Sometimes the North Face VE 25 Tent is listed as a 3 man and sometimes it says a 4 man. I need to know how many it holds. Thanks J

My definition is that a 3-person expedition tent is really a 2-person tent in that you really want a little elbow room in the tent because sometimes you're stuck in them until the weather clears. And that could mean days!! In an emergency, they could hold as many as 5 or 6 if needed.

3 is comfy, 4 is doable. We've had 6 guys in this thing at camp 3 (8300m) on Everest's north face.

On a recent trip, we slept 3 (2 guys,1 girl...each about 5' 10" tall, 170lbs) shoulder to shoulder, comfortably. However, in my opinion, this tent would be extremely uncomfortable (almost impossible) for 4. I've never seen it listed for 4 and would strongly discourage the attempt. 4-season, yes, 4-person, no.

It's 104 inches across. If you sleep three people that's about 32 inches apiece, with four people it's 26 inches. 26 inches is a little tight, and you'll have no room whatsoever for gear. The North Face website lists it as a 3-man, But here's my advice: I uploaded a drawing of the tent's footprint with measurements. Recreate it on the floor with masking tape, then get some people and gear to lay in it and see what you think.
