The North Face Bullfrog 23 2-Person 3-Season

Item #TNF2663 | 0 in Stock

Why is the smaller Bullfrog 23 at "23 s.f." more expensive...

By Ranked #423 - 3-Season Tents March 30, 2008

Why is the smaller Bullfrog 23 at "23 s.f." more expensive than the Tadpole 23 at "35 s.f."? Weight difference shows the Bullfrog is lighter by 2 oz and uses the same fabrics: 40D 240T canopy, 33D 244T fly, 79D 210T floor. Does the Bullfrog simply have less mesh and more tent solid body for 4-season warmth?

Good question. Both are 3-season tents. The difference is in the poles. The Bullfrog uses the more expensive DAC Featherlite NSL Reverse Combi 7001 Aluminum & the tadpole uses the standard Dac FeatherLite 7001 Aluminum.
