The North Face Trailhead 6 - A huge 6 person        3 season tent   

The North Face Trailhead 6 tent is a roomy family camper that offers the versatility of a central common room and two separate sleeping quarters-key for keeping the kids from getting too much on each other's nerves-or yours.

For 2004, The North Face introduces the Trailhead line of tents-large tents purpose-built for use as family campers on a Florida beach, base camps for multi-day mountain bike sessions in Moab, or for those of us who just can't leave a single amenity at home.

What sets these tents apart, however, is The North Face's incorporation of the designs, fabrics, and superior craftsmanship found in their world-renowned expedition and backpacking tents. Prayer-bound floor seams increase user space with clean angles, and color-coded canopy and flysheet webbing makes setting up the fly a snap before the rain starts to fall.

Dual doors are a necessity when up to 6 people are coming and going from the Trailhead 6. Rounding out a host of features is an internal pocketing system, a strengthening combination of pole clips and sleeves, two roll-down dividers to create three separate sleeping compartments, and an included stuff sack.

Bottom Line: A roomy, versatile family or base camping tent built with classic TNF quality.
