Gear Review
Unbelievably light and easy to pitch
By Fat ride!
August 23, 2004
The Tadpole has been serving me faithfully for nearly 3 years now and its predecessor the bullfrog, nearly 10! This is one of the most tried and true designs in 3 season tents on the market today. The North Face has been using this geometry for 12-15 years very successfully. I am able to pitch the tent in minimal time and enjoy all of the benefits of a sub 5 pound tent. What can I say, The North Face takes it again!
