The North Face VE 25 Tent boasts dual door and dual vestibule design, for maximum storage.

For checking the weather outside, without releasing the warmth inside the tent, the VE 25 has an integrated polyurethane view window, tested to -60F.

The North Face VE 25 Tent is highly recommended if you are looking for a top-of-the line, 4 season, 2 person tent, with a good price.

All its users are very pleased with their purchase and say they wouldn’t want any other tent to keep them warm on their hiking trips.

The North Face VE 25 Tent is highly water resistent and no users have reported leaking, even in the worst of weather conditions.

Users would have liked the VE 25 to offer more room, but it still has enough room for 2 people plus equipment, and its low temperature performance is hard to match. It is however a bit heavy, and users say it is certainly not a backpacking tent.

The North Face VE 25 Tent is a moderately priced, 2 person tent, which offers extreme weather protection  and a long list of desirable features.

Company Info:

The North Face brand was established in 1968 in San Francisco, California, when Douglas Tompkins and Dick “Hap” Klopp created an equipment retail store that eventually acquired the current name “The North Face”. This name was chosen because the north face of a mountain in the northern hemisphere is generally the most difficult face to climb.

The North Face’s logo consists of a slightly skewed quarter-circle with two lines running within it. This image is an interpretation of Half Dome, a rock formation in Yosemite National Park, viewed from the west, with the sheer north (or northwest) face of Half Dome to the left.
