"When it comes to luxury camping for the whole family, look no further. The Trailhead 6 sleeps six adults comfortably, and features two integrated roll-down dividers that creates three separate rooms; ideal for separating the kids from each other, or from you. This roomy tent is equipped with a front vestibule, so the whole family can store their dirty hiking shoes under the protection of the tent without contaminating living quarters."

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."

"I have to say I'm a bit nonplussed by the other reviews here so far. I've owned a North Face Nebula for 10 years and the overall quality is very high for both tents. The floor material is exactly the same in both Nebula and T6 and I've never had a problem with my dogs (large lab and small terrier) ripping the floor in either one."

"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).
