The Nature Shop have sent me one of their Mountain Hardwear tents to take a peek at…

The LightPath 2 Tent is a fairly easy to pitch tent – using a unique system of hooking the fly and inner sheets together takes a moments thought, but once understood it’s actually very easy and never forgotten, meaning the Lightpath goes up quick, even in nasty weather.

Mountain Hardwear have designed the tent as a lightweight option, perhaps for wild or backpack camping. The tent weighs approximately 1.8kg, so split between two people you’ll appreciate the lightweight design features. There is even a “Superlight” option which pitches the fly only with an optional extra Pitch Light footprint, the packed tent then only weighs 1.4kg.

Features:

• Atlas 7001 UL pole system is lightweight, strong, and durable
• Vestibule design creates a dry entry into tent
• Proprietary Evolution Tension Arch stabilises tent using fewer poles
• One mesh door with dual-slider zipper for easy entry and exit
• Clear SVX window is UV-resistant, providing a view and extra light
• Reflective starter point and guy-out loops for easy set-up at night
• Gear can be stored in canopy storage pockets
• Superlight buckles and webbing
• Color coded pole loops for easy set up
