About this product
The Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 3 is a freestanding, three-season backpacking tent designed to sleep three people across a 42.5-square-foot floor measuring 90 by 68 inches. Its minimum trail weight of 6 lbs. 10.8 oz. (packed weight approximately 2,722 g) keeps it manageable on multiday backcountry trips. Two pre-bent DAC Pressfit 9 mm poles create a hubbed, symmetrical architecture that improves interior livable space up to a 48-inch peak height, while the full mesh upper canopy promotes ventilation and open sightlines. Two large doors each lead to a full-size dry-entry vestibule, together adding 20.9 square feet of gear storage space. The rainfly uses 68-denier ripstop polyester with a 2,000 mm polyurethane coating, and the bathtub-style floor pairs 68-denier 210T ripstop polyester with a 1,500 mm polyurethane treatment, with all seams taped for waterproof construction. Five interior pockets and the proprietary HangTight internal gear-hanging system add organization. A matching footprint, made from 100% recycled 75-denier polyester taffeta, is included. The tent is free of flame-retardant chemicals.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 3 for its exceptionally fast, solo-friendly setup, crediting the pre-bent DAC Pressfit poles and clip system for pitches that routinely take under five minutes. The nearly full-mesh canopy earns repeated compliments for ventilation, stargazing, and the rollback fly feature. Build quality, including a tough 68D polyester fly and floor, is widely called a standout for the price, and the included footprint is seen as a genuine value-add. The most common criticisms are the low 48-inch peak height, which forces taller campers to crouch, and the fact that guyline stakes are not included. Several reviewers also note the tent is snug for a true three-person group, working best for two adults with gear. A few users flag that the semi-transparent fly lets in early morning light.
