North Face Hits a Homerun
By Justin Alvey
Ranked #1582 - 3-Season Tents
May 27, 2009
All I can say is that this is the best tent I have ever owned. I was somewhat skeptical that I was just buying a name like when I bought North Face shoes (they fell apart). This tent is a true performer. I just spent 8 days in this bad boy and it performed perfectly. I have the footprint for it. I went on a 3-day trip without the footprint and I would definitely recommend purchasing them together. The pole system looks hokey when you first see it, but you learn to love it! It is very easy to set up and take down. I like a bit of extra space and this gives it to you although, it is a bit heavy for long trips. For me it is worth the weight. It is strong in the wind and I got no water inside the tent at all. There is a lot of floor space in the vestibule but the rain flap takes the vertical space, but with both sides with doors, you can fit a lot of crap in there. A+
