Summary:
great tent with more room than you think. it packs so nice and small - you wouldnt think it had so much room.

only took me 10 minutes to put up the first time on christmas day in my living room.

there is room for 3 and plenty of room for gear in the vestibule. i bought the TNF gear loft for extra storage space above and there is still plenty of head room. this is a great backpacking tent for 2 or 3. i also bought the TNF footprint and its color coded for easy/quick setup.

internal pockets make for nice storage - a trademark of TNF. comes with TNF stuff sack, tent, fly, 3 poles and 16 stakes.

i would definately advise buying the north face product.

Customer Service:
never had to deal with them. i have heard from friends they are super easy to deal with and will always - ALWAYS - stand behind their products - for a lifetime.

Summary:
Have not come accross a tent that has more room for this amount of weight and durability. We are incredibly hard on tents as we go backpacking with our dog who sleeps in the tent. This tent has stood up to everything we have thrown at it. Also has an incredible amount of vertical space which is a plus when changing.

Customer Service:
Have not had to test them yet, they built their tent to well.

Summary:
An outstanding 2 person tent (3 people are shoulder to shoulder) & very easy to set up the first time. We needed space for 3, with gear, so we switch to the Kelty Vortex 4 from Campmore for $200.

Summary:
I recently bought this tent at popular outdoor for 40% off. What most attracted me to this tent was it light weight for such a large tent three people could easily sleep in it and the huge vestuble would hold all thier gear. I also dig the color and design as well as the guyline loops. I have taken this tent out twice and it has performed wonderfully. I have not been able to find the footprint so I used a tarp and when it raind a puddle of water formed between the tent and tarp I never knew untill I took down the tent, In New mexico there is not much need for a four season or expidition tent. this tent and a good slepping bag is more than enough to winter camp in this state. I would have had no problem paying to the 269.00 regular price I just lucked out. Also I first contemplated buying the nebula but beside the zipper panels theres not a big difference for what I would use it for the nebula and stratos tents do have a thicker waterproof coating on the floor but the footprint takes care of that.
overall I love this tent and at 173.00 anyone would.
