North Face Tadpole SL 2-Person Lightweight Backpacking Tent

The North Face Tadpole FL 2-Person Backpacking Tent – Lightweight 3-Season Shelter

Engineered for adventurous duos, The North Face Tadpole FL Tent delivers a spacious interior while shedding weight for effortless backpacking. Perfect for spring through fall excursions, this freestanding shelter balances durability and comfort with smart, user-friendly features.

Quick & Easy Setup
Color-coded webbing and lightweight DAC Featherlite® NSL poles simplify pitching—even in low light. The reinforced pole hubs and clips enhance stability without adding bulk, ensuring a secure home base after long trails.

Weather-Ready Protection
A fully seam-sealed canopy and coated ripstop nylon floor shield you from rain, while strategic high/low ventilation minimizes condensation. The included rainfly adds an extra layer of defense, and paired with an optional footprint (sold separately), it transforms into an ultra-light shelter for fast-and-light trips.

Thoughtful Backpacking Features
– Optimized Space: 29 sq. ft. floor area + 8.8 sq. ft. vestibule for gear storage.
– Convenient Storage: Ceiling loop for hanging a headlamp or small essentials.
– Packability: Compresses to 12 x 21 inches (4 lbs. 7 oz.), ideal for tight pack spaces.

Built to endure rugged trails yet light enough (3 lbs. 15 oz.) for long hauls, the Tadpole FL is your go-to for three-season reliability. Includes stakes, guylines, and stuff sacks—ready to hit the wild straight out of the box.
