User Review: Mountain Hardwear Skyview 2

Price Paid: $250

I've had this tent for over seven years. It is bombproof--well designed (as is just about everything from this company). As others have mentioned, the tent is on the heavy side--more than my wife and I care to carry on our backs. However, this is an amazing tent for anything less than a full-scale approach. We typically use it when we have our two rambunctious retrievers with us--the 45 sq feet is more than enough for us.

My only complaint deals with the fly; its design is such that it must be pitched with the additional pole. In my ideal world, the fly would not need to be staked out. Small quibble, as this is a stellar tent. (I also have a Hammerhead 2, Chouinard Megamid, and SD Clip Flashlight tents. When weight isn't an issue--this one gets used.)

Grocery store plastic bags buried in the sand have been useful snow/sand anchors on some occasions...your mileage may vary.
