The North Face VE-25
Christopher:
The North Face VE-25 - I borrowed this tent from a friend of mine because, at the time, I only had the $5 tent. This is a great tent. It sleeps three comfortably, has two doors and two large vestibules and great ventilation. Weighing in at over 10 lbs. makes it one of the heaviest tents I've used, but dividing the parts between you and your hiking partners makes it easy to carry.
Upside:
Very roomy; large vestibules for gear storage or cooking in inclement weather; excellent ventilation makes it a great warm weather tent as well.
Downside:
Very heavy; large footprint makes it difficult to set up in tight spaces.
