Overview

Not a solo shelter, the North Face Stormbreak in this size is a freestanding camping tent for a small group, with aluminum poles, a vestibule and a polyester body. Color-coded poles and clips are meant to make setup straightforward.

Extra floor width and a vestibule give a small group space for gear, and the color-coded frame speeds assembly. The limitation is weather range: the listing names a two season rating, so a shoulder-season trip is as far as it goes.

Who it's for

Friends or a small family camping in mild weather will find the floor width, vestibule area and color-coded setup useful. Winter campers and backpackers watching every ounce should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Vestibule for gear
  • Color-coded poles and clips
Cons
  • Two season rating only
  • Heavier packed weight
  • Hand wash care only
  • Short manufacturer warranty

Performance notes

Polyester taffeta with a DWR coating sheds light rain, and the rainfly adds an outer layer over the canopy. Advanced ventilation is listed to move air through the tent. A freestanding frame holds its shape without stakes, and the vestibule gives wet gear a place outside the sleeping area.
