About this product

The Mountain Hardwear Mineral King is a 2-person backpacking tent designed to keep the outdoors in view even when you are sheltered inside. A full mesh upper canopy promotes airflow and allows unobstructed sightlines, while the adaptable fly rolls back and secures halfway for stargazing or shade depending on conditions. Two large doors and two full-size dry-entry vestibules with top vents make coming and going comfortable in wet weather, and the symmetrical rectangular floor plan supports a head-to-toe sleeping configuration that maximizes space for both occupants. Pre-bent DAC Pressfit poles improve interior livable volume, and the hubbed cross-pole architecture keeps pitching straightforward. Five interior pockets handle gear organization. Construction uses a 75D plain weave polyester body, 68D 210T ripstop polyester fly and floor (both rated to 1500mm), and a 40D polyester mesh canopy, with all seams taped for waterproof integrity. The lightweight bathtub-style floor adds a further layer of moisture protection. Packed weight is 2,278 g (5 lb 0.4 oz), and a footprint is included.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 2 for its generous interior space, impressive headroom, and livability for a 2-person tent. The nearly full-mesh canopy earns repeated compliments for stargazing and ventilation, and the large dual doors are a standout feature for easy entry and exit. Setup is a recurring highlight, with the pre-bent DAC poles and clip system allowing quick, intuitive pitching even solo. The included footprint adds perceived value. The most common complaint is weight, with most reviewers noting it is better suited to car camping or shared backpacking loads than solo backpacking. A secondary criticism is that the footprint alignment can be fiddly, and the included stakes are considered underwhelming for high-wind conditions.
