The North Face Dome Tent is a great option among 5 person tents.
A perfect tent for serious mountaineering and hiking, the North Face Dome 5 Tent can be called home away from home whether it’s used for one week or an entire camping season.
This particular tent design was recently completely updated and now boasts a more stable and lighter architecture.
Here are some of the many great features of this North Face tent:
- made of a sturdy 70-denier 210T nylon rip stop canopy fabric
- the 210-denier nylon oxford fly fabric is coated with a 1,500-mm. polyurethane finish and is waterproof
- floor fabric is made of waterproof and durable 210T nylon taffeta that is coated with a 10,000-mm. polyurethane finish for added endurance
- sleeps up to five adults
- at the top of the tent you will find 9 DAC Featherlite™ NSL aluminum poles that are lightweight and sturdy – this aids in eliminating unnecessary poles and reducing the overall tent weight without sacrificing stability
- This tent has a unique design in that it lifts during strong winds instead of the falling down and bending that can occur in some tents. This due to a new structural design that includes what is called lift venting. North Face designers saw the need to work with the wind instead of allowing the tent to be knocked around like so many other tents can be.
