Commuting is sometimes boring. Not with the North Face Bandwidth backpack it isn't! There's lots of space to store all of the things that keep you from becoming bored: a convenient organizer for your books and music player, a super cushy laptop compartment, plus the same carrying capacity as the Northface Yavapai, Vault and Jester backpacks, so if you need extra stuff to keep you from being bored, you can take it with you too. In addition, the Bandwidth backpack has reflective elements on it so people can see you in low light conditions and a cool bungee cord on the outside for attaching a jacket or a helmet, because though it's important to protect your laptop, it's probably more important to protect your head (so wear that helmet!!).
Features:
* Padded laptop compartment with mesh divider suspension
* Front pocket with smaller secondary organizer
* Front compartment with organizer pocket/pen pocket
* Comfortable stitched foam backpanel
* Removable hipbelt
* #10 YKK® zippers on critical construction features
* Reflective elements
* Bungee cord on pack face
* Sizes: One size
* Avg Weight: 2 lbs 4 oz (1020 g)
* Volume 1850 in3 (30 liters)
* Fabric: Sabre 6, Sabre 12
* Dimensions: 18" x 14" x 5" (46 cm x 35 cm x 22 cm)
Advantages: Lightweight, robust, colour coded poles, reflective guy ropes Disadvantages: It's not true 4-season, small cooking area, lack of headroom
...I bought a Tadpole 23 three years ago and use it for wild-country back-packing, rock-climbing and winter mountaineering.
It is an ultra-lightweight tent that weighs less than 2kg, designed for two people, in three-season conditions (However, I have used it for winter mountaineering in the UK, which it is fine for if you have a good sleeping bag and air mattress).
It does all the standard tent stuff - like keeping the wind and rain off you and your kit whilst allowing you to cook and sleep, but is much more sophisicated than a standard tent. When you first see it up, it looks a bit flimsy, but it is actually very resistant to the wind and The NorthFace have made every effort to reduce its weight as much as possible without compromising on the strength.
It is easy to put up on your own (even in the dark when you're tired) due...

Advantages: Great wind resistance and great ultralight fly and footprint only pitching Disadvantages: seamtape on the fly peeled/crumbled and inside of the fly became sticky
...I bought my Tadpole 23 in 2005. I've been camping for more than ten years and owned and used many tents, including the 1999 Tadpole model. For me this tent is emblematic of the decline of The NorthFace's quality. I used it only one time and one time alone last year. When I inspected it before an upcoming trip I found the inside of the tentfly extremely sticky and the seamtape started to crumble and peel. This didn't happen to the other two tents in my closet. I put it away clean, dry and folded neatly and I can't think of a plausible explanation for it other than that the materials were hi-tech but of inferior quality. I also had problems with two other NorthFace products i had bought along with this tent: the Patrol Pack Duo and the Venture Hyvent Jacket....

I presume that most readers will be familiar with the other Guild Wars games, Prophecies (the original), Factions and Nightfall. Just a quick word for those who are not, Guild Wars is a MMORG, somewhat similar to World of Warcraft, but without... more
In my humble opinion this series never received the critical acclaim it deserved. With superb acting, particularly from Christopher Eccleston, and a deeply moving and interesting story line, it was one of the best BBC productions for many years.
