VE 25

[The North Face VE-25](https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/p/bags-and-gear/camp-shop/mountaineering-829880/ve-25-tent-NF0A8BDT) Rock solid 4-season with a hexagonal footprint, so you can turn your orientation after setting up the tent. Not cheap, but not the most expensive gear out there either. edit: another point in the VE-25's favor is that the four tent poles are all the same size. Simplifies setup, which is nice since in winter you're more likely to be setting up in the dark

Summer/hot I use a big Agnes copper spur ul4 Fall/winter/early spring I use an old north face ve-25.

I had team mates use this tent when I climbed Denali 10 years and it was solid. You'll have a hard time finding any other 4 season tents anywhere close to that price these days.

I own the VE-25. Where are you going to be camping?

"a little stickiness on the rain fly" The coating is degrading due to hydrolysis. This is a problem with all aging tents, it's not specific to North Face. It's irreversible and there is no fixing it. I wouldn't buy it.

Unlikely you would be able to get a new fly. And the same coating is on the tent floor. This tent is past it's expiration date, keep looking.

I was going to say something similar. I've got half a dozen tents and have seriously put them through the ringer. The real MVP is UV and waterproof sprays for maintenance. I like nikwax best but have used all kinds of brands. And always throw some dessicant, like silica packets, in when you pack it up for winter. With the right treatment, I had a $25 Walmart tent be the only one in my camping group that made it through an absolute deluge. I have a Coleman that was up for almost 4 months straight and get regular use l, for weeks at a time, and is still going strong years later. But if you want my all-time favorite, can handle absolutely anything, it's TheNorthFace VE 25. Been through sand storms, blizzards, days of rain. But it's a bit of a pita to set up.

TNF 25 = high altitude, almost exped level alpine mountaineering tent. MH = solid 4-season tent for more “typical” winter camping. Both good options but def different horses for different courses. As others have said, there are plenty of other options for both categories.
