I have a M.H. Atrium 4 person tent which I purchased in late 2006. It has been erected for a total of approx. 14 nights. First usage involved a night of constant heavy rain and 33 m.p.h. wind gusts. The tent handled itself beutifully. The last time I used the tent, I experienced leakage from the areas of the two sky light windows. The fly is presently at the M.H. Headquartes for testing and and review.

I also have a Skyledge two man tent whick I’ve used 3 times, two of which experienced constant heavy rains and the tent has performed exttremely well.

Thanks for the recommendation, Ollie. Their larger tents are definitely of the same kind of quality and durability. It’s sometimes hard to convince people that spending $300 is a lot cheaper than spending $100 three times (and suffering through all the breakages, condensation, etc.).

I bought a Mountain Hardwear tent (Skyview 2) about ten years ago, and would highly recommend them to anyone. While I have no experience with Mountain Hardwear’s larger tents, my gut tells me they would hold up at least as well as my two-person version. The rain fly is great, and adding space under it for gear outside the tent really helps to maximize the space inside. Having had several bad experiences with “superstore” tents, spending the extra money for higher quality is worth it the first time you get caught in a rain.
