About the original
The North Face Stormbreak 3 is a three-person, three-season freestanding tent built around a two-pole aluminum hubbed-pole structure with color-coded clips for fast pitching. It uses a 68D polyester taffeta fly with a 1,500mm polyurethane coating, mesh ventilation panels on the canopy, dual doors with vestibules, and packs to roughly 24 by 7 inches at 6 pounds 14 ounces. The North Face was founded in 1966 in San Francisco by Douglas and Susie Tompkins as a climbing and camping retail shop in North Beach. The Stormbreak has anchored the brand's entry-level tent line for over a decade. The Supreme SS18 collab retailed at $328 in a box-logo print colorway.
