I have been looking for a lightweight single wall summit tent for some time, and finally after a good bit of research settled on the Rab Latok Mountain 2. My main reasoning for choosing this tent was the size (just enough extra room over the Mountain Hardwear Direkt 2 and the MSR Advance Pro 2) as well as it being made from EVent fabric. I have now used it once, for two nights, and wanted to give my initial impressions here.

The tent seems super well made, with no extra details or frills. The weight comes in at just over 4lbs, which for me seems pretty reasonable. The room inside is noticeably bigger than other summit/bivy tents that I have slept in, specifically the Direkt 2 which seemed to have no extra room to roll over. Two average size people in the Rab fit well, with room for a little gear and you can sit up fully in the middle. Tie downs seem sturdy and able to withstand a pretty good storm when properly guyed out. I have experienced condensation in summit tents before and expected some here as well, but both mornings we awoke with zero water on the walls of the tent. This could in part be due to the EVent, but in full disclosure we did have the door vented a good couple inches all night due to mellow temps.

I'm looking forward to spending more nights in this tent, am very happy with it overall, and would certainly recommend it for anybody looking for something similar.

the problem i have with rab latok mountain 2 tent is that it is very cold inside, i feel like there is no barrier between me inside the tent and outside, for example if outside temperature is -10 c inside would be -8, probably this is because of the high breath-ability of the event wall, unlike nylon wall tents , nylon wall will keep inside tent much warmer and you control the condensation via available vents.  I used the tent twice in winter mountaineering in an 3600 meter mountain, we camped at altitude 3000 meter. and I still get a lot of
