      Mountain Hardwear Optic 2.5 Tent - REVIEW

      Mountain Hardwear Optic TentImagine a full 48” (122cm) of head room, two huge panels that zip away to give you unobstructed 180 degree views, and 37 square feet (3.4m2) of interior space. More of a nylon palace than a cramped shoebox, the Optic Vue 2.5 tent by Mountain Hardwear makes lounging around drinking your morning camp coffee inside the tent a truly enjoyable experience. Thanks to Mountain Hardwear, gone are the days of rushing out of the stuffy too-small rabbit den that I used to call my backpacking tent to drink my coffee outside. With rave customer reviews and a handful of awards and nods from the gear industry, the Optic 2.5 has made camping more enjoyable for a lot of people, myself included.

       

      Read the full review of the Mountain Hardwear Optic 2.5 Tent here.

      I found there to be a major design flaw in this tent. In order to close the rain doors, you need to open the screen doors, thereby allowing all the bugs to come in. Other than that, I love it. However, this flaw is so big that it's enough to change tents for me here in bug country.
