If you're into ultra-light fast-packing, The North Face Tadpole 23 Tent's three-pole design provides a stable, lightweight shelter for two.
- DAC Featherlite® aluminum poles are lighter and stronger--and with no inserts, are less susceptible to failure
- Fusion pitch combines pole sleeves/clips for added strength and support plus easy set up
- Freestanding, geo-hybrid design provides efficient shape and excellent weight-to-space ratio; large front D-door and vestibule
- High and low air circulation is provided through mesh canopy and doors
- Color-coded canopy and rainfly webbing add to the easy set-up
- Internal pockets and hang loops offer plenty of options for gear storage; compatible with TNF #1 Gear Loft, sold separately
- Reflective guyline loops and glow-in-the dark zipper pulls are easy to find at night
- Silicone-/polyurethane-coated rainfly provides excellent water repellency, greater resistance to UV-degradation and greater compressibility for easier packing
- Rainfly-only pitching; in nice weather use only the poles, rainfly and footprint (sold separately) to save weight
- Compression stuff sack included
- Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only
