TREKKING GEAR
TENTS AND SLEEPING BAGS THAT ENDURED THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO-AND FOUR OTHER CLIMATIC ZONES.
MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR MUIR TRAIL For a four-pole convertible tent, the Muir Trail packs surprisingly efficiently and weighs only a smidgen more than six pounds. And there's little question about which poles go where when setting it up, which is especially helpful during a sleet storm. The vestibule can house two big packs and there's enough room in the tent for sleeping bags, pads and daypacks. This tent is strongly recom- mended for heavy snow conditions at the summit, muggy nights at sea level and everything in between.
