Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1 Tent Review

November 28, 2008

Tents don't wear out per se I just find cooler ones to buy. If your looking to have a tent stay in your pack for years to come the Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1 tent would be my pick. Been using it for a while now and here are my findings. I like how Mountain Hardwear really switched up their tie down material near the stakes of the tent. Its a super thin low-key strap that is surprisingly strong. The top pole that creates space on the roof of the of tent is also nice for keeping the fly away from the mesh which kept us dry this summer. The weight of this thing is amazing. They only used the lightest of materials down to the shock cord in the tent poles. Minimum weight is 3lbs. 15oz and that divided...well you do the math. I like how it has the two doors and not only that but two vestibules. This is great for not mixing your gear around with your tent partner and leaves more cooking space. Its all about the hooks. I am so done with sleeves. Hooks are so easy to use and make the set up ultra quick. The fly is a very waterproof and tough piece keeping you warm and dry. Packs down small and would be a great replacement for that old smelly tent in your garage. BUY NOW: The Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1 Tent at REI.com.
