Mountain Hardwear Trango 2

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: very easy
Weight: 4.1
Price Paid: 500 euro

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.
The only big disadvantage is the groundsheet which is a horror. After three weeks it leaked everywhere and it had to be replaced (by a groundsheet from Lowland, a Dutch tent-maker).

Because I buy a tent to be waterproof (if it's dry I can bivy in the open-sky in my sleeping bag) I won't buy the tent again. Maybe I had a mis-production, but I won't take that risk again.
