Untitled Review
I had the chance to use this tent at Iceberg Lake below Mt. Whitney in winter conditions. We did not get a great deal of wind but the little wind we had did not budge the tent. The tent jammed 4 of us in there (a little tight). With all of the poles I could not imagine it having problems in high wind. The windows worked well for ventilation. No condensation even with 4 people. A bit on the heavy and bulky side for my taste.

Untitled ReviewI have considered that the strength of the Oval Intention was due to its design and the fact that it has 6 poles. Strength is related to "crosses" with the poles, and I'll spare you the permutations, so that we can all conclude that there are many more "crossing" possibilities with 6 poles rather than 4 poles. Much to my delight, I found that TNF has 2 new tents, this spring, with more than 4 poles. One of them is this Expedition 36!! It advertizes 6 poles, but the one is for the kitchen vestibule, but that still leaves 5 structural poles !! Additionally this new tent has many of the fine features that I cherish in the Expedition 25 TNF that I also own. There are 2 doors (I don't think that I will ever want to own another tent with only 1 door) and a very funtional cooking vestibule !! The rain fly can pitch without the tent, and there are tie-downs galore!!! Additionally this new Exped. 36 has ceiling vents and a "window" in the rain fly.
It LOOKS to be a fine tent. But in Truth, that's about all that I know about it. If you know more, please pass on the information.
I really wish that I could have the Oval Intention repaired and returned....but perhaps it is Time to Move On. That tent stood up, sooo many times, while others blew down....it provided such a Wonderful, high quality shelter, while Horrible conditions Howled outside, just inches away.....and if that tent could talk it would just breath hard..... THANK YOU NORTH FACE.
