Poor durability
No, I do not recommend this product
I had high expectations for this tent. Unfortunately it lacks durability and TNF doesn’t stand behind the product. I had the same experience as another reviewer. In addition to seam adhesive failing, the vestibule window completely fell off. Fortunately it was my pack out day when it completely delaminated. TNF claimed the vestibule window failure was normal wear and tear and failed to honor the warranty or offer to repair the vestibule. Tent had been meticulously cared for and dried out after each use. I’ve used MSR, Big Agnes, and REI tents and continue to do so without any major problems. I can’t recommend this tent for the price, lack of durability, and poor warranty.

The warranty is bogus
No, I do not recommend this product
Be aware the plastic windows in the rain fly disintegrated on my tent with no use. North face calls it normal wear and tear. This tent was hardly ever used that's not normal wear and tear for plastic to degrade that fast. Do yourself a favor by a REI tent at least they stand behind their own branded equipment.
