Why We Like The North Face Trail Lite Tent: 3-Person 3-Season
Perfect for backpacking trips or weekend outings, the Trail Lite Tent boasts a spacious floor and generous height without compromising an efficient weight.

The best tent I have ever slept in
Easy to set up and great to sleep in.

Light, roomy, easy to assemble
We love this tent! Very fast and easy to put up, lightweight for a 3 person tent. I wish it had little corner stash pockets in all 4 corners so if you're skewing head to toe everyone has a pocket, but not a big deal.

Design Failure
I can't understand how TNF can continue to sell this tent. While it's nice for dry weather, there is a serious design flaw. The tent collects water in pools on top. I found this to be the case with both the 3 and 4 person models. Will be trying to return both.

Struggles in the rain
Love the spacious design. But water pools at each low spot on the roof, due to near flat pitch design. Seams are also leaking on second season of use.

Ventilation good for summer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought for camping and backpacking, mostly in northern Minnesota. Took it to a campground and the temps were in the 48-52 F range overnight. We were chilly with very warm sleeping bags and blankets layered on top. The tent itself is easy to set up, good quality. Stood up to a light morning rain. The vestibule design is nice for keeping shoes outside. The tent is very well ventilated, which is likely why we felt the cooler temps. Will be nice for summertime. The fine mesh keeps bugs outside. Overall a great tent!

Dimensions
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could not find the size for these tents anywhere online. So if anyone else is looking for the same thing. Here are the dimensions for the Trail Lite 3. H: 112cm W: 155 cm L: 224cm After a summer spent dying in an old winter tunnel tent, i am looking forward to spending this summer in the Trail Lite 3, i have not tried out outside, but i put it up to check it. And so far its the easiest tent i have ever put up. The materials feel like they are high quality and will stand the test of time. The only thing Im hesitant about is that there is no ventilation in the top of the rain cover. But i suppose you could open both of the doors slightly at the top under the lip, and get airflow through without it raining inside. Never thought i would be excited about a tent, but this one is so cool.

Simple set up!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the easiest set ups for a tent I've seen! The vertical walls helps make good use of the space. The short overall height makes it look as if it will hold up to high winds. I havent been able to use it outside yet but I'm hoping it performs as well as the set up. I'll update my rating in the spring!

First look looks great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have only set up at home so far.... The good: am really pleased with the internal space, and the ease of set up. The not so good: Will probably be switching the pegs for those of our old tent as they are excessively heavy. Volume when packed is a bit big so will look to get a smaller stuff sack to reduce the volume when packed.

Pop it up with ease!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very spacious, well designed, and affordable 3 person tent. Pretty hyped on the construction of the tent, and how basically 90% of the tents surface is just screen when you dont have the rain fly on. The X shape design really creates this cool space when you are laying down in the tent and looking up at the sky. Makes the tent feel very roomy, yet cozy. Lots of space and storage. I use this tent for my wife, 6 month old daughter, dog, and myself. Perfect size for all of us and gear. Quality tent, built with quality materials. Would buy again.
