North Face Tents
What is North Face?
The North Face is an outdoor product manufacturing company,
specializing in products like jackets, tents, fleece wear,
luggage, and shoes started by Douglas Tompkins in 1966. Their
clothing and equipment lines are specifically aimed towards
climbers, mountaineers, skiers, snowboarders, and hikers.
Mr. Tompkins sold the business in 1968, and The North Face is
now a wholly owned subsidiary of the VF Corporation, one of the
World's largest apparel companies, owning leading brand names
such as Wrangler, Lee Jeans, Riders, Rustler, Brittania etc.
North manufactures three main types of tents: Expedition,
3-season and Ultralight tents.
North Face Expedition Tents:
North Face Expedition Tents include the 2 Meter Dome, Himalayan
47, Expedition 36, VE 25 and Mountain 25. All these tents are
constructed with Waterproof Flysheet technology - Polyurethane
coating, hot-sealed seams with polyurethane tape, and welded
Velcro strips on fly attached to poles for added stability.
Except for the 2 Meter Dome, they also come with a polyurethane
window, cold crack tested to 60°F. Price ranges from $400 to
$5000.
The 2 Meter Dome tent offers maximum space and wind resistance,
mainly intended for expedition activities. Features include dual
doors, interior canopy loops, 420 denier nylon taffeta floor,
and 210 denier nylon Oxford canopy. It is the most expensive
North Face tent.
The Himalayan 47 is designed for resistance against weather
conditions such as high winds or heavy snow. Features include
dual doors with dual vestibules, compression stuffsack, internal
pockets, internally adjustable zippered vents with mesh screens,
reflective guyline loops, guylines and glow-in-the-dark zipper
pulls, etc.
The Expedition 36, VE 25 and Mountain 25 are specifically
designed for high wind resistance. Their features include most
of the Himalayan 47 features such as dual doors with dual
vestibules (for the Mountain 24, a front vestibule), internally
adjustable zippered vents with mesh screens, reflective guyline
loops, internal pockets, etc.
The
Himalayan 47, Expedition 36 and Mountain 25 all come with 70
denier 210T nylon taffeta floors, and 40 denier 240 T nylon
ripstop canopies.
North Face 3-Season Tents:
North Face 3-Season Tents include Trailhead 8/6/4, Merlin 33,
Petrel 23, Roadrunner 22, Bug 23, Rock 22 and Talus 23, with
price ranging from $180 to $400.
The Trailhead series come with 70 denier, 190T nylon taffeta
canopy, 210 denier Oxford nylon floor, and include integrated
roll down dividers for separated sleeping compartments. The
series number indicates the number of people that can be
accommodated.
The Petrel 23 is a freestanding, front-entry, two person tent -
a backpacking staple for three-season use. The Roadrunner 22 is
a two person tent with Waterproof Flysheet Construction. The
Rock 22 is constructed with Continuous Pole Sleeve Technology
which increases tent stability by maximizing contact between
canopy and tent pole, and distributes pressure and weight from
high winds and snow; and both the Bug 33 and Talus 23 with
Fusion Pitch technology which combines continuous pole sleeves
with clip construction for easy setup and improved ventilation.
North Face Ultralight Tents:
North Face Ultralight Tents include the Tadpole 23, Particle 13
and Vector 22, with price ranging from $200 to $230. All the
three models are constructed with Waterproof Flysheet
technology, with 40 denier 240T nylon ripstop canopy and 70
denier 210T nylon taffeta floor.
The Tadpole 23 is a two-person tent with Fusion Pitch, while the
Particle is a lightweight one-person tent with a silicone
flysheet for ease of packing and water repellency. The Vector 22
is a freestanding, two-person backpacking tent also with a
silicone flysheet and dual doors.
All the Ultralight tents are equipped with the common North Face
tent features such as compression stuffsack, fly only pitching,
internal pockets, DAC Featherlite aluminum poles, reflective
guyline loops and zipper cording etc.
