The North Face Tadpole 23DL 2010

The new version is designed as a stable three season backpacking tent for two. DesignThe TNF Tadpole is an inner-pitched-first tent ...

The North Face Primero 70 2008

£185.00

The bigger the load, the harder it is to make it a comfy carry. It’s natural to want to backpack light, but sometimes you need a stack of gear lightweight sacks can’t hack. To carry 25-30kg you need a sack designed for the job. Cue the Primero 70. The North Face designers started from scratch with this sack, looking at ...

The North Face Rock 22

For two campers there is nothing better than a 2-person tent with lots of space in both the inner and the porch areas, and that is exactly what the Rock 22 provides. The tent is pitched inner-first with clips linking the outside of the inner to the two poles, after which the fly goes over top, while colour-coding and ladder-lock ...

The North Face Dark Star

£270.00

Trail’s synthetic sleeping bag lab test gave result of -31 deg C so it is mega-warm and ideal for high altitude peaks; massive zip baffle and shoulder baffle; excellent snag-fee zip; very water-resistant.

The North Face Roadrunner

£200.00

For many campers  this 2-person backpacking tent this will be the best choice. It is pitched inner-first, although you can pitch the flysheet on its own. The dome shape is very good at fending off winds from many directions. Inside you get acres of space with more useable headroom than some  others in this class. You also get two entrances ...

The North Face Tadpole 23

£220.00

This two-person tent from The North Face is lovely and light, perfect for short summer trips. It’s stable, easy to pitch (inner-first) and comes with a compression sack for easy packing and carrying. The mesh inner walls ventilate well, but aren’t too warm (OK in summer). Some may find this tent a little too cosy for long trips.
