The North Face Vector 22 Tent - 2-Person 3-Season
One tent worth investing
By Anonymous
Ranked #217 - 3-Season Tents
May 20, 2005
This tent has a fine balance between living space to strength to weight ratio. I can easily put 2 25in Therm-a-rests side by side and I usually do, since my partner and I both prefer 25in. over 20in. pads. Weatherproofing is superb with all seams sealed and taped. I stayed dry in a 2 hour rain and had plenty of floor and headroom space to play cards. I experienced many "ultralight meltdowns" in the past, especially when it comes to the "ultralight fabrics" that are strong but not really durable (they have great tensile strength but don't stand up to the test of time very well) and being that just the fly seems to be really ultralight I'm sure it will give me years of loyal service.
The downside? Red color seems depressing on rainy days and pole sleeves take longer to setup than clips. However, they do give you a sturdier tent that can push it to the brink of 4 seasons.
