The North Face Rock 22 Bx Tent: 2-Person 3-Season
Awesome Tent
By Michael Facciolo
Ranked #800 - 3-Season Tents
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.
