From Campmor:
"THESE ARE MAIL ORDER RETURNS AND MAY BE SLIGHTLY SOILED. THEY HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND CARRY THE SAME WARRANTY AS A NEW TENT. GROUND SHIPMENTS ONLY. NO AIR DELIVERY. Based on one of the most popular 2 person tents in recent history The North Face decided to make a 3 person version. The Rock 32 is a 3 person, 2 door and 2 vestibule fairly light backpacking tent. Each vestibule has a scoop vent and the roof is all mesh for superb ventilation and stargazing possibilities. In addition the all clip design and color coded set-up get this tent up in a hurry. Sleeps 3. Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection. All clip design is fast and easy to set up and take down. Ripstop polyester full coverage fly is strong, durable and easy to put on. DAC Pressfit Aluminum poles are light without compromising strength. Scoop vent above each door provides excellent ventilation even in rain. Freestanding. Mesh gear pockets for internal storage. 2 Large 'D' shaped doors make it easy to get in and out of the tent. Color coded Fly makes set up simple and fast. Poles attach to tent body via locking pole tips and grommets for fast and easy set up. Ladder Lock buckles, used to attach fly to tent, provide adjustability. Multiple mesh panels improve ventilation amd allow for stargazing. #8 zippers with stainless steel sliders on fly and door. 2 large vestibules, 9 sq, ft. each are excellent for storing excess gear. Multiple guypoints for windy conditions. Attached guylines included. Fly Only Pitch - use fly, poles and optional groundsheet to make an ultralight shelter, weighs only 4 lbs 15 oz. Flashlight loop. Stuff bag included. Pole and stake bags included. Fire retardant. Import."

From Backcountry.com:
"You don't need a PhD in tent-pitching to set up The North Face Rock 32 Bx Tent. Which is awesome, because no school offers such a degree, so you usually get stuck wrestling with it at the campsite (which is such a drag when you just want to make dinner). Thanks to a simple two-pole design, setup is a snap. You'll also dig the tent's two doors and double vestibules-they come in handy when you're lodging up to three adults in one tent. Internal pockets and hang loops provide easy spots to hang your headlamp and stash your beanie. This tent weighs very little for a three-person getup, but if you want to go extra-light, you can set it up with just the rainfly."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"A classic X-frame tent that sleeps three adults comfortably, The North Face Rock 32 Bx Tent is a durable base camp tent that remains a favorite among backpackers due to its lightweight, two-door, two-pole design. Newly enhanced for this spring with larger vestibules and added ventilation, the Rock 32 tent also features color-coded poles, canopy, and fly for easy set up."

"I don't see how you could find a better 3 person 3 season under $200. I bought last year's model in green.

No issues at all! However, like all 3 person tents, it's really only good for 2 people if you use sleep pads.
It's light. Sets up in seconds."

"Everything else was good until it rained and the tent leaked. Other than that, the tent was easy to set up and the two-door design was very good."

"Just got this tent two months ago and I have loved it since I set it up in my living room. Very sexy design, but that was just a bonus.

I really like the strong poles it comes with and the ease of setting it up (5 minutes). I have always had help but it could be done with one person instead of two."
