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

Ranked #20 - 3-Season Tents
August 1, 2008
I've been using this tent for a year now, mountaineering in the Andes, close to Aconcagua(will be right there next summer).
It's totally amazing, no stabilizing strings at all, and it's seriously unbelievable stable, I've spent some nights where I was scared to stay out because of the wind, IT WAS RAGING out there, the tent didn't even feel the stress.
Condensation might be a problem in humid places though, it's very dry here and I still get some condensation in the morning.
In my opinion perfect for high altitude expeditions, I've used it over the snow many times without any problems.
It's also really light, you can use this solo without excessive overweight.
Only one complain: no pockets, just one next to your feet, which is not really useful.
