The North Face Assault 2 FUTURELIGHT

The tent leaked that bad after the trip i dried out, the tent and later i read the instructions and it said that the bath tub floor material is not co...

Poles were definitely too long. I had to cut about 3/4" off each pole to get it setup. Even with that much cut off it's still nice and tight but at least I'm able to set it up without busting a gut. If you know how to use a pipe cutter and are aware of how to deal with the elastic in the poles it's ...

I've used the assault tents for years on light and fast missions where we want a bombproof tent and we are willing to use a single wall. On Papsura in India at 18,000', the Cassin Ridge on Denali for multiple nights, and this newest version on Lhotse. Single wall tents build condensation, it happens...

Simple tent construction, but you have to be a gorilla to set up and take down this tent. The poles seem to be a bit too long for the positioning of the steel grommets, and I am unable to remove the short pole that expands vents on the top of the tent. I will return the tent with the short top pole ...

It collected condensation on the inside all night long and soaked my down bag. woke up wet and freezing cold. i do not at all recom...

I have a number of tents including the Mountain 25, Trango 2, and BD Eldorado. I would say this tent is right up there regarding construction quality and attention to detail. Pitching the tent for the first time took only 1min 40 seconds so it is pretty fast. Was very wind stable and vented well. I ...

This is a fantastic tent for alpinism. Sturdy, light, and easy to build and tear down. It is fairly breathable, especially when vented. Definitely a big step forward in alpine tents.

(Though again, there is a slightly more dirtbag friendly version of the tent available The North Face Assault Futurelight 2). As a self-described dirtbag, I would personally take on a few more grams for a less expensive tent with more features, then get this tent when I’m ready for my Mugs Stump worthy send.

The North Face Assault 2 FUTURELIGHT offers exceptional value with a single wall tent construction. It's relatively versatile for a single wall tent, thanks to its many vents and included vestibule, and it weighs in respectably on the scale. On top of that, it's more affordable than most single-wall...
