The Mountain Hardwear Hammerhead 2

I chose the Mountain Hardwear Hammerhead 2 recently while deciding on a new tent and will be taking it out in just a couple hours for a camping trip in Pennsylvania this weekend. It sleeps 2 people for 3-seasons with 2 doors. Its floor dimensions 38 inches square feet floor space and peak height is 44 inches. The Hammerhead is made of Nylon and Polyester. The tent is on sale at REI for $216.73 (originally was $260.00)

I almost bought the Lightpath 3 by Mountain Hardwear but decided against it because
it was more of a minimal design that what I was looking for, but still a great tent none the less and will protect you from the wind and rain. The Lightpath 3 only has one door, only stand 38 inches tall, 30 inches square feet for the floor, and is not free standing either, which is not always an issue for me, but is something to be aware of.  Although the Hammerhead 2 is slightly heavier in weight, the Hammerhead still met my needs for what I was looking for.

Tent features a zip out panel for a lighter, more packable configuration; leaving the panel behind takes 4 oz. off the trail weight

Or keep the panel for more protection and greater privacy

Sturdy 3-pole design offers great livability for 2 backpackers; clips, color-coded pole loops and reflective starter point ensure easy setup

No-see-um mesh doors and panels maintain ventilation to prevent interior condensation; large mesh sky panel rolls back for views and venting in nice weather

Opposing double-slider door zippers make variable venting easy

Rainfly's clear SVX film window adds light and a view outside; 2 vents ensure proper airflow in all kinds of weather

When the weather is "iffy" but you still want a view and ventilation, roll up the rainfly's front side for limited exposure

Dry-entry vestibule design prevents water from dripping inside tent when vestibule is open so you don't get soaked

Atlas 7001 Yunan poles are lightweight, corrosion- and dent-resistant and completely field serviceable by hand

For extra stability, each guyout point clips to the frame on the interior side of the rainfly via welded attachment points

All guyout loops are reflective for easy identification and canopy pockets keep tent organized

Hammerhead 2 features superlight buckles and webbing to save weight

Mountain Hardwear Watertight Construction: Thoughtful design, taping and welding technology combine to make this tent watertight off the shelf. No seam sealing is required

Save weight and create a minimalist shelter by using just the rainfly, footprint (not included),    poles and stakes

Comes with stuff sacks, stakes and guyline/tighteners
