Mountain Hardwear Trango 2

This tent has provided us bombproof shelter for almost a decade. Seam seal the fly, use a ground sheet, and always hang it up to dry thoroughly before storage. Other than being a smidge on the heavy side, it's perfect.

What a tent . . . my lovely wife gave it to me for a wedding present 2 wks ago. our wedding trip was to the arctic circle. the trango 2 went up in a flash and we were cozily settled inside before the horde of giant mosquitoes were able to eat us down to the bone.

I agree with all the positive things that have been said. Absolutely awesome design. I would buy it again and again.

My only one complaint is condensation. Even with all the vents wide open when it only drops to 50-60 deg at night, I still wake with lots of condensation with only 1-2 sleepers.

I have owned several (three) so called expedition tents. I have had Halti XPD, and Vaude K2 Space. Those tents were big dissapoints for me.

After those two I try to get Marmot Thor 2P but LUCKILY I did not get that. At the same time I did make an order for this great (I did not known it then) tent.

I think tents "Today" could learn from the '70s. This tent was no "Snowflaps" or "Cool/Pee Hole" zippered into floor like the great tents of the '70s. The poles are better today and also the fabric, but the "Outsourced" workmanship is Shotty. One tent is OK but the next is so-so. Tents today do not compare well with the tents of 30 years also...

I have used this tent 10-15 times climbing in the Cascades. The tent held up great until I took it to Mt. Rainier where it was pummeled for four nights by 40-70mph winds. Two poles bent and the rain fly tore in three places.

I did find the tent to be exceptional in the rain though and very roomy.

Sweet tent. I have used it climbing Mt. Shasta a dozen times, peak bagging in the Sierras, and just backpacking through the Sierras as well. Every aspect of this tent far surpasses all other tents, less the weight. If it weren't so damn heavy it would be perfect.

I've owned this tent for seven years now, and it's still with me. Great for hiking and winter-mountaineering, although it's pretty cramped with two people and their gear in winter conditions.

Setup is very easy, thanks to the clips and it's tornado-proof.

Great tent.

Hopefully you will not need support. I e-mailed Mountain Hardwear for advise on using internal guys but got no reply.

I have used this tent in the Minnesota BWCA on two seperate trips. Once in mid-August and once at the end of February. I found it a warm tent and would not recommend it for summer camping. However, for winter camping it was quite nice.

The biggest disadvantage to it: I wish I would have bought the three person.

I bought this tent three years ago in Lincoln, N. H. The shop owner gave me a great deal and I did not refuse it. This tent is very strong and I've been very impressed with it. Certainly the best tent I've ever used in my 12 years of peak bagging.

I have owned this tent for a year and a half and have been very happy with it. I have had the tent on three mountains, including winter ascents of Mt. Rainier and Washington. The tent is easy to set up with two people in high winds and very easy for one person to set up in mild conditions.

The best tent I've ever seen. I work in Denali National Park, Alaska: monitoring the North Butress of Mt. McKinley. My job is being outdoors 320/days per year -- in a wide variety of weather. This is the best damn tent one can prchase.

i have used the Trango 2 all over the United States and it has stood up to every weather condition i have ever faced. It has never leaked on me, although i did seem seal it before i ever took it out (just in case). I have used it on mountains in Colorado as well as wilderness areas throughout the west and in areas of West Virginia.

I had to borrow this tent since the one I purchased from Northern Mountain Supply arrive without a fly. By the way, that was several months ago and they still have my money. Don't buy anything from them or you will get scammed like I did. This may not be the proper place to say this, but this is meant to help you in purchasing your gear.

I've owned the tent over 2 years. I have used it car camping, backpacking, backcountry skiing, and mountineering. I have always stayed warm and dry within the tent. I took the time to seam-seal all seams near the ground the first summer that I bought the tent, therefore I cannot state if any additional benifit was gained.

This tent is not light by no means and meant for the other three seasons of camping, but if you don't mind the extra weight this tent is for you. The storage inside the tent is great even without the gear loft. I do recommend the Foot Print (sold sep.

I recently purchased this tent and just tried it out for the first time under less than ideal conditions. I was camped out at approx 10,000' and was snowed/rained on for two days straight. Even with the wet heavy snow, the tent never leaked a drop.

I've had the Trango for four months now, and have subjected it to five weekends in various conditions ranging from the Mendocino coast to Mt. Shasta. Initially I was skeptical about the usefullness of this tent as it is largely touted as being a bomber expedition shelter.

It has more space than comparable tents having the same design: TNF Mountain-24, Wild Country Mountain. Absolutely bomber. Stays moderately cool for summer use.

The tent performs well on Alaskan glaciers and in deep snow in the upper U.P. Can handle three climbers and gear nicely.
