The story of my VE 24-25:

I bought a VE 24 (precursor of the VE 25) in 1986 after my tent was blown off a ridge in the Italian mountains. We camped in a heavy storm with lots of other tents (80!) at the Midi (Chamonix): only the VE's survived. I camped a total of 30 weeks in winter: no problems. They exchanged the bottom for free. In 2001 the tent blew away and fell 600 metres. Only the outer hull was damaged.

Luckily North Face found a spare VE 25 cover. Now it's a VE 25!

We still go camping.
