The North Face Spectrum 23 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Item #TNF1976 | 5 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Not that impressed

By Backcountry.com Employee May 2, 2008

While it's super easy to setup and very light, there are some drawbacks.
If you camp in a dusty area, be prepared to wake up covered in sand as it's impossible to seal the doors completely.
My tent has 2 doors, not 1, which maybe due to different versions from North Face, so the wind will blow straight through.
This might be ok for summer, but you'll need a good sleeping bag for colder conditions.
It's more of a 2-season tent.
