Stormbreak 2

I like my North Face Stormbreak 2 I would recommend it to anyone https://preview.redd.it/4oq2hrhxzotf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ed4ffa3316458bd3f6b6e0fc59ac95e18dfa20b

we have the stormbreak 2 and love it. if we didn't have a dog and need a three person tent now it would probably what we stayed with for the foreseeable future

The Stormbreak 2 is great. I had the 3 and it stood up to so much rain and wind. The only downsides are the weight and the fly zippers.

I'm also own a NF stormbreak 1 and a stormbreak 2. I love my stormbreak 1, it is small (cozy and easy to find a place to pitch) and very sturdy. The downsides are that it's small and very sturdy (aka heavy), my head touches the top when I sit straight up in the tent and it weighs roughly 3.3 lbs which is not that much less than a lot of budget 2 person tents. I would never even consider taking the stormbreak 2 backpacking.

I love both my Stormbreak 1 and Stormbreak 2 but even the Stormbreak 2 I'd consider very heavy for backpacking, it would be great for car camping though.

Storm break 2 fits me as a 6”5 guy

My wife and I backpacked all through Africa with a stormbreak2. I carried it for 7 months but that wasn’t all day hiking - it was buses and trucks and so normally an hour or two of walking each day to and from bus stations etc. Very durable but I recommend the footprint to protect the base. Held up well in rain. We are from NZ and used it plenty after Africa until the seams gave up after about 3-4 years of heavy use. Last few years we have just been car camping or staying in NZ backcountry huts so I haven’t replaced my hiking tent. But when I do finally get a new tent for hiking in NZ I would go with something lighter. I think storm break is fine if you are mostly on buses etc but if you are using it for multi day hikes you might want something lighter. Having said that the lighter tents seem to be way more expensive…in NZ at least

Check The North Face Stormbreak 2p or 3p. I have been using the 2p Stormbreak for several years in all weather and i really like it. It's super reliable under heavy rain, it has 2 big vestibules for your boots and other stuff and is easy enough to setup.
