The North Face Tadpole 23 Bx Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Item #TNF3822 | 53 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Small and awesome!

By Backcountry.com Employee December 7, 2006

I'm a little guy, 5'6" about 125 lbs. I'm pretty sure the Tadpole 23 was made for me. It's really light weight, great for backpacking. The mesh ceiling is really nice too, it's makes stargazing on cold nights incredible. The shape is realy unique and it's easy to set up. I've slept me and buddy in there with plenty of room, don't let the small size fool you, there's a good amount of room. The vestibul is spacious, I've fit 2 packs and 2 pair of boots with room to spare for my stove. It's worked it all seasons, it even stood strong in a mid winter storm when my snow cave colapsed on me. This tent is a winner for sure.
