Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 2 Tent

The Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 2 Tent is a freestanding, double-wall dome for two, built around a pair of DAC Pressfit aluminum poles – a recognized pole brand known for consistent quality control. The fly and floor share a step up in waterproofing compared to Mountain Hardwear's Meridian series: both are rated to 2000 mm PU coating rather than 1500 mm, on 68D polyester fly and 75D polyester floor fabric respectively, with factory-taped seams throughout. Floor space is 3.07 m² (223 x 137 cm) with a 109 cm peak height and two vestibules totaling 1.7 m², yielding 1.54 m² of floor per person and a 55% vestibule ratio for gear storage. The full-mesh inner tent favors ventilation, and three interior pockets, six stakes, and guy lines round out the included hardware; a footprint ships with the tent. At 2278 g trail weight and 2649 g packed, it sits in the mid-weight bracket for a freestanding 2-person tent – not ultralight, but the higher waterproof rating and DAC pole quality suit backpackers prioritizing weather margin over minimum grams.
