Why this product

Why the CVT Mt. Hood Hardshell 56"?

The 56" Mt. Hood offers the same 3-plus-season upgrade as the 50" but with additional width. At 155 lbs for a 2-person tent it is on the heavier side, but you get that extra elbow room. If you already know you want a CVT hardshell and camp in cooler conditions, the Mt. Hood line is the right branch of their lineup.
