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. It packs down to 6 by 24 inches and has a packed weight of approximately 6 lbs 8 oz (2,268 g verified), while a minimum trail weight of 5 lbs 7.9 oz keeps it manageable on multiday trips. The rectangular floor measures 88 by 54 inches, delivering 33 square feet of sleeping area for two, with a 43-inch peak height that makes sitting up comfortable. Two pre-bent 9 mm DAC Pressfit poles create a symmetrical interior, and the hubbed cross-pole architecture simplifies setup. A full mesh upper canopy promotes ventilation and open sightlines, while the rainfly uses 68-denier ripstop polyester with a 2,000 mm polyurethane coating for reliable rain protection. Two large doors each open to an 18.75-square-foot dry-entry vestibule, and the fly can be rolled back halfway for stargazing. Five interior pockets, the proprietary HangTight gear-hanging system, and a bathtub-style seam-taped floor round out the feature set. 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 large dual doors that make it feel unusually livable for a 2-person tent. The nearly full-mesh canopy earns repeated compliments for stargazing potential and ventilation, with users noting minimal condensation issues. Setup is a standout strength, with pre-bent DAC poles, color-coded clips, and a simple hub system allowing one person to pitch it in just a few minutes. The included footprint is widely appreciated as a value-added bonus that many competing tents skip. The most common criticism is weight, with reviewers noting it is better suited to car camping or shared backpacking loads than solo backcountry trips. A few users flag that the footprint does not align perfectly with the tent body, and the included stakes are considered inadequate for high winds. Some find the fly difficult to adjust so it clears the inner mesh.
