Comments about The North Face Sputnik 2 Tent - 2011 Closeout:

Very intriguing design. Light-weight. Reasonably roomy inside with nice vertical walls. Fairly easy to pitch. Windproof. That is about all I can say good about this tent. Ventilation is poor, so expect significant condensation. The material used for the floor is not waterproof, so expect in moderate to heavy rain, it will leak. Same goes for TNF's "drywally" tent body fabric. Yes it breathes ok, but it is not fully waterproof. It will mist and leak in heavy rain, making the Sputnik essentially useless for anything but fair weather. Once you add in the tiny vestibules, which are barely large enough for boots, let alone packs, then the reasonably roomy interior becomes a tight fit, as all your gear must be stored inside. Seems the tent was designed to appeal to mall rats looking for hip gear, but who are clueless as to what really works in the back county. Honestly, I cannot take this seriously as a legit backpacking shelter, and neither should you. Sorry TNF... this one is only good for the backyard and/or beach in fair weather.
