The vestibule is pretty small on this one...I'd recommend just laying your packs on top of the boots. There aren't many tents that you can store the packs AND get in and out. When backpacking you'd normally just want to store your packs there when you are hitting the sack. The other option is just leave the packs outside, or in a tree, they'll survive.

The North Face Mountain 25 Tent: 2-Person 4-Season

June 4, 2012

Most tents don't come with enough stakes to cover EVERY tie down point and floor attatchment points. So it's really up to you to know where you think you may want areas staked down. Personally, for this tent with the fly on you obviously need a few for the vestibules, after that if its windy you might as well hit most of the tie downs higher and on the side of the fly. Whereas, if its not so windy, you might as well stake down the floor to create more room inside the tent. Hope that helps.

Very comfortable pants, even for just wearing around town after a long day of riding. My only complaint is "waterproofness". It seems that after having worn them a few days they started to hold water. Not really drenched to the core or anything, but definitely not keeping all the moisture in control. Either way I still wear them and they work just fine.

Rating for this product: 5 June 3, 2012

I bought this jacket to use for snowboarding...great buy!! The insulation is just enough to keep you warm with a baselayer and a light midlayer. If it gets to warm ya just unzip the pit vents and youre good to go. My only complaint is that the velcro cuff closure straps broke on the left side...may have been because I use them allot and am pretty rough with them, but either way they should be able to take some abuse. But thanks to backcountry, if that happens just exchange the jacket for a new one! Bottom line, this is a solid jacket and I'd highly recommend it.

Rating for this product: 5 June 1, 2012

Had these pants for one season so far and they are amazing! Used them for everything from ice climbing to snowboarding and alpine climbing. They are very durable, comfortable, and obviously water/wind proof. My only small complaint is the suspenders...they work, but just feel awkward to wear. But like I said, just a small complaint. One thing I particularly liked is the fact that they fit over my snowboarding boots even when zipped all the way down. This is perfect for backcountry boarding because nobody wants to hike in actual snowboarding pants...comfy but just too baggy. Anyways, great pants, get 'em!!

I first used them while boarding at Loveland Ski area in Colorado...the temp outside was 3 degrees and the windchill was -18 degrees, despite that my hands stayed perfectly warm, even on the lift!!
