Jason B.'s Review of Mountain Hardwear EV 3 Tent - 3 Person, 4 Season

I bought this tent from Campsaver a couple years ago. Since then, it has been used all throughout the Sierras. Its been under sequoias in the summer, anchored into 10 feet of ice, and used to ride out a nasty windy thunderstorms. Other than a couple gear-related floor punctures (nothing a little duct tape can't handle), it still looks brand new and has many years of adventures and challenges ahead of it. In fact, we did a trip Hetch Hetchy to a mostly frozen Lake Vernon in February and we were pretty happy to have this tent when the temperatures dropped to the low teens at night. Too bad Mountain Hardwear discontinued this because it really is a perfect tent engineered for serious backpackers and mountaineers.
Pros:
  • Rock solid
  • Weight is decent for the strength
  • Low condensation with vents open
  • Interior vestibule is perfect for cooking when its freezing outside
  • Easy to setup and breakdown even with cold fingers
Cons:
  • A little warm on summer nights
  • Front zipper doors often get stuck
Best Used for:
  • MOUNTAINEERING
  • snow camping
  • harsh conditions
Would Recommend: Yes
