Excellent, Bombproof, All-Season Shelter
I've been the pround owner of a Trango 2 for 3 weeks. Work committments have prevented me from testing it in my usual playground of the Scottish Highlands, although I have spent a couple of nights camped out in my living-room. In the depths of winter I normally experience an intermittent leak in the ceiling, and this year has been no different. Pitching the Trango directly underneath, it has stood up to the incessant drip admirably. I have even opened the windows to try and generate some local wind-effect and the tent has remained bomb-proof throughout; use of the internal guy system added extra stability. Pitched on top of my deep shag-pile carpet, the excellent Y-shaped pegs drove home uniformly and have remained effortlessly in-situ. Noise-proofing, although satisfactory in normal conditions, has been an area of disappointment. Even with the fly zipped tight and the vent-hole closed, I'm still occassionally woken by my teenage neighbours playing gangsta-rap during the small hours. A small niggle in an otherwise excellent shelter.
high quality - tough to beat.
Very nice tent. Large enough for two 6 foot plus people. lots of pockets and all that stuff. definitely bomb proof, assuming that the only bombs are high winds, cold, snow, sleet, and rain. It is a little on the heavy side, so not the purest minimalist alpine tent, but i have no other complaints and should purchased much earlier. thanks.
Great Tent!
As a person who has spent many nights on the upper glaciers of Rainer in very high winds(75+)and snow I give this tent two thumbs up, we have never had a moment of fear that our tent wouldn't hold up, and unlike many of the other reviewers it could be a matter of life or death if it didn't hold up.
Wow!
I bought this tent expecting to be pleased. Not having test it through any snow i cant say how it handles it. But on a trip we experienced some pretty foul weather. with nearly 4 days of constant rain and winds of close to 60 m/h this tent held up beautifully. didn't budge or leak. had no condensation issues at all and am thoroughly impressed.
Sweet as!
This tent was sweet as! I used it on the South Island of New Zealand and found it totally indestructable in what can very demanding weather conditions (wind/rain/frost etc). I was able to pitch it the dark in down pouring rain with high winds without a drama. Also great for warm conditions in Aust during the summer with great ventilation. My poles didn't bend and nor did my rain fly fall off like others have experienced above.
