"The North Face Bullfrog 23 Tent houses two of you in the backcountry from spring to fall. Ideal for your sweet spot at the campground and light enough to take backpacking, this tent offers versatility. The North Face Bullfrog's 15K-rated waterproof fly fends off spring rains and summer thunderstorms, and the water-resistant floor ensures your sleeping gear stays dry if the ground is damp. On bluebird days, take off the fly and let the breeze but not the bugs flow through this tent's mesh windows. If the breeze turns into a strong wind, stake down the freestanding Bullfrog 23 Tent."

"I bought this tent in Canada a couple of years ago and it has been terrific. Stands up well to snow and rain with plenty of ventilation. Adequate vestibule and enough room for two with room to spare. Overall a great tent for those looking for light weight and good workmanship. It's a pity they stopped making them, as they are one of the roomiest small tents around."

"Purchased used for $100 and could not be happier. The tent held up in snow, rain and ice for a 2.5 month trip to the Rockies. Had footprint which helped as well."

"Pros: The fly is free-standing even without the tent body, so you can take just the poles and fly for ultra-light camping. Good headroom and built-in vestibule. Three loops inside for a gear sling. Has excellent ventilation, yet has never leaked."

"Wonderful, I used it once a month and on two expeditions through my scouting experiences. It has always been there for me and has never let me down. With a warm sleeping bag you can use this tent for mild winter conditions."

"Similar to North Face Lunarlight and Starfire -- Bullfrog not in production anymore. Tremendous ventilation with mesh on all four sides, also helps keep condensation low with fly on. Many tie downs available with fly combined with low design promote great stability even in high winds."
