Mountain Hardwear: Trango 2

While the Trango 2 may be heavier than some other 4-season tents and might take up a bit more space when packed, what you’re giving up in portability is more than made up for by the Trango’s ability to weather winter storms better than most other 4-season tents.

The Trango 2 shelters two adults comfortably in its 40.5 square foot floor area and has a roomy 41 in. high ceiling. The dual shelf design provides extra structural integrity and vestibule support without adding a net of taut cords and lines. The Trango 2’s four poles are Easton C2 carbon for added support. 

A large vent panel in the upper canopy adds extra ventilation, as do the dual vestibule exits. This arrangement provides the occupants with greater comfort during humid and warm weather conditions. Other interesting and useful features include two UVX viewing windows, one over the vent and another in the vestibule fly, and multiple guy-out points for added support attachments during severe weather.

Weighing in at 8 lbs. 5 oz the Trango 2 provides some of the roomiest and sturdiest two-man shelter you can find. It has a MSRP of $445.95. Available for Purchase here
