User Review: The North Face Tadpole 23

Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars
Design: three-season
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Easy
Price Paid: $169

I just got back from spending five days in the North Cascades here in Washington State. I had just bought the Tadpole from REI for this occasion. On the first night we had heavy rains and 2" of snow. The tent leaked badly.

When I got back, I called REI and they said to return the tent, I will. I was brand loyal to TNF and had heard they had problems but had cleared them up. Obvious to me they lack in quality. I won't be buying their tents any longer.
