Product Description

The new Vario 23 is a roomy, two-person tent combining both single and double-walled construction for added stability. Weighing less than two kg., the Vario is freestanding and easy to pitch even in the wildest weather. Thanks to the Spectrum lift technology, the Vario boasts significantly enhanced ventilation capacity, by permitting airflow at the top of the tent. Of course, a fully taped ultra light floor and a seam-sealed canopy keep the elements outside. (By The North Face)

Features
