Mountain Hardwear AC 2 Tent 2-Person 4-Season

Lightweight AC 2 Tent for alpine backpacking in all seasons

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The AC 2 Tent is a dream for alpine backpacking. It´s light enough to carry on long approaches yet tough enough to handle unpredictable mountain weather. I love the Evolution Tension Arch—it adds serious stability in storms without adding bulk."

The Mountain Hardwear AC 2 Tent strikes the perfect balance between weight and weather protection, making it a favorite for alpine adventures. At just three pounds, this lightweight 4-season tent is ideal for winter camping, mountaineering, or any high-elevation pursuit where packability is essential. Its ripstop fabric and waterproof coatings keep us dry through snowstorms, while the innovative Evolution Tension Arch stabilizes the tent for extra security when conditions get rough.

Designed with usability in mind, the AC 2 features a full-wall door for easy access and mesh panels to optimize airflow in warmer weather. Thoughtful additions like guy-out points, reflective accents, and interior pockets make this tent as functional as it is protective. Whether we´re summiting a peak or chasing powder, the AC 2 is built to keep us comfortable and safe.
