Why We Love This Deal
The REI Labor Day sale is on from now through Sept. 1. Deals on top products from Kuhl, Fjallraven, and REI’s house brand, among tons of other hiking gear and camping equipment, are ripe for the picking, but one that shoppers will likely be most excited to see is this tent from The North Face at 25% off.
REI is selling The North Face’s Stormbreak 3 Tent for just $172 while this sale is on. Even more portable than the brand’s popular Wawona series, campers and backpackers who want quick maneuverability and carefree movement need this tent in their gear kit.
The North Face Stormbreak 3 Tent, $172 (was $230) at REI
What Shoppers Should Know
- Size: 88-by-65 inches with a peak height of 46 inches
- Sleeps: 3 campers
- Color Options: Gray and green
- Minimum Trail Weight: 5 pounds, 15 ounces
- Doors: 2
- Best Use Case: This tent is designed for a minimalist backpacking excursion.
This is a 2-door, 3-person tent that’s perfect for a minimalist backpacking trip. With a minimal trail weight under 6 pounds and a packaged weight just under 7 pounds, the Stormbreak 3 is easy to move around and get where you want to go.
Just because it’s lightweight doesn’t make it tiny or unfunctional. It has a high-ventilation body along with a seamed canopy and floor to keep things dry, and it pitches easily. Plus, it’s quite big, sleeps up to 3 people, and has a floor area of nearly 40 square feet. The tent comes in a gray and green coloration, both of which are available on sale at this time.

What Shoppers Are Saying
REI states that 84% of shoppers recommend this tent, and one reviewer said it all in a single sentence: “It’s all function and no fuss.” They also said, “The rain fly is well-designed and held up great during the early morning rain,” and “I got a lot of compliments!” from having the tent.
Another shopper commented on its maneuverability. “This tent is fantastic! Easy to set up, and it’s a great size for two people (6’3” and 5’8”). It’s also super light and packs down small, so it’s great for traveling on a plane and backpacking.”
The North Face’s Stormbreak 3 Tent is now $172, but only while the REI Labor Day Sale is on, now through Sept 1.
