From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face Trailhead 6 Tent is a roomy 6-person 3-season family camping tent that offers the versatility of a central common room and two separate sleeping quarters; key for keeping the kids from getting on each other's nerves-or yours. The Fusion Pitch system makes setting up the Trailhead a snap super important when the weather's closing in. It's built for use as family camping tent at your favorite surf break or as a base camp for multi-day mountain bike sessions in Moab. Two integrated roll down dividers create the separate sleeping compartments. Prayer-bound floor seams increase user space with clean angles, and color-coded canopy and flysheet webbing makes setting up the fly a snap before the rain starts to fall. Dual doors on the Trailhead 6 Tent minimize collisions when 6 people are coming and going from the Trailhead. Internal pockets and hang loops make organization easy."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Sized to sleep six adults and perfect for families of four, The North Face Trailhead 6 Bx Tent has two internal roll-down dividers that create three separate rooms. It's ideal for families of four (or six if the kids are young) because you can have the kids sleeping together on one side of the tent while the parents have their own separate area for staying up and reading (or in our case, playing World Cup soccer on their handheld portable video game systems). A front vestibule area keeps dirty boots sheltered and outside the tent while dual doors make it easier to exit the tent without disrupting the occupants in the high-ceiling common area. Rugged aluminum alloy poles with color-coded fly sheet attachments make assembly easy. The aluminum pole design gives the Trailhead 6 Bx a huge advantage over cheaper six-person camping tents that use flimsy fiberglass poles to save manufacturing costs. The other key advantage that the Trailhead 6 Bx has is in the massive and complete fly design. Many cheap camping tent designs come up short on fly coverage, and occupants usually find themselves in a breezy and damp situation on anything but the clearest and hottest days of the summer. The North Face created a weather ready 75-denier rain fly that completely covers the Trailhead 6 Bx, so you won't feel the breeze when the wind rustles through the tree canopy. The taped nylon floor has prayer-bound floor seams that increase the interior space without compromising the waterproof protection."

Reviewed by William Archer, May 08, 2008

"Last year after searching just about every tent on the internet, I decided to purchase a North Face Trailhead 6 man tent. I was very happy to have made the purchase at first especially because it was a North Face tent.

After I set the tent up at a campground in Northern Quebec Canada, I must say I was very disappointed at the color which was a sand color."

"Setup is easy, and matching footprint fits together very nicely. The interior space is awesome for a 6 man tent; It will sleep 6 people comfortably. Ventilation is good across the doors, but with the rail fly on and not taught via the additional guy ropes, ventilation via the side windows is blocked."

Reviewed by Max Mitchell, Nov 09, 2005

Tough fabric, rainproof, excellent stitching, classy room dividers, lots of ventilation, good headroom for averaged sized adult even in front vestibule, big enough to sleep six, lots of storage and hooks, poles average strength (bent some in high winds), pegs provided too short for many soils, dull greenish tan color inside, nicer light tan color for the full coverage fly, four guy ropes (could have more because tent catches lots of wind).
