The North Face Spectrum 33 Tent 3-Person 3-Season
A small, cramped, wet experience.

Ranked #218 - 3-Season Tents
February 5, 2008
It would probably not be a bad tent for one person in a dry environment. This three person tent held two, but we were very cramped. Then during a late night thunderstorm we found that water seeped through the lower seams. This is a lightweight tent with no rainfly, so water also seeped in anywhere something touched the tent material from the inside. Since the interior was rather cramped our bags were naturally touching the walls of the tent, and guess what.... I'd choose something besides the Spectrum 33.I will add that this site's customer service in resolving this has been excellent!
