VE25 beneath an unnamed arctic peak - Brooks Range AK
By Todd Ligare
Ranked #286 - 4-Season Tents
August 5, 2010
I lived in this tent for four weeks this past June in the Arctic. We encountered most elements-snow, lots of rain, high winds, grizzly and this tent had no problem the entire time. Super easy to put up and pack with great features throughout. It is however pretty tight with four people, much more comfortable with three.
