Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 is designed for 4-season expeditions. It offers superior strength and reliability in conditions where survival during bad weather can be an issue.

  • Mountain Hardwear has updated Trango to improve strength and ease of setup; vestibule pole has an increased diameter and affixes to the outside of the tent via pole clips
  • Evolution Tension Arch™, a system of non-stretch panels, act as a fabric truss structure that resists deformation by holding the poles in a stable arch
  • The result is a 10-12% increase in the strength of the tent, as demonstrated in wind-tunnel testing
  • Atlas Scandium XL poles are super light and strong and entirely field serviceable by hand; dual diameter saves weight where possible without sacrificing strength where needed
  • 2 mesh/fabric doors provide easy entry/exit; large vestibule provides work-worthy space, while the small one is handy for access, overflow storage and vent manipulation
  • 2 clear SVX windows are placed correctly to check the weather and the tent's color fends off depression while you wait for the weather to improve
  • Dry-entry vestibule design prevents water from dripping inside tent when vestibule is open, improving livability
  • Mesh/fabric zippered thru-vent ensures good air circulation
  • Tension Shelf supports a brow pole which greatly increases vestibule volume, adds structural strength and offers overhead storage
  • Expedition bathtub-style nylon floor features a non-hydrolyzing 5000mm polyether urethane coating making it one of the strongest floors available
  • Expedition nylon taffeta rainfly features a polyurethane coating on the inside and a silicone coating on the outside for added rip- and UV-resistance
  • For extra stability each guyout point clips to the frame on the interior side of the rainfly via welded attachment points
  • Catenary-cut seams create a taut canopy and rainfly for improved strength
  • All the poles are color coded to the bar tacks in the webbing of the grommet tabs, plus reflective starter points help setup in low light conditions
  • Internal guy system provides additional rigidity to the structure by creating resistance to the flexing/ deformation of the frame
  • All guyout points are reflective for easy identification and canopy pockets keep tent organized; optional gear lofts are sold separately
  • Superlight buckles and webbing save weight
  • For a lightweight setup during nice weather leave tent body behind; use the rainfly and footprint (sold separately) with the poles and stakes
  • Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guyline/tighteners
  • Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 Tent:

    I would have given this tent 5 stars if it wasn't for two factors. The first being the Fly design, while it performed great the vestibules could have been devised a little better. Without at least 3 anchors per side it is hard to keep them fully "inflated" for lack of a better term. I had to use 3 attachment points on each side to make sure they stayed taut and functional. Once set up however there is more than enough room and it has great function. My second complaint would be the bath tub design of the tent. While I understand the benefits of this design it does take about 6 inches away from either side of the tent and I always feel like I am going to rip something if I lean on it to hard or throw something (pack) into the corner. It just seems to taut, it would have been a little better if there was some stretch to it but I am sure that would have sacrificed another quality of the tent.

    Other than what was stated above I love this tent, we have used it on Longs in the winter twice, once with 3 people in it and it was perfect. We do get some condensation but most of the time it's just bad air management on our part and could be prevented with proper venting. My only addition to the tent would be a stove vent on the large side vestibule, The door always flaps in when we have it cracked and can get in the way; A nice square flap that could be opened would have been nice to let the steam from boiling water escape and not collect inside the vestibule.

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 Tent:

    Don't underestimate this tent. It is bigger than many of the competition, more sturdy than many other 4-season tents and won't let you down....unless you care about weight. Carry this tent up a mountain if you feel the size is really worth it, otherwise go for the mountain hardware spire 2.1 that will save you almost 5lbs (but looses 10sqft of sleeping space). aka your tent mate should be your personal mate....

    Thae tent works great. That is, the tent works great if you don't mind the fly not fitting right, and having to be on your hands and knees to enter and exit.
