This 4-season expedition base camp tent is built to withstand the worst Mother Nature has to offer. The Bastion 4 is part of The North Face Summit Series™ gear.

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
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 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 cross-flow 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 keep small gear organized
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
Comes with stakes, guylines with cams, 4 fabric snow stakes and compression stuff sack
Compatible with The North Face Square Gear Loft, not included

Comments about The North Face Bastion 4 Tent:

I have been looking for a "true" 4 season tent for 4 persons for a very long time. So long, in fact, that my friends make fun of me and believe that I am insatiable.

For starters shouldn't a 4 season tent have zippable covers for the mesh windows? Good luck finding one until now! I tent mostly in the Sierras and Cascades and when it blows 40+ to 80+ mph, the wind goes between the fly and tent and then into the mesh windows on any other tent. And if you're trying to keep heat in at night, you don't want mesh. It gets very cold and uncomfortable. This tent, not a problem with the zippable covers.

As an engineer, I like the pole design and layout as it provides a very, very strong structure while remaining light. The front vestibule is well protected and provides ample space for packs. It also includes about a 5" clear window between the two front mounted doors on the vestibule to see the weather conditions outside without leaving the comfort of your sleeping bag. It is roomy and comfortable inside with plenty of pockets. The fly velcros onto the tent in numerous spots as well as going through the grommets on the poles. The fly has zippable windows to allow air flow thru to the tent mesh windows and the geniuses at The North Face even included a little prop to make sure the fly window stays open to maximize air flow. The tent comes with sand/snow bags to secure the tent if stakes are not possible. The shape of the tent/fly suits it very well to deflecting strong wind gusts.

We plan to use the tent for car camping to backpacking to mountaineering as it provides the creature comforts while providing a high-end mountaineering design. Haven't used it yet to provide a full review, but have set it up outside just to see what it has. Love this tent already!!!

Comments about The North Face Bastion 4 Tent:

Have only set it up in the living room so far. I was happy with the innards. Unhappy that I had to pay extra for the gear loft: At this price point shouldn't that be included?
