The North Face Rock 22 Bx Tent 2-Person 3-Season - 2008

The North Face Rock 22 Tent is a simple backpacking tent for two. Two-pole support and continuous sleeves ensure easy pitching after a long day on the trail. DAC 7001-T6 aluminum poles are incredibly strong, and with no inserts, they are less susceptible to failure. Comes complete with a compression stuffsack to keep loads small and tight. As with all The North Face tents, fly-only pitching adds the freedom of under-the-stars camping and insurance against that random rain shower. Match the Rock 22 Tent with the Rock 22 Footprint.

Bottom Line: Backpacking simplicity at its finest...for two!

Awesome Tent

By:
November 3, 2008

This tent has a ton of great features that make it such a good design: two big vestibules with plenty of space for each person's gear, two doors so you're not climbing over each other, two poles so it sets up in five minutes, high seams to keep out water, four small pockets inside for storage.

This tent handles rain, wind, and ice really well. The poles are thicker than other backpacking tents so they hold up better in strong wind and rain. I would definitely get the matching footprint for extra durability, waterproofing, and longevity.

A simple tent serves the purpose

By:
June 4, 2008

We bought this tent on sale, 2007 model.

We just came back from a camping trip at Lake Tahoe in May, 2008. The night was cold and showering. The tent kept us dry and shield wind well.

The only design improvement should be the vestibule entry, which opened a little bit too high that water would drop in the tent in wet conditions. Otherwise, it is really good.

This tent sounds like the one for me. Dry and stable. I do week long backpacking trips and the only concern I have is the weight -- was considering the NF Vector 22 at 3#14ozs. Any suggestions

This tent (Rock 22) is better to me than the Vector 22 because of two main things:* The Rock 22 has two doors and vestibules.* The vestibules on the Rock 22 are 8sqft instead of 6sqftIf you're getting a tent for two people, I'd go with this one over the Vector 22. However, if you're mainly going to do solo backpacking (or at least solo sleeping), then I'd get this one.Hope that helps man.

That's what she said...

By:

6'3" ad 230. I have plenty of space and my dog can sleep out under the fly when it's dry out to keep other animals away while also staying warm. The ventilation isn't the best, and the poles could be a few inches shorter. I'd rather he pole bundles be fatter and shorter than longer and skinnier for packing purposes. *That's what she said* No, but seriously, I like the tent, expecially for the price and it's from a name you can trust.

Though I don't have personal experience, my Uncle does extreme ultralite backpacking and after years of use, a pole on his North Face Bullfrog broke. He contacted North Face, and though the Bullfrog was not in production at that time, they found the design and made him a pole free of charge.They will be more than happy to help!

Great

By:
August 28, 2008

I'm 6'2 and I could easily fit my gear and my big dog! plus i could put it up in the dark no problem. I had a pretty narly storm roll over with high winds, heavy wind and even some hail. I got to admit I had my doubts but it held up fantasic even without the footprint! I recommend it to anyone!

Solid tent

By:
November 28, 2008

Got this tent and used right away. I love the fact that I don't hit the ends. Being that I'm 6'5'' tents can be too short but this one isn't. With the fly on didn't have any condensation except on the fly. It light enough to backpack with and has plenty of space for two people with good space under the vestibules for all of your gear. Two doors are really nice. Recommend the footprint to save the bottom. Overall this is a great tent.

I'm a big Sierra Designs fan. I personally own two. I also have two older North Face tents which are no longer available. Most recently I purchased a Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL1 which I love for design, interior room, & stability. Your purpose should ultimately determine your selection, e.g. backpacking, ultralight backpacking, car camping, etc.

Rock 22

By:
November 9, 2008

Confused about clip/sleeve when I bought it. The spec box says it has sleeves but the picture showed clips, came with clips. The tent worked well enough on a clear night in the low 40s. Used the fly and had some venting and condensation problems but good enough tent overall. Plenty of room for two, adequate storage space uder the fly. Glad I bought it.

still the one

By: Backcountry.com Employee
October 2, 2008

Still my go-to favorite. I have an MSR hubba hubba too, but save that for when i really need the ultra light experience. This tent has served me well and i think it's the best design (two doors so you're not stepping on anyone to get out, two vestibules for each person's gear, pockets around the inside, simple two pole design). It has held up quite well in the rain too. Recently i was up in Idaho and it rained so hard it woke me up twice, but the fly stayed off the tent walls and everything inside was nice and dry.

Still Going Strong!

By:
December 15, 2008

As a Scout leader, I take it everywhere I go. Easy to set up, rugged (used it for 3 years)--no malufunctions yet. The rainfly ends don't stay taut and falls onto the mesh, so I made a slight modification and added loops in the middle so I can stake out the ends a little for more ventilation. Great price for a rugged tent!

Big Water Bug

By:
August 7, 2008

I am 6'4'' and I fit comfortably in this tent with my pack and gear. The Vestibules are HUGE. Plenty of room for two peoples gear. I was in the Great Smokey Mountains last night with a rain storm from you know where. I was totaly dry all night so was all my gear. The tent is a little heavy but my friend in his MSR Hubba got wet so I'll take the extra pound. Great Tent.
