Mountain Hardwear Sojourn 2
I've had three Mountain Hardware tents over the years: an Airjet 3, a Pacific Coast Trail 1 (PCT1) and now a Sojourn 2.
I have to say, I loved the Airjet 3. Lightweight, single-walled tent with room for three plus a huge vestibule for gear. Some of the seams had been put together with an adhesive of some sort and they failed. At first I used my sailmaking skills to sew the seams back together but as the others failed, I decided to send it back for warranty work.
While I was waiting for that to get resolved and while I occasionally used my daughter's Eureka! Tetragon 5, I heard about a PCT1 in the neighborhood that had been used once. The price was right and since I generally camp solo, I bought it.
About the only thing I don't like about the PCT1 is that it's just a tad too short to sit up in and get dressed. Other than that, it's lightweight, got plenty of vestibule space and is pretty snazzy, too.
The quick brown fox jumped over the backyard tent. The quick brown fox jumped over the backyard tent. The quick brown fox jumped over the backyard tent. The quick brown fox jumped over the backyard tent.
After what seemed like a long time, Mountain Hardwear's customer support group gave me a call and told me the whole thing was covered and I'd get a credit for what a new Airjet 3 would have cost. Wow, that sounded pretty good.
Unfortunately, one can't touch a 3-man tent for that price anymore, so I ended up getting a 2-man Sojourn2 instead.
The Mountain Hardware folks were easy to get along with, didn't give me the third-degree questioning and simply said that they stand by their equipment, mine had failed and I'd get a new one. That speaks volumes with me and I'll be buying more from them in the future. (See my Tweet.)
Since Mountain Hardware doesn't seem to be selling these anymore, here's a link to Google where you can still (as of this writing) find some at REI, etc.
