The North Face Minibus 3 Tent: 3-Person 3-Season
Luxurious, High Quality, but a little too heavy.
By Shawn D.
Ranked #657 - 3-Season Tents
August 17, 2009
Pros:
So the Tent is Super Nice. There's plenty of head room to sit or even stand on your knees. It's also Long enough for those of you who are 6'5"... but it probably would be a tight fit for three 250lb men... The design is very cool, and the fabrics are Super High Quality!
Cons:
A little flimsy in the wind, weighs about 7.5 lbs, doesn't include enough stakes to tie guylines.
Overall It's a Great tent for 2 large people of 3 mid-sized people :)
