The best tent I have ever owned
I have purchased many tents over the years and without question this is the best. It is very easy to setup and roomy. The vestibules are awesome. I do at least one week long backpack in the High Sierra’s each year and can normally count on being wacked with a severe rain or snow storm on each one regardless of the time of year. This tent works great since I purchased it in 2003. The weight is a the only downside and it would be great if it was 2 -3 pounds lighter. However that would mean sacrificing some of the features that make this a great tent. For the last couple of years I have thought about going with a lighter weight tent but just bring myself to part with this tent. Great job Mountain Hardware!

Stood against 6'' with ease
I have no clue why they don't call this a below treeline 4 season tent. I have slept great during a 6 inch overnight snowfall with no problem. I have no reservations bringing this one out in the 4th season.
In summer it rocks even harder and I have full control over how warm the tent is because of the zip up screens. Setup is simple with only 1 person working on it. Mountain Hardware really struck gold with this one.

SolidThe Hammerhead 2 is ridiculously roomy for a 2 person tent and long enough for tall folk. I'm 6' 3" and have plenty of room to spare. The vestibules are huge and have more than enough room for my pack, shoes/boots, and other scattered gear. I also love the convertable mesh-nylon roof and rear window. It keeps me warm and keeps the wind out when I need it, and lets me gaze at the stars as I fall asleep when the weather is good. I have an older model and it doesn't have the convertable side windows. Several times I've thought to myself... I wish I could see out this side window (seriously) so I'm glad Mountain Hardware finally added the side window. This thing does great in the worst of conditions too, the rain fly works perfectly and it has resists wind very well.
Now here's the catch... the thing isn't exactly a light weight tent. For me, the extra 2-3 pounds has been worth it though. Other negatives? nope... can't think of any.
