best north face backpack reviews image
CanadianPa
I have looked at alot of tent reviews and this one keeps coming up, but the review mostly talks about how well it does in snow storms. I was wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge as to how well this tent would do in HEAVY VIOLENT THUNDERSTORMS. I'm most interested in how well it does against rain since my previous tent leaked like a shiv during a Canadian downpour.
Thanks

The best place for your question is under "Camping."
If you buy a good class of tent, factory-sealed, then you will not have any problems with rain.
I love my MSR Hubba Hubba, three-season, two-person, $300, and my Big Agnes Fly Creek, three-season, one-person, $300. Since you are looking at a very high-quality, four-season tent, $600, in a dome-design and full rain fly, you are making an excellent choice. Low-profile and durable components make your choice a good one. The only drawback that I see is the weight, 10 pounds. Even under severe conditions, I prefer to backpack with only about 2 pounds of tent per person.
If you study the reviews, the North Face VE 25 is good to over 100 MPH in heavy rainstorms.

Is a North Face backpack worth it, and which should I get?

I live in Oakland, but can go to San Francisco, I heard they're cheaper in outlets, but I can't find any.

The North Face makes a decent pack. But if your looking for a backpacking/hiking pack, the fit is by far more important than the name or logo on it. Take some time, visit a few gear shops and try on several packs. Different packs fit different folks. You can visit the link below to review how to fit/size a pack. It also has links to manufacturer sizing charts. See the " A Guide To Fitting & Sizing Your Backpack" section. That way you don't look like a newbie when you show up at REI ... and maybe you'll know more than the salesperson.
