Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge 3 Tent

Excellent tent for Two
As the remnants of Hurricane Rita pushed north over central AR, I was camped atop Mount Magazine, the state's highest point, at 2,730 feet in my brand new Light Wedge 3. After learning the forecast for the stormy night ahead, I did everythg I could think of to stormproof my tent, determined to stay dry inside for some eight hours of extraordinary wind and rain. At 9 pm under light, steady rain, I crawled in knowing that the more comfortable (and safer) sleeping option would be my Toyota minivan. Howling winds and heavy rainfall awakened me several times after midnite, but the Mt. Hardwear tent and its sturdy fly stayed put, with its interior perfectly dry until I emerged into a misty rain at dawn on 9-25-05. (Winds of 30 mph were reported that night at Mount Magazine State Park.) I feel the Light Wedge 3 deserves a five star rating for wind and rain resistance and could've easily kept 2 people as dry as I was.

Good tent, nice big vesitbule
I bought this tent as a roomy 2 person tent, and it definitely fits the bill. It has a HUGE loft built in which is very nice. We use it to put stuff sacks and dirty clothes. Also plenty of little pcokets for holding things. Not much heavier than my tiny tent from before, like darker colored fly for early mornings.. makes the sun seem less intense to wake up to.

Easy set-up; great durability
This is the easiest tent I've ever had to set up. Just two tent poles and that's it! We used the rain fly on the first night we ever used the tent and we were warm and dry inside. Here's a tip - tie the zip chords to the rain fly before you head out to the campsite. You wouldn't want to be caught in the rain and have to fuss with those. Also, the screen on the door allows for great visibility, but don't let your 8-month old labrador see you inside the tent, while she's outside. Those paws wreak havoc on the mesh window! Enjoy!

Killer tent for a killer price!
This tent is definately a winner. It was really easy to put up and definately enough space for three people. I really like the weight it is not so heavy for a 3 person tent. I love the built in gear loft and pockets, very handy. This is definately a killer tent for a killer price.

Great!
I am very happy I chose this tent. It is very roomy for two adults. I used it all summer traveling from pow-wow to pow-wow! Wish it would have rained at least once but it didn't. Anyway, when you take the fly off in the daytime, the cool breezes really help, in the cold evenings this tent was very warm! I got a great deal!
