Mountain Hardwear Outpost 2 Tent

The Mountain Hardwear Outpost 2 Tent is a freestanding, double-wall dome shelter built for four-season use, from exposed backpacking trips to mountaineering base camps. Three DAC Featherlight NSL aluminum poles pitch inner-first and hold up a 30D nylon ripstop fly rated to 2000mm and a 40D inner canopy, while the bathtub floor in 30D nylon carries a 4000mm waterproof rating — numbers that put it well ahead of typical 3-season shelters when it comes to sustained rain or wet snow. At 2651g total (2367g minimum trail weight, roughly 1326g and 1184g per person for two occupants), it is not an ultralight pick; the weight buys a sturdier pole structure, factory-taped seams, and two doors with two vestibules (1.2 m² combined) for separate gear storage and entry without climbing over a tent-mate. Floor area is 2.8 m² with a 105cm peak height, giving two people workable but not generous room, especially once packs are stored inside during bad weather. This tent suits backpackers and mountaineers who prioritize weather resistance and freestanding pitch flexibility over minimizing pack weight — a reasonable base-camp or shoulder-season shelter rather than a thru-hiking ultralight choice.
