Description
The Mont Moondance 2 Tent has been designed to provide you with 3 season weather protection, lightning-fast setup, minimum packed size and the lowest possible weight without sacrificing performance. The new Moondance 2 Tent is the best lightweight, 2 person tent for hikers, bikers and adventure travellers in 3 seasons.
The current Moondance 2 Tent comes with the following improvements over previous models:
- Increase in internal width, 130cm wide and 220cm long
- Improved livable space thanks to wider ridge pole and aforementioned greater width
- New stronger 20 denier inner canopy Nylon from previously used 15 denier
- Improved and enlarged inner doors allow easier access
- New internal pockets are larger and stronger: two extra-large full-width pockets, two large half-width pockets
- New 20 denier rainfly fabric, previously 30 denier, is lightweight but has the same tear strength thanks to increased threadcount and improved PU coating treatment
- Now includes 10 pegs compared to previous models with 8 pegs
Mont Moondance Tents feature a lightweight 25,000mm+ WaterBloc™ PU laminated Nylon floor. 25,000mm+ waterhead: that is more than twice the waterhead of any other tent on the market (and ten to twenty times the waterhead of some of them!).
With a wider rectangle floor and wider ridge pole the new Moondance 2 tent has greater livable space and a larger internal floor area of 2.86m2.
All Mont Tents are sold fully seam-sealed, waterproof and ready for rain straight out of the box. There is no need to seam seal your new Mont tent.

DAC BRAND POLES
All Mont tents use DAC poles. DAC poles are selected for their high strength, exceptionally low weight, precision engineering and for DAC’s market-leading environmental standards. DAC have been leaders in tent pole technology since 1991.
SURPRISINGLY SPACIOUS
With a rectangle floor, long central pole and wide ridge pole the Moondance 2 tent has a large internal floor area of 2.86m2 and plenty headroom all around.
25,000MM WATERHEAD FLOOR
This Mont Tent has a 25,000mm waterhead Nylon floor for superior protection in wet weather. Many competitor tents have only a 5000mm waterhead and some as low as 1200mm! With waterhead ratings as low as these, the pressure of you sitting in your tent can cause water to soak through from the wet ground!
Most tents on the market use Poly-Urethane (PU) coating to waterproof their tent floors. This Mont tent uses Thermoplastic-Poly-Urethane (TPU) Lamination which is a far superior form of waterproofing. TPU is more durable, more resistant to chemical damage (sunscreen, oils, insect repellent etc), and is almost impervious to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis results in a permanent and irreparable de-lamination between the PU and the Nylon fabric; the floor is no longer waterproof. Laminated TPU floors are lighter, more waterproof and more durable than Coated PU floors.
INTERNALLY ACCESSIBLE VENTILATION
Vents in a tent fly are very important to minimise condensation and to regulate air flow and temperature. Access to these vents from inside the tent is just as important particularly in poor weather; having to climb out of the tent in heavy rain to open or close the vents is not fun!
All Mont tents have vents in the fly that can be accessed from inside the tent. Mont tents with full-Nylon interiors also have large window vents in the doors for greater ventilation.
3 POINT ATTACHMENT GUY CORDS
Quick, easy and only requiring one peg! Three point attachment guy cords hold the tent steady anchoring the tent by 3 reinforced points. When not in use a hook, loop and toggle system holds guy cords neatly and prevents tangling.

2 PIECE POLE SYSTEM
Mont Moondance Tents use extremely strong and very lightweight 2-piece DAC Featherlite NSL pole systems. This pole system is incredibly easy to use and all Moondance tents can be set up easily and quickly even if you’re on your own. DAC Featherlite NSL poles are selected for their exceptionally low weight, precision engineering, high strength and for DAC’s market-leading environmental standards.
SEAM SEALED, WATERPROOF & READY FOR RAIN
All Mont tents are sold tape-seam-sealed, waterproof and ready for rain. A clear polyurethane seam sealing tape is applied using a specialist machine at an exact speed, pressure and temperature. Mont seam sealing is lightweight, durable and totally waterproof. Seam sealing is essential to make a tent waterproof.
