The North Face Mountain 25 two-person tent has an extremely strong design and features an internal guyout system that is especially valuable when snow and wind are your most formidable enemies!

Front door has both mesh and fabric panels, providing user-friendly entry/exit and good ventilation; large pole-supported front vestibule with snowflap adds stability
Rear door allows entry and exit and access to items in the rear vestibule; half mesh panel assists ventilation while saving overall weight
Color-matched canopy and rainfly webbing allow easy set-up; side-release buckles at pole intersection points ensure a strong connection
Fusion Pitch combines continuous pole sleeves with clip construction for easy setup and improved ventilation without sacrificing strength
Internal guyout system adds extra stability during high winds and extreme conditions
New ground level stakeout points allow side poles to be staked down at ground level on a bivy platform to secure against winds that blow up the slope and underneath the tent
Rainfly vestibule features new flat-sleeve construction; pole initiation is quick and easy especially in bad weather, and the sleeve sheds weather effectively
High-low ventilation design harnesses convection and crossflow to help expel moisture vapor and prevent interior condensation
DAC Featherlite® NSL poles utilize unique inserts to create strong, functional poles that save weight and reduce breakage
Rainfly and floor feature a waterproof polyurethane coating for superior protection and durability
Taped, seam-tensioned bucket floor offers clean angles and usable space
Abundant pockets on both sides of tent as well as front and rear ceiling
No-stretch Kevlar® guylines with self-locking cams hold the fly taut for the severe conditions 4-season tents might encounter
Polyurethane vestibule window, cold crack tested to -60° F, improves living conditions by increasing light and views
Reflective guylines and zipper pulls help you locate tent or adjust tent setup in the dark
Pitch the rainfly only with poles and corresponding footprint (sold separately) for a weight-saving, minimalist summer shelter
Comes with stakes, guylines with cams, 4 snow stakes and compression stuff sack
Compatible with The North Face Square Gear Loft, sold separately

Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

This is a typical North Face Mountain Tent with lineage dating back to the Oval Intention in the late 1970's. Construction quality and materials are top-notch. Execution of the design is excellent: the tent is very sturdy and sets up tightly. Very wind resistant.
Set up takes some practice due to use of pole sleeves instead of clips, but the result is a much stronger tent. (This is typical of NF mountain tents.) Just practice it a few times, and you'll do fine when it counts.
A smaller lighter fly without the vestibule would be a nice option for car camping and warmer weather use, but the supplied fly gives excellent full coverage and the vestibule is nice.
Only con is that the tent is heavy. I
t would make a terrific 3 person tent for use high on Denali, or for a base camp tent for 2 people. It will undoubtedly see much car camping use in cold, windy, places, too.

Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

Loving this tent. Very simple to get up even in the dark or poor conditions. It is a bit on the heavy side however this thing will keep you warm and dry through a hurricane if properly set up. Guylines are simple to adjust, vestibule is sized to store some gear or cook in, has a few mesh storage pockets inside to organize gear...overall great design. The zippers on the fly are a bit tough to manipulate when the fly is under tension but overall a very small issues. One thing i really like compared to a friends Mountain Hardwear shelter is lots of reflective material. Under red-light, this thing lights up like the Las Vegas strip...no more tripping over guylines or wondering where your tent is in poor conditions!

Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

I bought this tent for winter mountaineering in the sierras and it is everything you could ask for plus some. the first time i used it was on a backpacking trip over the summer in the Domeland Wilderness. It was pretty warm at night but with the chance of T-storms I put on the fly. The tent breathed very well and didnt get stuffy during the night, once the sun hit us in the morning it got hot fast. I have tested it out in the cold and snow and it stayed dry and warm, the temp was 16F at night but the temp in the tent was at mid to upper 20's. the Fly can build up some condensation if not fully open. The tent has a large vestibule perfect for cooking and getting ready in, the tent also has a rear vestibule that you could store a pack or something of similar size in. the interior is loaded with pockets, and is fairly roomy, im 6'4" and can sit up in it. When I lay down my bag barley touches the foot and head walls. The tent is a bit heavy but it is designed for anything the mountains could throw at you, and i like knowing that I can sleep in comfort that my tent will hold up. Bottom Line: Cold Weather Mountaineering, not the lightest, sturdy, and fair price for what you get.

Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

I just got back from Whitney. The weather wasn't bad, but it was still cold and this tent insulates. It's heavy, but I can suck it up. I know come full winter conditions I will survive well in the 14ers with their weather. Bring it on weather!!!

Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

I use this tent mostly for winter camping and long alpine climbs where weather is sketchy. The tent is easy to set-up for the style but not quite as easy as some. Internal poles would be awesome for the really bad weather when you would like to be in the tent rather than suffering in the wind setting the fly. Bombproof in the wind when the guys are deadmanned in the snow. Requires a bit of work keeping snow off the top in heavy snow condidions as it reduces the ventilation when the fly sags creating condensation inside.

Love the amount of storage pockets, vestibule is great, I dig out inside to create a place for boots and packs. I have had two people sit in the door with feet in the vestibule, putting on boots and crampons, comfortably out of the elements.

Overall great tent, slightly heavy but when you need more living space than the bivy sack it is the one to choose.

Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

I've owned my Mountain 25 for about two years now and I have ZERO issues. This has been my main tent to date. It's survived a varity of weather conditions from sun, rain, hale storms, to snow. This is hands down been the best money spent on a tent to date. Even though it weights 9 - 10 lbs, it's still pretty light to pack. I used it primarily for car camping, but should I end up on Mt. Everest for some unknown reason....I'm ready! It was perfect for myself, as I had PLENTY of storage inside the tent to keep everything dry. I also enjoyed the enclosed porch type set-up that was outside the tent. This made it easy for cooking or making that first cup of java as well as keeping my shoe's dry. If you have to buy ONLY one tent, this four-season tent will for sure...fit the bill!!
