The North Face Expedition Tent Technology
The North Face expedition tents have set the standard for unrivaled performance in merciless environs such as Everest, Antarctica, and wind scoured ridges in between. For almost four decades, The North Face Expedition tents have set the standard for unrivaled performance in merciless environs such as Everest, Antarctica, and wind scoured ridges in between. The eight- and five-person Dome tents utilize geodesic principals to achieve ultimate durability and efficiency of space. Subsequently, they are the choice of top mountaineers for base camps on major expeditions. The two- and three person Expedition tents utilize reinforced construction and multidirectional lift technology to ensure safety, warmth, and protection in the face of nature`s worst. In fact, many The North Face athletes have used them for countless expeditions and will not consider any alternative.
Summit Series
Developed for the most serious athletes, the Summit Series features athlete-tested and technically-advanced apparel and equipment. This premier collection is designed for expedition use from base camp to summit, where the extremes of weather, terrain and temperature demand the highest level of performance.
DAC Featherlight SL Poles
DAC Featherlite SL aluminum tent poles were designed with two main objectives: to offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and to slide easily through tight pole sleeves typical of expedition tent construction. The result is an expedition tent pole that has an even higher strength-to-weight ratio than the original Featherlite pole, and one that works well with tent sleeve construction. This design includes an insert tube with a thinner wall than the main tube giving added strength to the sleeve joint. This construction detail eliminates excess weight and is balanced by a small strengthening tube at the joining position. Found in TNF`s 3-Season and ultralight tents, DAC Featherlite poles are up to 15% lighter than aluminum poles of comparable strength. Additionally, DAC Featherlite poles are less susceptible to failure because pole linkages are based on extrusion instead of glued-in inserts.
