I've had this tent for 3 years now. I think I got the first version available. Not sure what changes have been made to the 08 & 09 versions. Mine is perfect in every way.
Typical of North Face, they think of little things. It has mega pockets and lantern hangers. Fast and simple to set up. Rugged, durable construction. We have 40+ days in ours now and love it. Wouldn't change a thing.
We are a family of 4 and it has plenty of space for us. I can't imagine having 8 in it, but if you wanna snuggle I guess you could!
Excellent airflow and great sealing. We get air during the day and close up tight at night. We typically camp in alpine areas where night temps are in the late 30's or low 40's.
Again, great product. I expect to have it for another 10 years.
