On a recent ascent to the Roraima Tepuy in Venezuela we had the shittiest time with a shitty tent and we watched in envy how some French tourists put together this bomb shelte…

The VE 25 is the premier expedition quality tent whether on Aconcagua, Denali or any of the other 7 summits. Yeah, it's a bit heavy, but there's no better tent when the winds…

This is for tent people who don't like the idea of being wrapped like a cheap hotdog in a bivy all night. I have been bombed overnight with snow and thrashed with wind while…

The weight of this thing (or lack thereof) is amazing. I can literally fit this tent under a few straps on the OUTSIDE of my pack. At first look, one is certain this fabric w…

This tent is perfect for two people and their gear, without weighing as much as many 3 person tents do. The hybrid design is fantastic if you want to pull back the fly and en…

With only one use, I have to say that this is the best tent I have ever used. I set this tent up on a recent hike into the Sipsey Wilderness of the Bankhead National Forest in…

This tent is by far the most durable and roomy 2 person tent I have ever used. The poles bend out to provide much more room to those inside, which is a nice feature when you h…

This tent is a weapon. It is light and simple. So simple you cannot believe it. I was especially grateful when an evening storm made quick set up sort of critical. I was nice…

Great value as it comes with the vestibule and the seams are already taped. As the name implies it's intended use is to assault epic alpine routes (hence no footprint is sold)…

We've used this tent in 60 -70 mph winds on Aconcagua and Rainier and been very satisfied. It has kept us warm in snowy conditions and dry in horizontal rain! The vestibules a…

The Trango 2 is a great size for 2-3 people to live out of in the backcountry (2 for serious mountaineering). However, I have seen poles on this tent snap in both the Chugach…
