Life saver, reliable

"This review is based on the model I bought five years ago! I have used this tent for five years in varying conditions: all the way from hot summer nights in Michigan to cold, windy nights on Mt. Rainier glaciers. It is good to know you will have a reliable "home" after a long day. Two persons can sleep inside with most of the gear (we use our backpacks for propping up our head). The vestibule is big enough to ..." Read Full Review »

Not as good as it seems

"I was on a expedition trip to K-2 and we had gale force winds come up and the tent tore apart and the poles buckled , this tent model has a problem with high force winds. I don't know if it is the material this model is made out of but you are taking a serious risk but using this particular model in high wind areas...." Read Full Review »

"If you can afford this tent, it is the only tent you'll ever need (unless you have more than two people that is)... No matter how bad the weather is, you will be dry once you get inside a Mountain 25. It is easy and fast to set up, and is super lightweight.

"We used this tent on a 100 mike trek across the South New Zealand Otago; great performance in high winds (50+ mph); holds body heat during very low temperatures (10F); takes some time to set up, but worth it when conditions are extreme. Plenty of room for two people; vestibules at each end with lots …"  Read Full Review »

While other tents were flapping around, this one was solid - I got a good nights sleep. Ventilation is ok, not as good as my REI Mountain 3, but the construction and details …"  Read Full Review »
