About this product

The Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 2 is a freestanding, 3-season backpacking tent designed to balance livable comfort with trail-worthy weight. At a packed weight of 2,278 grams (roughly 5 lbs. 7.9 oz. minimum trail weight) and a packed size of 6 by 24 inches, it suits multiday trips without dominating a pack. The rectangular, symmetrical floor measures 88 by 54 inches for 33 square feet of sleeping area, while a 43-inch peak height keeps the interior from feeling cramped. Two pre-bent DAC Pressfit poles and a hubbed cross-pole design improve interior volume and simplify setup. A full mesh upper canopy promotes ventilation and open sightlines, and the rainfly (68-denier ripstop polyester with a 2,000 mm polyurethane coating) rolls back partway for stargazing or shade. Two large doors open onto full-size dry-entry vestibules totaling 18.75 square feet of gear storage. The 1,500 mm coated bathtub floor and seam-taped construction provide reliable rain protection, and five interior pockets plus the proprietary HangTight system keep the space organized. A recycled-polyester 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.
