The North Face Stormbreak 2 Person Tent Golden Oak/Pavement

2024-10-12T20:00:00

Had the Storm Break 3 years so far, and maybe a couple/few dozen uses. At half the price of the similarly featured tents from the pro competition, it's an impressive tent IMO. It's a couple pounds heavier, but that has very little effect in my application (mostly motorcycle camping). I've had zero problems with poles, zippers, stitching, fabric, or other parts/details. I'm relatively careful and use common sense in setup and breakdown of the tent. I use a decent ground cloth to protect the floor and avoid exposure to sharp sticks and rock etc. Also avoid over tensioning the loops and holding points when staking and setting up guylines. I'm careful with zippers and don't force them or zip/unzip carelessly or super fast. In my limited experience, the zippers have been excellent. The vestibule flap zippers can be a bit fussy, and I simply use a finger to "lead" the zipper-pull path; this prevents the overlap fabric from getting caught in the pull. I've used it in light rain and moderately windy conditions, but not in extreme weather. It has performed and held up just fine. Having read some of the negative reviews, I don't understand how poles can just "break" or bend into some strange wavy deformed condition that some have claimed - that's odd IMO, and makes me wonder if those individuals aren't revealing the entire story/truth or maybe were careless? Setup is quick and pretty simple, and is doable in the dark if you're familiar with the process and the tent. I really like the overall design and features: roomy, vestibules, inside mesh pockets in all 4 corners, interior hanger loops, the fly - great tent in my experience!

I've used this tent for backcountry camping, hunting, using it as my tent while working wildfire in Alberta. I've had my dog in it with my (110lbs). and spent probably 50 nights in it since i bought it a couple of years ago. Nothing has broken on it, its still waterproof, it packs well into my backpacking bag, it was relatively cheap. Really nothing i can complain about. Nice job North Face

I recently switched to the North Face Stormbreak 2 tent from another model, and I'm really impressed. It's durable, easy to set up, and perfect for camping. The 2-person version is spacious enough for two people and all their gear. Overall, a great choice for beginners or anyone looking for a reliable tent!

I got my new tent a couple of days ago. Decided to go out for a night out before a week trip. Took everything out of the bag. Started settling up and go to find out one of the cross poles is missing an end piece. Not the end of the world but still. Disappointing.

The tent, my dog and I have been in snow storms and bad thunderstorms. We remained warm and dry. Quick set up, first in the dark.

It's quite spacious, it doesn't get wet, perfect for rain and strong winds. Perfect for photos in the mountains

Super easy to put up even with one person. Materials are solid, seams are taped. Velcro closures on the rain fly can catch when being zipped up, so you do need to guide them by hand (my only gripe). Wholeheartedly recommend

Very spacious tent for its size. Love the squared dome of the tent. No issues with condensation when waking up.

Awesome two person tent. Super easy to set up and put away. Plenty of room for me and son. It's the only tent I have ever owned that folded up and fit back into the bag it came it.

This is a great tent for a weekend warrior like me that only goes on small treks and camping. I set the tent up in right over four minutes on my first try. I really like the fabric that goes partially up the bug net, it prevents back splash from the rain which is a major bummer I've experienced with other tents especially in the middle of the night. The only downside I can nitpick at is it's slight weight and bulk but as I am not thru or section hiking it is easily gotten along with. I would definitely recommend and as I matter of fact I will be ordering the Stormbreak 1 sometime in the near future.

Used this tent for a 4 day trip. Perfectly water proof. Get it with the foot print for additional protection and longevity for the tent.

Great tent for solo camping. Easy to assemble, light to hike with, and kept me dry in a heavy downpour. The two vestibules are awesome for keeping gear dry and stowed. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tent, great space. I'm 6'6 and it's great as a solo tent for me, can fit a smaller partner for sure. Overhang is great at keeping my gear dry through the night.

The storm break is super easy to set up. Goes up in about 2 minutes. Great vestibules and head room. Nice!

I have bothe the Storm break1 & 2. They both work great for hiking, and I typically decide which one based on the type of hike. I've used the Stormbreak 2 for longer hikes where I might be carrying extra gear, people, or things that I prefer to keep in the tent with me. I've been extremely pleased with my purchase.

I set this tent up on Saturday knowing rain was coming. It rained pretty hard all day. It didn't leak a drop. Yes i would recommend this tent. It is easy to set up and uses quality parts. It has good head room. And it does not leak.

Bought the storm break 2 years ago when a local shop was shutting down on sale. And even if I didn't get it on sale I would buy it again in a heart beat. I have probably about 130+ nights in this bad boy and it still runs as flawless as can be. Only thing I have had to do to it is patch some holes that showed up on the bottom on a couple trips where I forgot my foot print and setup location was less than ideal. (Hunting trips in the mountains in BC) probably my favourite thing about this tent, is as the name says, storm break is its ability to stand strong in the wind. I have had this bad boy set up in some less than ideal locations, in less than ideal conditions and when all the lines are out, and the wind is howling, the tent barely wiggles. I've been beside some hunting partners and heard their tent collapse and the wind just sailed on over the north face storm break. Zippers still work as good as the day I purchased it, fly is still nice and water tight. However I will say, when you have the fly sinched down and are spending lots of hours in the tent it does condensate inside the fly, wich is normal for every tent I have ever used, but if you're able to open up the vestibule doors for a couple hours during the day the screen on the tent itself lets a lot of air through to dry it all up before bed again. 10/10 love this tent.

Kept us dry during a severe thunderstorm, didn't have to worry about water getting in, plenty of space between the tent and the rain cover to store things while sleeping but they still were protected

I absolutely love this tent. So easy to setup; under 10 mins. The two person is perfect for me as a solo camper. Nice and roomy on the inside. I used it last summer at Mesa Verde. One of the days I was there wait was really windy. I think we had gusts up to 40-50 mph and all day. Other tents did not fair very well; my tent didn't budge at all. It also rained all day on my last day and through the night. The tent stayed nice and dry. The footprint did its job because that was the only dry spot was under the tent.
