Heading to high places with a teammate or two? The North Wind 2.5 is light enough for fast-in, fast-out missions, yet is surprisingly comfortable, thanks to almost vertical sidewalls and a generous front vestibule. The shape is less streamlined than a full-on expedition tent, but the living area feels spacious and has excellent ventilation. This new generation is lighter by a few hundred grams and has U-shaped doors that open wide and stronger, reflective guy lines.
- Zip-out skylight in canopy top is adjustable for air circulation
- Two vestibules: the deeper one makes a good storage or cooking area, the other is an excellent airlock for exits and entries
- Pole clips allow quick set-up and good ventilation
- New U-shaped doors in canopy improve ventilation
- Guy lines are stronger, reflective, and have mitt-friendly tensioners
- Pegs are a mix of Easton Gold round pegs for easy driving, and Y cross-section aluminum pegs for maximum strength and holding power
- Internal guy line anchors for rigging in extreme conditions
