Here's what other sites are saying:

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"A single-wall tent built for expedition use, the Bibler Eldorado is lightweight, incredibly strong, windproof and waterproof. While the I-Tent is 208 centimeters (82 in) in length, the Eldorado is 221 centimeters (87 in) long for bigger bodies or more gear. The canopy is built with waterproof and breathable ToddTex, the bathtub floor is polyurethane-laminated nylon and all the seams are factory taped. Its single end-door utilizes hybrid single-wall construction with a no-see-um mesh panel that gives an open-air feeling in nice weather. With two equal-size aluminum poles that fit inside, it’s easy to pitch from inside and on narrow ledges. Bibler Eldorado Specs: Capacity (persons): 2 Weight: 4 lb. 8 oz. Dimensions: 87" x 48" x 42" Floor Area: 30.8 sq.ft Optional Vestibule Area: 9 sq. ft. Freestanding? Yes Poles: 2 Doors: 1"

From Backcountry.com:
"Super light, super strong, waterproof, breathable and easy to set up, the 2-person Bibler Eldorado was originally designed for the extreme mountain climber. This tent can be pitched on ledges that are no larger than your couch! Yet any outdoor adventurer will appreciate the design and features that make it the ideal tent at altitude. The Eldorado weighs an astonishing 4 pounds, 8 ounces, yet rolls up small enough to fit into the side pocket of many internal frame packs. Two poles crisscross inside the single tent wall, eliminating hard-to-thread sleeves, and ending naturally into the eaves of the roof. The result is maximum strength and more headroom per square foot of floor space than most tents."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of Bibler Fitzroy TentWhen all you need from a tent in the backcountry is a good solid roof above you and a waterproof floor below you, the Bibler Eldorado Standard Tent will work in a cinch. As with many of the Bibler tents, it's made with To"

"If you want to stay DRY buy this tent! No water. No condensation, save for tiny, tiny drops in the poles on only the worst days. I've camped in snowstorms, thunderstorms, high winds, you name it, you stay dry!

I've also used it in the high winds of Glacier National Park on 10 feet of snow."

"I collect tents and also have a TNF Mtn 24. The MTN 24 is more rigid but weighs 8. 5lbs, has integral vestibule, and is a WET tent. I don't always use the vestibule in the Eldo and it adds 1. 5 pounds.

The Eldo is the driest tent I own--I have never had any condensation at all except a few wisps of frost on the poles."

"Have used this tent extensively in Alaska, and agree with most of the comments on the other review here. Advantages are light weight and ease of set up (if you don't bother with Velcro tabs on poles, which aren't needed if no wind).

Disadvanges: lack of strength in high wind."

"The Eldorado is a single wall (Gore-Tex type fabric) tent that has gotten good reviews and is lighter than most four-season winter tents. The poles go inside the tent and are secured by 13 velcro tabs. The tent has no integral vestibule, but Bibler offers two add-on vestibules, the 1 lb."
