For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

The 2-person Mountain 25 tent uses an extremely strong geodesic design, especially valuable when snow and wind are your most formidable enemies!

  • Dual doors and vestibules provide user-friendly entry/exit and good ventilation; pole-supported front vestibule with snowflap adds stability
  • Fusion Pitch combines continuous pole sleeves with clip construction for easy setup and improved ventilation without sacrificing strength
  • DAC Featherlite® NSL poles utilize unique inserts to create strong, functional poles that save weight and reduce breakage
  • Lift Technology: pole/hub system on rainfly lets wind pass through, lifting the tent slightly for increased stability
  • Internally adjusted mesh top vents ensure spindrift melts onto rainfly; vent doors come together to form a gear loft
  • Color-matched canopy and rainfly webbing allow easy set-up; side-release buckles at pole intersection points ensures a very strong connection
  • Taped, seam-tensioned bathtub floor offers the clean angles and usable space of a catenary cut without requiring seam sealing
  • Rainfly and floor feature a waterproof polyurethane coating for superior protection and durability
  • Polyurethane windows, cold crack tested to -60° F, improve living conditions by increasing light and views
  • Reflective guyline loops, guylines and zipper pulls help you locate tent or adjust tent setup in the dark
  • No-stretch Kevlar® guylines with self-locking cams hold the vestibule taut for the severe conditions 4-season tents might encounter
  • Pitch the rainfly only with poles and corresponding footprint (sold separately) for a weight-saving, minimalist summer shelter
  • Comes with stakes, guylines with cams and compression stuff sack
  • Compatible with The North Face Gear Loft #2 (sold separately)

Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

This review is based on the model I bought five years ago!

I have used this tent for five years in varying conditions: all the way from hot summer nights in Michigan to cold, windy nights on Mt. Rainier glaciers. It is good to know you will have a reliable "home" after a long day.

Two persons can sleep inside with most of the gear (we use our backpacks for propping up our head). The vestibule is big enough to leave shoes and cooking gear. There is lots of storage room on the side to keep your things organized. The yellow color provides a warm glow even on cloudy days. The reflectors makes the tent visible in nights. Entrance is on both sides making it easy. There is a mesh screen as well as a solid screen for both entrances. On hot days, solid screens can be unzipped so you can have great airflow.

I wish the tent was lighter! Once I add the footprint and snow stakes, it gets heavy. It would be nice if the fly attached to the tent in a more quick/efficient manner. Velcros are used for attaching fly to the tent. Some type of snap-on buckles would have been better.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

    If you can afford this tent, it is the only tent you'll ever need (unless you have more than two people that is)... No matter how bad the weather is, you will be dry once you get inside a Mountain 25. It is easy and fast to set up, and is super lightweight.

    One of my poles was run over by the car and broken, and North Face repaired it free of charge!

    Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

    We used this tent on a 100 mike trek across the South New Zealand Otago; great performance in high winds (50+ mph); holds body heat during very low temperatures (10F); takes some time to set up, but worth it when conditions are extreme. Plenty of room for two people; vestibules at each end with lots of room for packs, boots, etc.

      Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

      Sets up like most 4 season tents. This is my second 4 season. Holds up in windstorms and really bad weather. Tight as a drum. While other tents were flapping around, this one was solid - I got a good nights sleep. Ventilation is ok, not as good as my REI Mountain 3, but the construction and details are why you pay a few more bucks. The poles are top quality. Even the pegs are impressive. Nice.

      I recently took this tent on a weekend climbing trip and out of four tents this was the only one that didn't need to be tied down; it was rock solid in 40mph winds. I bought this tent for warmth and durability and that's exactly what I got.

      Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

      I have an older version that looks more or less similar to the current one. Got it for skiing touring. Haven't taken it climbing ever because it's too heavy to carry with all the climbing stuff. It has worked out well for all my winter adventures, has never given me problems, and the components have stood up extremely well.

      Comments about The North Face Mountain 25 Tent:

      i really wanted to get a 4-season tent to take with me when i go snow camping. after a lot of looking around and reading reviews, i decided on this one and couldn't be happier with my choice. i love pretty much everything about this tent. it is tight as a drum. they weren't joking when they rated it for high winds! the first time i used it, it stormed and snowed overnight and dumped several inches on us, but the snow weight didn't phase this tent a bit. the two vestibules are very useful. the smaller one is perfect for stashing backpacks and snowwshoes, and the larger one is big enough to cook under. because you can store your gear in the two vestibules, this leaves enough room for two people to sleep comfortably and not feel too crowded. also, there are several internal mesh pockets to keep smaller things. the only bad thing is the extra weight, but with all the good things about this tent, i felt it to be well worth the extra couple pounds. some advice i would give, is that the first few times you set it up, make sure you bring the directions with you, or practice at home before you go. it's not hard, but could be confusing and time consuming until you've become more familier with the set up. so, in summation, if you are looking for a great quality, sturdy, practical tent, especially for on the mountain, look no further. you won't be dissappointed.

      p.s. to go with this tent i also bought the footprint, and some sand/snow anchors.
