Piper pete's Review of Mountainsmith Mountain Shelter LT Tarp

I wrote an original review here in 2019 so here's another update 3 years further out.

First this tent was listed on sale for $99 at the time. So I bought 2. Times have changed seeing the current price. This has still been my go to shelter in all seasons. You have to understand single wall shelters to know that this product is above and beyond. Every single wall shelter I own has condensation when the tent is completely closed. The UL hand were I bring is the solutions for that issue. Yet most night the doors stays mostly open. Ive been so spoiled by the space this tent creates. The vestibule area is gigantic. The space inside is also huge. Easily this is a 2+ tent. Rain, wind, cold, hot and muggy, snowy i have used it in all conditions. This tarp won't fail if you stake it correctly (u have to practice). Also the guy lines are also strategically located.

One wish there are times when I could have setup the tent using hanging loops at the peak points instead of using poles. Put it on the MS wish list. Highly recommended product.
