The North Face Assault 2 Futurelight tent 2025

Engineered with FUTURELIGHT™ technology, the Assault 2 is the pinnacle of waterproof breathable tents

Designed using what we learned from the Advanced Mountain Kit Assault 2, it’s engineered for high-altitude mountaineering and extreme expeditions. And the proof’s in the construction. It’s made from durable, recycled nylon with a water-repellent coating. Carbon fibre Easton Syclone™ poles are lightweight and strong for their weight and can withstand blustery winds. And thanks to internal poles and the easy pitch X tent design, it's quick and simple to set up, even when the weather isn't behaving.

Breathable
The unique fabric technology allows air to pass through the fabric, helping to regulate body temperature and keep you cooler for longer.

Waterproof
This fabric provides an impenetrable barrier to rain and snow for guaranteed dryness.
