The North Face's new 2-meter dome is an expedition-ready base camp tent that adopts the geodesic structure of American structural engineer Richard Buckminster Fuller. Its design, with multiple crossing poles, balances wind resistance and living space.

Despite being a large tent, it also boasts excellent ease of setup. The upper part utilizes a sleeve structure, while the lower part employs a hook connection, resulting in a shortened setup process.

The origin of the name, "two-meter class height," is impressive. The interior height is set at 211 cm, providing a space where even adult males can stand up and enjoy comfortably. By structuring the walls to rise upward, it enables a wide use of space inside the tent.

There are two entrances at the front and back, and three ventilation windows on the sides, with an adjustable ventilation feature at the top of the flysheet. Indeed, in a base camp where many people spend time, ease of entry and exit and consideration for ventilation cannot be overlooked.

It also accommodates use as storage and a dirt floor.

Inside the tent, there are eight mesh pockets for storing small items. It also features hanging loops at the top, allowing not only for placing gear but also for hanging and organizing it. The storage capability that effectively utilizes the internal space is also one of its attractions.

The floor sheet can be removed, allowing for use like a dirt floor. The entrance can be opened with hooks and Velcro, enabling entry and exit while wearing crampons. This detail is distinctive, designed with use in harsh environments, including mountaineering, in mind.

The included staff bag features a shoulder harness, making it easy to carry on your back. The opening is a large D-shape, designed with consideration for the easy packing and unpacking of your tent.

The exterior of the bag is also equipped with a daisy chain. After setting up the tent, it can be used as a duffel bag, making it not just a storage bag but also useful for transporting luggage on-site. Despite weighing approximately 22.61 kg, which is typical for a large tent, it has been designed with transportation in mind.
