This tent has been used only once and in pristine condition. This is a Great tent: Great mountain tent; great winter tent; great all around 2 person tent that can handle about anything that nature can throw at you, including heavy winds, rain, snow. North Face thought of everything on this tent: All features are heavy duty. Can handle two large adults easily; doors on both ends; very nice vestibule in front that will hold 2 packs nicely. Poles are made of the heaviest duty aluminum, even the stakes are well designed. Pictures show with and with out the rain-fly on. Comes with Tent, Fly, poles, bag for poles, main bag, bag for stakes, 2 sponge dividers for rain-fly, seam sealer.Check out these reviews: first from 4/4 review:
On occasion we find ourselves really needing to get “one with nature”… When that urge comes about we usually head outdoors. Well, if your really trying to become one with nature, then you head out with your trusty 30-06 and bear skin suit, but today in this busy world we can’t afford to take time to become an overnight Grizzly Adams. With this in mind, especially while your packing you find your self bringing some sort of shelter whether it be a , pop-up trailer or your trusty 1950’s that smells like it came from the 1950’s! Things have changed since then and tents these days don’t have a stitch of non-synthetic stitch in them. Take for example our Mountain 24 tent. This bad boy is made with the finest materials yet. Such as 7075 T-9 Easton Aluminum Poles (the best in the business). This tent has a low wind and snow shedding shape that shrugs off the worst weather this planet can dish out. In fact it has been pitched on Mt. Everest, K2, the North Pole, the South Pole and of course in some backyards. Further, this casa sports internal and external guylines to help with those 100+ m.p.h. winds. It dimensions are 90” X 59” X 39″ high. Plus 35 SqFt. of floor space. Plenty big for two large framed dudes (Hopefully a stream and a bar of soap are nearby) with a pack size of 24” X 7” and a total pack weight of 8lbs. 15 oz.

Bought this tent for wilderness boarding school when… June 16, 2010

Design: 4-season, free standing, rain fly vestibule requires 2 stakes
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: I can do it in the dark in under 5 minutes.
Weight: at least 8 pounds, it's a monster
Price Paid: $300+
Bought this tent for wilderness boarding school when I was 15, pretty much lived in it for 9 months. Been using it to camp for the last 15 years. Somewhere along the line I lost one pole and broke another, but it still sets up and stays up, lasted 3 days of consistent thunder storms, pouring rain and hail last summer before it finally started to leak. It's quite roomy and comfortable for 2 adults. I've crammed as many as 4, which I don't recommend outside of an emergency, but 3 is doable if you're all good friends. I'm ready to trade in for something more light-weight. This thing is a beast to carry especially since now I only really backpack in the summer, but my next tent will definitely be a North Face. Plus this one is still totally serviceable if I do decide I need to camp in the snow. I don't think I've ever gotten such good use out of anything in my life. My Mountain 24 is now quite old, but until recently,… March 30, 2015

Summary My Mountain 24 is now quite old, but until recently, has been a good solid 4-season mountaineering tent.I bought my Mountain 24 in 1997 and have many years of excellent service (Arctic/Andes/Alps). I spent a Christmas with two other 6'+ climbers at 6000m, and so it has been really tested. On another occasion we spent four days tent-bound due to the arctic weather and all was good. It's great in strong winds. It's not the lightest tent, but at the time of buying was probably one of the best tents on the market. There are probably lighter tents that have the same performance. As other reviewers have noted, condensation can be an issue. It's then a choice of opening a zip up for ventilation and letting some cold air in which, with a bit of practise, works ok. In the last two years the sponge dividers between the tent and the fly have perished and the ground sheet has lost all watertightness, but what would you expect after this much time?
