There's no more comforting sight than finishing a long approach to base camp and finding a Mountain Hardwear Space Station Tent standing proudly in the crisp alpine air. Whether it's used as a base of operations, dining hall, medical tent, or housing, the 15-person capacity of the iconic domed tent offers luxurious space in places where luxury is hard to come by. The tough nylon tent material is coated with multiple polyurethane and silicon layers that are designed to keep us sheltered as the mountains around us create their own weather, and 15 industry-leading DAC PressFit poles stand their ground as gale force winds send rip through our campsite. Simply put, this tent was designed for the rigors of high-alpine mountaineering expeditions.
