Customer Reviews The North Face Stormbreak 3

The perfect tent for summer camping! Incredibly durable and will stay in one spot even in windy conditions. Very easy to carry around and set up. I'm very happy with this purchase!

Great tent at a great price. Can't beat the customer service

Great product I would recommend

I got this tent two years ago and have taken it backpacking and car camping in the mountains and on the beach. I use it with my two kids. I am 6,01 185 athletic build and my kids are currently 15 and 11, 5'6, and 5,2 respectively. We are all on the tall, slim body type. So use that for a qualifier. Relatively light for the money, very easy set up (my kids now do that). We sleep in mummy bags so room is not really a factor. We all got and sleep well. It even has plenty of room. It has held up perfectly in heavy rain ( with foot print) and wind. It does get a significant amount of condensation with the rain fly on, but that's expected. Great buy, highly recommend

Bought it to go camping with my 2 kids. It's perfect for us, and very practical.

Quick and easy setup. Versatile vestibule! Two huge doors and lots of pockets! What's not to love.

I great tent! ample floorspace for two ... but probably a bit tight for three. I use it as a one person tent. ample floorspace to accommodate my inflatable twin mattress and other stuff excellent headroom, an unusual feature for a small tent ... I can sit up inside with no difficulty very easy to setup excellent airflow ... even with the rainfly fully installed if using as a one person tent, there is ample space inside for storing gear other convenient features such as - an overhead loop to hang a light - gear storage pockets - easy open and close of both the insect netting and rainfly entrances - ample space for keeping gear dry outside the tent under the rainfly entrances - multiple ways to arrange rainfly entrances light enough to use on a backpacking trip ... around 6 lbs ... which includes the rainfly and footprint an excellent option for car camping

Love this tent! Super easy to build. Just took it on a backpacking trip. It is too large for just one person to carry in a backpack but if you split it up with one person it is fine.

Kept checking the website hoping this tent would come back in stock. Only mid-size tent option that includes a vestibule. Well built, should last many years. Not 100% waterproof, but gets the job done. Light enough to take backpacking if wanted.

Ok so for two people this is comfy. Used a double decker air mattress that left no headroom but was still so comfy. If you sleep on a pad or ground you will have much more room, could ask for a bit more height but otherwise we love this thing!

I purchased the SB3 to have ample room for 2 adults in the tent for 10 nights straight at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. We experienced rain for 4 days straight as well as a severe storm with hail that covered the ground. Despite getting precipitation 9/10 days, we had no problems staying dry with the proper use of a ground cloth. I like the storage nets in the corners for holding small items as well as the loops at the top to run paracord for hanging things inside the tent. I do love the tent, but there are areas of improvement. The fly zippers tend to catch on the flap a bit when wet, which is frustrating. It's easy to fix, just annoying. While the fly does a great job of keeping us dry, it seems to stay quite wet instead of beading and absorb water to double in weight. Not a big deal if car camping, but carrying a 3lb wet rainfly isn't fun. Lastly, the stakes are heavy. I replaced them with lightweight aluminum ones before the trip to shave weight, but I was backpacking focused and split the tent with another person.

I used this tent on a kayak trip on the au sable river, it is the best tent I have ever used.

Awesome tent! Recently went to Acadia National Park and the tent handled the rain, cold, and wind perfectly. I highly recommend this tent.

Love the easy setup and two separate doors. The design of the fly over the doors could be improved.

Used this once in Zion and it worked great! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is car camping.

I use it on my Ranger Power Boat and I camp on islands so I can have peace.

Easy to set up. Great for two people.

smaller than you would expect for 3 people. I am 5'11" and my head and feet both touched the walls of this tent when I lie down. Once the rain fly is on there is little to no ventilation when the fly doors are zipped shut. The zippers for the rain fly doors will open or close about one inch before getting snagged and caught up on the rain fly seem. Constant headache when getting out in the morning and closing the fly at night. Easy enough to setup but too small for me. Looks cool, does not function very well.

I purchased this last spring in hopes it would last a few summers. It's a great tent, ideal size, simple design, but it literally ripped and wore itself away. The flooring had a massive tear due to what looked like mis-stitching. I reached out for help or warranty advice and none was given other than ship the item in and wait for them the determine (6-10 weeks). I was even sadder to see it as one of the only TNF options to replace it. Needs to be an upgraded material design or increased quality assurance.
