Why We Like The Outpost 2 Tent

Our home away from home, the Mountain Hardwear Outpost 2 Tent lives up to its 4-season status with a double-wall construction that pairs a winter-worthy fly and floor with a well-ventilated canopy for warmer weather. The fly and floor have fully sealed seams for reliable waterproofing in rainy and snowy conditions, and the canopy's high-low venting includes multiple zippered mesh panels as well as two full-size doors with zippered mesh windows for optimal airflow. One of the doors even has a vestibule large enough for two campers' backpacks.

Ak field science win

The quality seems top notch. I haven’t put it through the wringer yet but live in alaska and would feel confident having it in heavy shoulder season snow. I like the way it feels inside. It’s homey. Great vestibule. I’ve cooked and stored boots in the front and have tucked a fairly empty 110L drybag in the back. Only issues are the interior pockets could be a bit better. I’d like more by the door but it might cause sag issues. And the rain fly touches the sides of the tent. Hopefully this won’t be a problem. Hasn’t been yet. I never use two person tents for two actual people but my dog loves to leap in and cozy up. Win.

Buy this over the MSR Hubba Hubba

I’ve only taken it out once, but can tell by the three nights I stayed in it that it’s a really great tent. One of the only 4 season tents that actually seems to work in 4 seasons. I used to have the MSR Hubba Hubba, but since they stopped making it with aluminum poles I decided to try something new and I’m glad I did. This weighs practically the same as the MSR, but seems to be of better quality. I’m very happy with it

Outpost 2 colour popping tent !!

I am a super proud owner of the Outpost 2 tent. I had a Coleman, MEC, and now a 2 person Outpost. I've taken it out twice with owning it a month, Thunderstorms the first time and super hot and humid the second time. Both back country and bith times performed amazing. Water pooled between the Outpost footprint and the bottom ofbthw floor and now a single leak. The choice of fabrics, sewing, mesh, pockets, and vent features kept me cool in the tent. It's a 4 season and my concern was that it would be too hot but with the vents and full mesh doors, I kept the outer fly open a bit and air flow was great in 29 degree celsius weather. The reflectors are awesome. After doing a bear hang and heading back to the tent, the reflectors clearly marked the spot where other tents were not to be seen. Usually I leave a light on in the tent but this time everyone missed that detail. The red colour truly pops and I get nad good comments :) It is very lightweight conaidering the durable construction and materials so fits in my pack with poles packed separately. Highly recommend the Outpost 2 tent. I can't wait to use it in the fall and maybe a winter trip too.

Great for high alpine in heavy weather

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I’ve used this tent for a little over a year now, and it is my go to for most backpacking and mountaineering trips. I wanted a robust 4 season tent that was double wall but could compete weight-wise with three season models. This tent has held up in all conditions - I bivouacked on an exposed ridge with 50+ mph winds and she took it like a champ. The large doors also allow for great ventilation on warmer summer trips. This tent, for me, is the perfect blend of sturdy, bomb-proof weather protection and weight-saving features. Used it solo and on light-n-fast 2 man trips where vert is my primary goal. The only time I don’t reach for this tent is on multi-day 2 person trips where extra space trumps the weight savings

Winter Camping

I went winter camping and used the Outpost 2 tent. Performed well with 7 inches of new snow and wind during the night. Happy about this product.

Excellent Shelter

The tent is perfect for many usages. Excellent headroom when stuck in the tent for weather, easy and fast setup, great shelter in the wind and extreme weather, good ventilation. The only downside is the lack of integrated mesh and fabric doors, it may be better that way for ventilation in excessive warm weather so it is not a deal breaker. It is an excellent shelter overall.

Disappointed Tall Purchaser

I was really hoping for a better fit. As a two-person winter tent, this is really tight. Your sleeping bags are probably up against the sidewall and risk getting wet. The key point though, is that this tent seems unworkable for two people if one or both have a long sleeping bag. As long as both users have a regular size bag, it can work. As it is, it BARELY works for me as a one-person tent if I run my pad and sleeping bag diagonally. One end of the bag is still likely to end up against an end wall and potentially get damp / wet from condensation. Other than this very key consideration, I like the tent, but I don’t know if I should keep it or return it. (It could use more pockets.) Measure carefully! PS This seems to be industry-wide. I have not really found anything in a two-person tent that is any better. For two people, I prefer a three-person tent, even with the extra weight. If it was 5” longer (it’s ADVERTISED length), for tall campers it would have no competition, and would weigh only a few ounces more.

Great weight, but won't save you against harsh winds

I bought this tent about a year ago, so far impressed with the weight and all of the small features that come along. It's easy to carry while being in a solo trip, so being 2 (in the spring/fall months) it's a dream. Although, if you need a tent that'll stand against dtrong winds, that's not the one. You could easily get this tent for most of the times for 4 season camping, but make sure to know that if you camp somewhere exposed to the wind, you'll feel it and sure thing you won't sleep. So yeah, if you're on the market for a full-on winter tent, I'd reconsider this choice. If you're looking for and all-season mountaineering tent, this is peeeeeeeeerfect!

Baby Trango!

Pretty nice tent. Can see why this is a good all year tent. It’s nice and light weight, and sets up fast. I don’t know if I’d use it at altitude in the middle of a blizzard. But outside of that, this 3.9 season tent is really sweet. Enough room for two people if you don’t mind being close. In winter I always size tents down 1 person. So, this is a fantastic winter solo tent. Much more gear to carry in winter, might be cramped with two. Either way, you won’t be disappointed. Cool vents at the top too. Great job MHW!

The perfect tent for most situations

I used this tent for a solo, late-September, high-country hunt in the Bitterroot Selway Wilderness. During this trip, I spent over 21 continuous hours in the tent taking refuge from non-stop variations of rain, sleet and snow accompanied by howling winds in the 30+ mph range. With over 25 years of backpacking experience, I confidently say this is the best, most universal tent I have ever owned. The weight is more than ideal if you're on a solo trip and need a tent that can handle winter conditions like a big snow dump. The size of the tent is also very good for a trip with two people. On an earlier trip with my girlfriend, we both had plenty of room and sleeping pads weren't overlapped like has happened in a lighter, smaller 2-person summer backpacking tents. The front vestibule is sufficient for 2 backpacks and boots assuming that you enter/exit through the back entrance where the vestibule area is quite small. I am super excited about this tent.
