A Closer Look At The North Face Vario 23
If you are looking to buy a 3 season 2 person tent you could do a lot worse than the North Face Vario 23 Tent. This critically acclaimed tent won the 2008 top single wall tent award from backpacker magazine and continues to be a strong contender today. The reasons for the varios success are simple, it does what it is meant to do and does it very well. If you are looking for a tent in this class you will want it to do a few things and do them well.
One of the first things you will want the tent to do is be lightweight so you can carry it in your bag for long distances without too much hassle. With the maximum weight of the vario is 4bls 5oz's it won't over burden your back pack.
the second thing that you will want to be assured of with your tent is that it is fully waterproof so you don't wake up in a puddle of water. the Vario also ticks his box as well it has fully seam sealed canopy as well as taped seams on the fully waterproof ultralight base.
Last but not least you will want a tent that can be put up quickly so you can escape a storm or so you get more time to relax. The Vario 23 tent also does well on this front the microclips enable the tent to be pitched quickly by clipping the tent to the poles rather than the fiddly job of threading them through e normal pole tunnels.
You will be glad to know the attributes of the North Face Vario 23 tent do not stop here, it has an abundance of other features that make it a surefire winner. Storage inside the tent is aided by several internal pockets. the vestibules are another handy storage option at just over six sq ft each. North Face’s high low ventilation system helps to keep condensation away by getting fresh air flowing around the tent.
Another great feature is the upper level lift vent created using the brow pole, this allows the tent to work with the wind rather than against it, letting you have a comfortable night’s sleep without feeling as if you are going to be blown off the mountain.
Another piont you will be glad to hear is North Face give you a lifetime warranty with the vario 23!
I'm sure you will agree that the vario 23 stands above the other tents in this catagory when you consider all of the features mentioned here. This tent covers all the bases you want for a tent like this and then gives you more for good measure.
I am sure the North Face Vario 23 would make a very loyal companion on camping trips whether be in spring, summer or fall.

Backpacker Magazine Pot Idea Test
.
A backpack fitted with pocket(s) that are suspended on the wearer"s front side (chest) and loaded in such a way that the load in the front and the load in the back are about equal is called a bodypack. The majority of the load on a bodypack is carried by the hips.
