Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"The Alps Mountaineering Zephyr 3 tent offers plenty of space, ventilation and protection from the elements for up to 3 backpackers—all at an affordable price. Polyester rainfly and floor are urethane coated, with factory-sealed seams for waterproofness. Mesh tent canopy offers great ventilation, preventing condensation from collecting in the tent. 2 lightweight aircraft alloy aluminum poles set up easily with pole clips that snap in place. 2 doors allow convenient entry and exit, eliminating the need to crawl over others to get in and out. 2 vestibules provide space to stash gear and also serve as guyout points that stabilize the tent when the weather gets a little nasty. Rainfly attaches securely to the tent with buckles and adjustable webbing. Included gear loft provides interior space to stash a headlamp, glasses and other items for easy access. Stakes and guylines are included. Special buy."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"When camping, do you ever wake up in the night from a dream that you and your tent-mates are three sardines packed in your own juices? Maybe you should invest in a more breathable tent-like the Alps Mountaineering Zephyr 3 Person, 3 Season Tent."

From GearX.com:
"The Alps Mountaineering Zephyr is a simple 2 pole freestanding tent which features 2 doors and 2 vestibles. The Zephyr tent has great ventilation with entire mesh walls. The Alps Mountaineering Zephyr uses aircraft alloy aluminum poles that are strong and lightweight. Assembly is really easy with the tent clips that just snap in place over the poles. The polyester fly and nylon floor are urethane coated, factory sealed seams for maximum weatherproofness. The door placed on the end makes it easy getting in and out of the tent. There is also 1 vestibule that is great to store your boots and extra gear. The fly buckles to the tent, offering a much more secure attachment when compared to elastic cord. The improved design allows for great head room with more room to sit up. A mesh storage pocket is included for organizing your stuff. Stakes and guy ropes are included.

"I've spent 5 nights in mine so far, 3 in moderate to heavy rain. For the price, this can't be beat. I was looking at the REI 3-man Quarterdome, but I saved about $200 by going with this tent at a claimed 3 oz weight penalty. It was totally worth it."
