About this product
The L.L.Bean Northern Guide Tent accommodates four people across 60 square feet of floor space, with tent floor dimensions of 7 feet 2 inches by 8 feet 4 inches and a generous peak height of 5 feet 9 inches. The fly is constructed from 75D Ripstop Polyester with a 1500mm PU coating, while the floor uses a super-tough 4-ounce Oxford Nylon with the same 1500mm PU coating, and all seams are fully sealed for reliable rain protection. A rear vestibule adds 11.9 square feet of covered storage, functioning as a mud room to keep wet boots and gear separated from the sleeping area. Dual doors and roof vents promote airflow throughout the interior. The lightweight aluminum frame keeps packed weight at approximately 17 pounds 6 ounces (7,711 grams), and the tent packs into a duffle-style stuff sack. YKK zippers are used throughout, adding durability to the hardware. The Pine Forest colorway suits a range of outdoor environments.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the L.L.Bean Northern Guide 4-Person Tent for its sturdy weather resistance, near-stand-up peak height of 5'9", and easy setup. The rear vestibule (or "mud room") earns repeated appreciation for keeping wet gear out of the sleeping area, and the aluminum poles and YKK zippers are noted as quality construction highlights. The tent is widely regarded as a reliable car-camping choice. The most common complaints center on ventilation: multiple reviewers flag the absence of a mesh screen on the rear door as a notable design flaw that makes the tent stuffy in warm weather. A few buyers also report isolated leaking through floor seams, and the 17-plus-pound weight is flagged as a drawback for anyone considering portaging or backpacking. Some feel the current version represents a step down from earlier L.L.Bean tent quality.
