Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Trango 4 Tent
A mountaineering staple since 1995, the Mountain Hardwear Trango 4 Tent has a strong track record that goes back decades. The Trango features a 4-season build with direct connection points that secure the tent, frame, and fly at each guy-out point and a bathtub-style floor that provides better weather protection. It's color-coded to make it easy to secure the tent to its industry-leading DAC Featherlight NSL poles and includes large, dry-entry vestibules with a sleeved internal pole on one side for plenty of headroom and gear storage. This tent is winter-ready but also features a zippered thru-vent to minimize condensation and maximize airflow for more comfortable sleeping conditions.

Tough
I bought the trango 4 about 8 years ago. It's been an awesome tent held up to 70+ mph winds on a few occasions. Still water proof and held up to a couple inches of snow also.

Bomber
Bought for an attempt of Aconcagua. Turns out it was the perfect tent for the upper mountain. Used it for 6 nights above 16,000ft in wind gusts upwards of 50mph. This thing is bomber. No issues with condensation either. I'm not sure I'd squeeze 4 adults in there. with 25" pads you'd be hard pressed to fit 4, 3 was quite cozy. My only complaints: there is only one window and vent, yet the fly can go on either way. I'd like to see a vent on both sides of the tent body and a window on each side of the fly.

The tend I never knew I needed
If you want one tent to do it all look no further. The construction is exceptional and the features perfect for any excursion. Thus far I've had it in 20 degree temps in the Rockies and 60 degree temps on the Colorado Plateau. I do alot of camping and have had other tents I felt to be great options that never lived up to the hype. If I ever wear this tent out it will be replaced with another.

Up Year Round
Solid tent. Have had it up through the end of the winter, all the through spring and into the summer here in Montana. Will check back in as winter arrives.

Best 4 person tent out there.
This is by far the best 4 season tent for big multiday trekking or mountaineering adventures. This has been the perfect tent for our Kilimanjaro trips for the past 15 years and we continue to purchase this tent. More expensive than others, but lasts twice as long. An amazing product.

The Everlasting tent
My first experience with Mountain hard wear was with my purchase of a Sky View 3, and a down sleeping bag with "crazy legs." Not really sure what year that was, some time in the mid-90's? Used that tent from Alaska to Assateaque island, with a lot of Rockies in between. Now, married with two children, pulled out the Sky View and all of us (with a dog ) crammed in there for 5 day canoe trip in the Adirondacks. worked great. All this to say, this purchase is for snow camping, it is nice and large enough for all of us and the pup, for our winter excursions. Excited to get out there for some shoeing adventures. Dont know if we will end up on a glacier like the Sky View, but this thing is so solid that it would do excellent. Just solid designs that have lasted through several decades with some cool improvements.

Solid tent
Color coordinated for easy set up. Large tent, sub 10lbs! One thing to keep in my if you are backpacking, it’s large and takes up considerable space in your pack, but it’s worth it. 4 season, 4 person. My argument is having more space to play cards, store gear, and move if a predator is outside. I like having room to negotiate if a large animal is on the wall of my tent vs the 2 person tents.

Love this burly tent
Bought last model Trango (orange) to holdup to the winds at burning man after going through a number of other tents out there. Now it’s our regular use tent. We take it backpacking, car camping, canoeing, etc. The orange one had an issue with the fly hooks coming off from UV damage, so they credited me for the tent and I was able to pickup the newer Trango (blue). Feels great to buy gear from a company that stands by it.

Absolutely Wonderful
I bought this tent a year ago (4/25/20)and set it up in my back yard. I have been sleeping in for 365+ day’s. (My house was been remodeled from top to bottom. So I use the tent as out side bedroom. Plus I love camping on top of everything else.) Now,this tent is very out standing with it’s construction and the materials that were use to make the tents. It has stood up to all the different weather’s. That mid-west can throw at you on any given day.(rain,snow, and blistering cold weather). I love this so much, I decided to buy a second one for camping trips with friends and family.

high quality materials
Tent stayed dry for days of continuous rain.. Will heat up with sunlight which is probably a good thing but not good for hot weather rain.. good quality materials (just like my MH jacket) not as tall as specified because the peak height of the tent is higher than the body.. stronghold or space station will be my next purchase because i need more height and room...
