The EV 2 tent is Mountain Hardwear’s newest and probably strongest, lightest high altitude mountaineering shelter. It’s a single wall design for mountaineering. This new line of breathable tents are becoming more the norm for winter mountaineering, where warm & weight count.

The reinforced non-stretch single wall design keeps the tent light for you, and sturdy enough to withstand any winter weather. The single wall design is reinforced by a system of non-stretch VX-02 3-ply fabric trusses that resist pole deformation caused by weather and movement by holding the tent’s poles in a stable arch.

While most tents are made of fabric that stretches, increasing the stress on poles, the EV 2’s fabric and design reinforces the poles’ strength. The EV 2’s trim floor design allows for easy placement on narrow ledges and snow platforms.

It’ll be interesting to see where single wall goes next, and how popular will it become?
