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

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.

This tent handles pouring rain, wind and sleet very well. No leaks what-so-ever. There was only mild wetness on the mesh, but nothing major. I was also very warm for 10 degree weather. The only thing I felt was an anoyance was having to find the outside zipper as they don't really match up exactly with the inside ones. Also the weight is on the high side, and being a solo camper it is difficult to carry while backpacking, but if there are two people it shouldn't be a problem. A great tent that stands up to the weather.

If I camped in the backcountry as much as I wanted to, I would spring for a lighter tent. However, I do more base camping and day hiking, and this tent is rugged, easy to assemble and comfortable. I am 6'4, 250, and I have no problem sharing this tent with my 5'11 girlfriend with a bit of room to spare. Easily my best camping investment.

I've had this tent for a year now and have used it on several backpacking occasions, and I have to say it was worth the money hands down. Every trip that I have gone on it has rained. Most recently the tent withstood a storm cell that lasted over six hours. I literally felt the water run underneath my tent and to the side of my sleeping pad. No leakage! Mud was piled to the side of my tent in the morning. Only bad thing is not much ventilation when the fly is up, and the weight might be a factor for some. Looking for a beginner tent that's technically sound, cheap and easy to setup. This is your buy!!

Bought in 2005 used in BWCA. Only drawback is rain fly on both ends needs a tie-down to keep blowing/dripping rain away. I used two clothespins and a bungy to pull and stake so rain didn't drip/blow into tent. Great tent - fast setup - easy to use - light for backpack.

My only complaint is the weight. However, you can pack the tent and rain fly in two small stuff sacks and make your camp partner carry one. It sets up quicly, is warm, and has plenty of space for two adult men. When I head out with my girlfriend we have more than enough room. Sets up fast, fast, fast!

This was the first tent I have bought, so I am no expert. However, for the money I have been extremely satisfied with its performance. It is a tad bigger than most two-man tents and I love the dual entryways. (Good so you don’t have to climb over anyone to get in your sack.) Also the large dual-vestibules are killer. I took the rock out in the middle of a wind storm. Pitched it and staked down all the guy points, it stood firmly the whole night, even when my buddy’s tent was getting blown around. Also, I took it out during a heavy rain and thunderstorm, and I stayed completely dry and warm. A great buy.

If you're looking for a five-second tent, this little guy gets the job done. I have this tent for work -- so after 16+ hour days this tent = no worries. The vestibules are a nice size for dirty boots, firepack, and your favorite tool you don't want someone to steal.
