The North Face Mountain Tent is a bomber tent. It can be tricky to set it up as the poles stretch the tent body as tight as a drum and some brute force is needed to get all the poles into their grommets!

This tent has plenty of space, a big vestibule, and tons of points to anchor and guy down the fly. The circular doors are great. The tent is yellow, which actually makes it quite cheery inside. Construction is solid and the tent has withstood heavy rain, heavy snow, and heavy winds.

This is a heavy tent, but it is incredibly solid.

The first time I used it I didn't realize that seam sealant needs to be added to all points where guylines are attached to the fly. Oops!
