Whether you're gone for a week or a season, The North Face Dome 5 Tent is the ideal expedition design for serious mountaineering and guiding. From top to bottom, The North Face recently updated the design with a lighter and more stable architecture. At the top you'll find a ring-shaped aluminum hub that helps eliminate unnecessary pole sections and reduces the overall tent weight without sacrificing stability. There's also an upper level vent that applies a new lift technology that helps the tent work with the wind instead of being knocked around. Despite the reduced weight, the Dome 5 still offers alpine extras like snow flaps along the base and hanger hooks for storing the canopy. Like many of the best designed mountaineering tents, the Dome 5 has an integrated polyurethane view window that's cold tested to -60F so you can check on the weather without compromising any of the warmth inside the tent. The guy-out points are numerous enough to weather big blows and the No-Stretch Kevlar guylines with camming adjustments are ideal for pitching in open spaces. Plenty of internal pockets along the walls make it easy for everyone to find a place for stowing their essentials, with easy access even after the last candle lantern flickers out.
The North Face Dome 5 Tent 4-Season tent provides a safe haven for you and your four climbing partners during the worst Alaskan or Himalayan base camp storms. The incredibly strong 10-pole design withstands horrendous winds, and you can pile snow on the perimeter skirt to keep any air from getting under the Dome 5 Tent and turning it into a kite. A massive vestibule provides a place to stash gear so you don't have to pile it into the interior. The crew at The North Face knows that you need all the space you can get for marathon card games while you wait for good climbing weather.
Be your own basecamp with the Dome 5 for The North Face, which sleeps a team of three or more people, or ten dogs, or one petite yak. Built for the rigorous demands of mountain life around the world, your team or traveling zoo will have year-round shelter.
Serving as a portable hotel for mountaineers in merciless environs such as Mt. Everest, Antarctica, and wind-scoured ridges in between, the Dome 5 is a superb fast-pitching base camp shelter that sleeps five. Incorporating cutting-edge technology, this expedition tent achieves ultimate durability and protection from brutal conditions at 5,200-meter base camps.

I would if I was going where this tent is intended to be used...I would! | |

First off, I do NOT own this tent, and I would not normally review something I do not own, but I am finding myself compelled to rate this 5 stars, just to offset the above review of 'mis2478456'. This tent is in NO WAY a 'rip off'. Expensive? Yes, it is. Worth it? Every penny! If you are going above, oh say, 6,000 meters, or above 50 degrees N or below 50 degrees S latitude, especially for an extended period of time, or for a base camp, then you are going to thank (your)God that you inside this tent or one similar. If we are ever on the same mountain together, and you are in your $379 bargain 4-season tent, don't come knocking at my door! | |

For serious mountain climbers it is worth it to invest in a serious tent. | |
