 If you go with their included sheet of polycryo then that adds 3.65 ounces. Currently the price of the two is 375 dollars, and if you opt in on their polycryo sheet, then as I mentioned before, that's an additional eleven dollars. Honestly, for a lightweight shelter, a tent under two pounds that is a two-person shelter and is made out of nylon, this is a very reasonable price

 I'm sure most people will use the stuff sack and use the stakes that it comes with, but some people like to shave off a little weight by using more lightweight tent stakes. Some people might not use the stuff sack, so I like to know that bare bones weight, but if you take all of the other stuff that is included with this tent, then that tacks on an additional four ounces also because this is a nylon tent and it is recommended that you have a ground cloth. If you go with their included sheet of polycryo then that adds 3.65 ounces

 But then if you look at the instructions for setting up The shelter, it mentions that the floor is 15 denier nylon. My guess is that the chart is just a typo and that the floor actually is made with 15 denier nylon and the body tendineae nylon. just because typically a shelter will have a beefier fabric on the floor because it's going to see more abrasion than the top of the shelter. Unfortunately, I can't really tell a difference from feeling the body and the floor, so if somebody knows for sure, just let us know

 Unfortunately, I didn't find it in the tent bag with everything else but the first time that I set up this tent was on trail in the dark, so I think I probably ended up dropping it at the campsite and not noticing when I packed up the next morning. But I ended up using one of the additional tie outs as a makeshift clothesline anyway just to test out the function. The weight of the two, as far as the shelter itself with already attached guidelines, is 23.5 ounces

Post-Hike Tent Review: Gossamer Gear The Two

A new tent might be $150, but the weight savings might be a better value where as your cook set is not bad and would cost quite a bit to shave 3oz. By changing my tent from a 5.5lb Sierra Designs to a Gossamer Gear The Two.

Hi all! I want to become a faster and more efficient backpacker, but I'm currently a student and (for the most part) stuck with the gear I have. Hoping to get some input on cheap fixes I can make to drop some weight! On my last trip I got below 29lb with food &amp; water for the first time (my 3 season sleeping bag is heavier than the one I use over the summer), and even with that I noticed the difference. I'm linking my summer backpacking LighterPack. Let me know what you think!

5 oz, $375.The nylon “The Two” only weighs a few more ounces than the DCF Two but is virtually identical in design.  It packs up even smaller (11″ x 5″ vs “19 x 5”) because it doesn’t have a DCF rain fly, and is less transparent, but will experience slightly more sag at night when if the rain fly gets wet.Disclosure: Gossamer Gear loaned the author this tent for this review

 The tent also has panel pullouts that you can guy out to pull those areas out further if desired. However, the loops that you tie your cord to are impossibly small and hard to thread in the field, so you’ll want to probably want to add them at home and keep those guylines permanently attached.Durability and MaintenanceThe DCF Two is very well made with reinforced panel pullouts on all the guylines, seam-taped seams, and immaculate sewing. But it is lean and mean by design, so you’ll want to treat it kindly and maintain it after each use

Durability and MaintenanceThe DCF Two is very well made with reinforced panel pullouts on all the guylines, seam-taped seams, and immaculate sewing. But it is lean and mean by design, so you’ll want to treat it kindly and maintain it after each use. For instance, the 7 denier floor is very thin and I’d recommend using a lightweight footprint with this tent if you camp one on the packed-earth or rock dust tent sites commonly found on prepared tent sites. Gossamer Gear sells a plastic sheeting called polycryo for footprints that is super lightweight but extremely tough or you can just buy window wrap on Amazon for the same purpose

Our Trango tents are a standard for winter mountaineering. Built incredibly strong and engineered for the toughest high alpine conditions.

OutdoorGearLab

The Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 is an expedition-ready 4 season tent built for long base camp adventures. This tried and true model has been used from Antarctica to Mt. Everest to the North Pole and back again. It has accompanied people on remote expeditions to the ends of the earth. While a little overkill for modest summertime mountaineering in places like the Tetons, Canadian Rockies, or the North Cascades, the Trango is well worth every bit of weight when the conditions turn gnarly. It's easily one of the strongest shelters and is easy to pitch in high winds. It's the roomiest two-person shelter &mdash; something that will be appreciated by people living in it for months at a time. Its spacious vestibule will store plenty of gear or provide a place to cook when you simply can't hang outside any longer. 
The Trango is 100% designed for expedition use, and these attributes make it great in the nuclear wind; however, it's a little too heavy for multi-day ski touring or summertime mountaineering. If you aren't planning to go on an expedition anytime soon, you should look elsewhere for something lighter, more packable, and a better option for modest alpine objectives. For those looking for a shelter to be used in locations plagued by high winds and heavy snowfall, this tank of a tent is excellent as your home away from home in the world's most extreme environments. 

Switchback Travel

Choosing our favorite 4-season tent was no easy task, but Mountain Hardwear deftly balances it all with their time-tested Trango 2. This tent knows bad weather as well as any other, with a burly, double-wall design and fly that connects not only to the poles but also to the body of the tent for added security in high winds. With two doors and two vestibules you get great livability, and the generous 40 square foot footprint is significantly roomier than any other 2-person model here. In their most recent update, Mountain Hardwear added D-shaped doors for easy entry and expanded the bathtub floor for an even better defense against the elements.

Ultimately, the decision between the Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 and a single-wall tent like the Black Diamond Eldorado below comes down to your winter camping style. Some feel that the extra pounds are worth the added features and space, while others want to get up and down the mountain with as little weight as possible in their pack. One upside of the Trango 2 is that it’s easy to divvy up with your climbing partner to split the weight (single-wall tents often are not). And if weight isn’t an issue—which might be the case if you have porters or are flying into an area—the Trango comes in 3- and 4-person models for even more basecamp luxury.See the Mountain Hardwear Trango 2

The Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 is one of the most expedition-worthy 4 season tents ever built. It's perfect for harsh weather or extended base camp adventures. It has been from Antarctica to Mt. Everest to the North Pole. It has accompanied people on some of the most remote expeditions to the ends of the earth. While it's overkill for more modest summertime mountaineering in the Tetons, Canadian Rockies, or the North Cascades, it's worth every bit of weight when the conditions turn gnarly. With its 4-pole design &#40;not including its 5th hooped vestibule pole&#41;, the Trango 2 is easily one of the strongest shelters on the market and is as easy as it gets to pitch in high winds. It's the roomiest two-person shelter in our review, long term tent dwellers witill appreciate it. Its spacious vestibule will store plenty of gear or provide a place to cook when you can't hang outside any longer. 
The Trango is 100% designed for expedition use, and these attributes make it great in the nuclear wind or dumping snow; however, it's a little on the heavy side for multi-day ski touring or summertime mountaineering. If you aren't planning to go on an expedition anytime soon, you should look elsewhere for something lighter and more packable for modest alpine objectives. However, for those looking to shelter from high winds and heavy snowfall, this tank of a tent is excellent as your home away from home in the world's most extreme environments.

• My biggest complaint, which only applies to the Trango 2, is that the interior height/clearance is just WAY too low for anyone of large stature to use. I am 6’-2” and nearly 200 pounds. I CANNOT sit up ANYWHERE in the tent without my head poking through the ceiling. The peak interior height of the Trango 2 is listed and measured as 38”

• The dimensions of the Trango are fine, but the length is measured at the corners and the middle of the tent tends to come in a bit and be somewhat shorter, especially when not staked out. For example, the length of the Trangos is specified to be 92”. But I measure between 83” and 88” in the middle.

• Love the two door entries, which is common and standard amongst many expedition tents.

Best. Tent. Ever.

Stay away from Mountain Hardwear. They used to be great kit but, after Columbia bought them out their quality has went down ever since. Now they are just department store garbage like Columbia. I wouldn't even consider them anymore personally

I’ve never owned a UL tent before.  I have lugged around a bombproof, leakproof, heavy as a brick Northface Talus 3 for years since I couldn’t afford to replace it.  I just purchased a Mountain Hardware Strato UL 2 tent on sale and took it on its maiden trip to the Sierras last week.  Somehow managed to time the trip right when a storm was moving in and it rained every afternoon/night for the whole trip.  The first night the tent was fine.  Second night, the corners of the cross pole began dripping water onto the interior mesh.  It ran down the sides and wasn’t too bad.  Third and fourth nights, the corners kept dripping and then the rain fly began dripping and our sleeping bags got wet.  After being in a 3 persons tent for so long, a 2 person one felt tight and we were right up against the walls of the tent which made it easier to get wet.  My question is: is this normal?  Should I reseal it even though it’s essentially brand new, or return it for something else?  I appreciate any thoughts you all might have.

Leaky brand new tent

 Tent was from 2006, but had been used maybe 15 nights and always stored dry, indoors. They won't even sell me a new fly.

 I don't think I'm unreasonable in warranty expectations, so when I sent in my lightly-used MH Trango 2 fly for massive sealant delamination (check out the photos) I figured they'd hook me up. No--zero communication, just got it back with a note saying beyond product life. Tent was from 2006, but had been used maybe 15 nights and always stored dry, indoors. They won't even sell me a new fly

Mountain Hardwear warranty is a lie

It's got tons of pockets which is great for drying and organizing while it in for days on end. it's super roomy for a 2 person and fits the large double Exped Megapad which my other 2 person does not.

Sure it's heavy for a 2 person tent, but sometimes comfort and knowing that you have a comfortable and dry place to come back to just worth the effort

Bombproof and Great All Rounder

My only critical feedback is that the thing is really heavy and really bulky. Mostly due to the fabric and not the other components. Hauling it up the mountain is arduous at best and I normally have to split the thing into components and share the load amongst my crew. If you're looking for alpine fast and light, then you'd want to skip this tent and go with a bivy or something even more minimalist

Really bomber tent

 If you know that you are going to hit wind or cold, this tent is a sure bet; that's why they call it four season- if it won't be cold or wet overnight the body and poles aren't anything to worry about between two people and you can always do the fly/poles/footprint too. Thanks, and good to see MH is still making this design.

On long backpacking, more than 5 days, again it´s heavy, so what I do it´s share the weight with a buddy.
