The North Face is a master in crafting outdoor equipment and the brand's latest outdoor project is the Geodome 4. The Geodome 4 is a circular, spacious tent crafted to specifically withstand nature's harsh elements, while delivering a comfortable space for users. To battle nature's worst, the tent is coated with a dual-layer water-resistant outer that can combat winds of up to 60 miles per hour.
The Geodome 4 has enough space to fit a total of four people and the spherical shape gives it a lot of height as well. The components of the tent include five main poles and one equator pole for simple packing and setting up. Currently, the Geodome 4 is only available on the Japanese North Face market.
