Why We Like The Strato UL 2 Tent
We keep it light and luxurious on the trail with Mountain Hardwear's Strato UL 2 Tent. It weighs a little over two pounds for an easier time on the trail, and it packs small for an easier time packing. The massive floor space lets us sprawl out for unrestricted slumbering before continuing toward the summit. On rainy days, we use the undyed, see-through fly to place bets on which raindrop will roll to the ground first.

Nice little tent.
I’m giving it four stars for a few reasons. 1 please include the footprint with the tent. 2 the tent steaks are not the greatest, yes they are light but if I’m on a boating trip I’m bring better ones. I have used this already on a backpacking trip and boating trips. It’s nice and light it’s just right for ONE person. I do wish the door open wider. After my last trip the rain fly is no longer white thanks to the wind, once again I don’t trust the steaks (maybe make them a little longer, if I didn’t use rocks on top of steaks that night my tent would not be here any more). It’s great for backpacking it packs down so small besides the poles.

Get This Tent!
Great Tent! Some reviews discussed difficulty setting up I have used 4 times and think once you know what you are doing I can set up ~ 8 min. My fav features are the two doors on each side, the reflective features and space. This tent feels like a two person palace with the head space. I dont plan on sharing with a person but if I did there is ample room for two people in there. I had no issues with condensation the nights I used it. I have not been in a rainstorm yet so I cannot speak to that. I am not a fan of the tent stakes so I have switched to MSR ones. Packs up small and got on sale! I am happy!

Crazy light, true 2p tent
The pitching instructions are terrible and the setup is a bit fiddly, but those are really the only bad things I have to say about the tent. This is a true 2 person tent with 2 doors and vestibules that will fit 2 regular 25in sleeping pads. You really need to go to a single wall trekking pole tent to get any lighter for a tent this size. The tub height is also rather generous for a tent in this weight class. Like I said the setup is a bit fiddly, but it's not really that significant an issue. Maybe takes an extra 30 seconds to a minute to setup and take down vs a more traditional tent. A couple more things about the tent that are "meh". The seamed floor...might be an issue, might not be, but I'd rather not have to worry about it with a one piece floor. The stuff sack is just a drawstring style that won't stay closed, I replaced it with a roll top. Overall a hard tent to beat in this size and weight class. Not perfect, but nothing at this weight or under is, and I think it's less compromised than it's competitors.

So impressed!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Last week, I took this tent on its first trip. We went backpacking in Joshua Tree NP and the wind was intense. The temperature dropped each time the wind picked up and it got cold! This tent was so impressive. The wind kept up for both nights and the tent was able to take it. Set up was simple, things made sense (I appreciate that!), it is super lightweight (which is why I bought it in the first place), and it was roomy enough for us 2 women to comfortably hang out for hours (hiding from the wind) and sleep comfortably. The material was kinda loud when it was getting blown around (I didn't have my earplugs) and the size was perfect for us but I could imagine a bigger, taller person might feel squished. I am feeling good about spending the money on the tent for my trip, and I'll report on its durability after I use it for a few decades!

Light, but flimsy
The tent was very light and packed small, but the zipper on the rainfly broke the first night I used it. Mountain Hardware made things right with a free return, but I expected more from the tent. In their quest to shave weight, I think they made this a bit too flimsy. Also, I did not like how the interior zipper was in two parts, and required two hands to operate it—one to hold the base of the zipper and one to unzip it. You had to unzip the horizontal zipper, then the vertical zipper, then the rainfly. It was really a process to get in and out of this tent.

Solid ultralite tent
Great quality in a discount price. Its my first ultralite tent, waterproof surface feel excellent and all details are top quality. Except the floor should be one piece instead of two for durability.
