The North Face Tadpole 23 Bx Tent: 2-Person 3-Season
I'm in love

Ranked #228 - 3-Season Tents

Used it on Froze to Death plateau this past August and it easily withstood 40 mph winds, sleet, rain and snow. I was kind of nervous that the tent wouldn't hold up but after 5 minutes in the storm I realized we were fine. Not a single drop of water inside the tent.....that goes for windy nights or calm nights. I could write a book to you about how well built it is and how easy it is to set up but I'll let the other posts on here do that. Might be a little small if you have two bigger people but we fit two 5'10" people in it comfortably. You won't regret this purchase.
