Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Trango 3 Tent
From base camp to storm-battered ridges, the Mountain Hardwear Trango 3 Tent shelters the world's best alpinists and small expedition teams. It's been around for nigh on 20 years, and for good reason. A few reasons might include the burly four-pole design (plus one vestibule pole) with DAC Featherlight NSL aluminum poles, or the waterproof PU- and silicone-coated nylon fabrics that are as tough as nails, or maybe that it all weighs just over ten pounds. All the seams on the fly and floor are fully taped for superior waterproofing, and the DirectConnect guy-out points, pole clips, and zipper flaps are fully welded for extreme durability in extreme conditions. Mountain Hardwear designed the Trango with double mesh doors for ventilation and matching vestibules to stand up to storms, and added snow flaps on the bottom of the fly to keep out whirling winds and spindrift.

Used on K2. Best Tent.
Best tent in its category. This thing is very strong and reliable. It anchors super well with all the different guyline attachment points and the fly performs great in extreme weather. Used on K2.

Excellent and High Recommend
Excellent mountaineering tent - used on Rainier and Denali. It is intuitive and less complicated than North Face equivalent. But, if you are used to North Face then it will take few times to get used to. But once you do, it is awesome tent - quality, water proofing, pitching in cold and blizzard condition with gloves..

Great tent.
I bought this for winter backpacking with my two daughters. It’s a bit heavier than I what I would normally carry, but to be fair, this tent isn’t advertised as a backpacking tent. For a three person, legitimate winter tent, I just resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to accept the extra weight. For the first trip, we spent three nights in well below freezing temperatures with snow, ice, and wind. This tent held up great, was surprisingly easy to pitch, and kept us warm. For fun, I brought along an indoor/outdoor thermometer and found it to be anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer inside the tent. There was a bit of condensation, but that’s to be expected. Keeping the top window open helped a lot.

Sturdy Build
Lightweight enough to take on long treks, but study enough for windy mountain passes. It packs down small enough to take up minimal space in my 105L long-distance ruck, and assembles quickly and easily even in the dark. I'm a huge fan of the simplicity and the build quality.

Great all around mountaineering tent!
The new Trango 3 tent is a great all around mountaineering tent that has worked very well for me on big peaks. I'm very happy with the structural design, this tent has held up much better than other 4 season tents I've used, the tent can withstand high winds well. It's lightweight considering how strong it is, which is very important in a big storm. Also, for tall people it's got plenty of room to stretch out full, which many other 4 season tents fall short on.

A year round performer
I use the Trango 3 for Himalayan expeditions, camping at crags here in USA, and for winter trips to backcountry ski and ice climb. I like a tent that does it all. If you're looking for one tent that can do that, go for the Trango line. Durable and built to last. My oldest Trango tent is 21 years old and still performing.

Hands down the best all mountain tent made.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first Trango 3.1 in the late 1990's, not sure the year but after 100's and 100's of trips it still was in excellent condition and performed perfect. It was bomb proof in snow load, wind and rain etc. There were of course improvements made on subsequent editions on this tent like the upper zipper vent, the exterior vestibule pole as opposed to the pole inside the vestibule and a few other minor design changes. So, with a few extra bucks I had this season I pulled the plug and got the 2018 edition Trango 3. I'm so stoked to get the new model. Just pumped beyond words. Heading out and up above Kings next week, Yew!! This tent I highly recommend.

Go to Expedition Tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has never let me down on any expedition. Great at altitude and in high winds. I use 3 person for 2 for added comfort.
