Mountain Hardwear Airjet 2 Tent:
Go light without living like a sardine. The highly breathable Mountain Hardwear Airjett 2 gives you plenty of freestanding versatility in a design that weighs less than four pounds. The overall profile is narrower than the minimalist Waypoint 2, so you can pitch the Airjet in tighter confines and on those rare flat ledges. Mountain Hardwear recently revised this airy backpacking tent with a reinforced pole design made from Atlas Scandium SL, a hard alloy built to withstand over 109,000-psi of intense pressure. This enhanced strength allows for thinner pole walls that reduce weight without compromising structural integrity. Vents along the perimeter and ceiling maintain air circulation, which is vital on warm evenings but can be a concern if you plan on pitching in a rainforest during monsoon season. You'll find the ceiling is an inch lower than the Waypoint 2, but the high arch is sustained over a greater space, resulting in more headroom than other Superlight series tents. Best of all, you have a vestibule and a free-standing design that weighs less than four pounds.
