The Geodome 4 is a circular, [spacious tent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-land-nest-shelter) crafted to specifically [withstand nature's harsh elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-anchor-tent), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durston-xdome-2). Currently, the Geodome 4 is only available on the Japanese North Face market.
