Excellent for four-season use and any outdoor adventure that risks hunkering down in inhospitable conditions, The North Face VE 25 is the most popular expedition tent made by The North Face. With a trail weight of 9 lbs., 12 oz., it’s considerably lighter than most tents in the expedition line and it offers considerably more space than the two-person Mountain 25 tent (many mountaineers opt for the advantage of a three-person tent for two people because they can capitalize on a little more space when they’re hunkered down and waiting out storms). Like many of the best designed mountaineering tents, the VE 25 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. If things do get too muggy, unzip the adjustable mesh vents for bug-free cross ventilation. 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. The VE 25 comes with internal storage pockets for gear, but if you really want to organize (and possibly dry out) your mountaineering and backpacking gear, get the fully-compatible #2 Gear Loft from The North Face.

Product Reviews

  • Excellent Design As Usual - This “new” VE 25 is excellent as a backcountry tent. Entry and exit is easy. Huge amount of room for 2 people and all gear. Side pockets running length of tent and overhead are excellent for all sorts of in-tent and around-camp little items. Vents with/without (selectable) screen in tent peak is excellent for ventiation. Too tight for 3 large adults (6-footer) comfortable for 3 smaller size (5-footer). For 2 people (6-foot 5-10) it is perfect. We owned a mid-80’s version of VE25 that survived almost 20 years of desert mountains and everything in between on countless backcountry trips. It stood up to strong wind snow and pouring rain. It was our workhorse. Having tried 4 different tents of equal cost from 2 different manufacturers since 1998 we are glad to be “home” with the Northface VE25 again. This new one seems ready to serve us for the next 20 years knock on wood.
  • great tent - it’s great–bigger than it looks and you can pee in it.
  • Great but not light - I owe this tent for almost one yr and did some serious hiking with it. I camped at the Japanese alps at 9000 Ft in the snow and with terrible scary gale force winds. The tent is very spacious for two people a bit cramped for three. I enjoy the tent very much and the only improvement is to make the zipper design a bit better. I had several times that the zipper got stuck in the material. Overall good value for money and a nice home particularly when it is cold outside.
