User Review: The North Face Spectrum 23

The North Face Spectrum 23
Above: The current Spectrum 23, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Design: ultralight
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: very easy
Weight: 4lb 3oz (footprint not incl)
Price Paid: $259

This tent is a sauna. Not recomended for humid climates or hot summer nights. The floor will soak up water from moist ground, so the not-included footprint is a must (add weight). Two therm-a-rests will overlap at the bottom and no room for extra gear. The sidewalls and roof collect lots of condensation, even with front door open. Great design, super light and small, but lacking in ventilation. Will return for Vector 22 or Tadpole 23.
