From Backcountry.com:
"The Bibler I-Tent is super light, super strong, waterproof, breathable and easy to set up. The 2-person I-TENT 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 I-TENT weighs an astonishing 4 pounds, 11 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 bending naturally into the eaves of the roof. The result is maximum strength and more headroom per square foot of floor space than any other tent. The single piece bathtub floor has no seams. The door toggles to the side when open. The no-see-um net door is on the interior to prevent the massive ice build-up which occurs on exterior net doors of other brands in winter. Each I-TENT comes with two weatherproof zippered vents at the very peak of the tent to draw out rising moist air. In addition, a hooded vent over the door and a unique covered vent at the bottom of the door provide flow-through ventilation, even in poor weather. Two net pockets hold odds and ends, and it is fully seam taped. Sets up easily in under two minutes."

From REI:
"REI Members: Save 20% on One Full-Priced Item. Ends 3/30/08 Code: MEMDEAL This two-person, single wall, extreme mountain tent is lightweight, super strong, waterproof and easy to set up. Ideal in all high-altitude conditions, this tent can be pitched on ledges that are no larger than your sofa! Two equal-size Easton aluminum poles fit inside the tent eliminating pole sleeves; setup is a breeze from inside the tent. Poles are held in place with Twistlock Pole Ties which are easy to work while wearing gloves or mitts. Walls are steep and floor shape is simple, thus optimizing living space, eliminating wasted space and increasing headroom. Precise catenary cut makes tent skin tight on the poles and quiet in heavy winds; door awning is designed to remain quiet, even in a gale. Floor material is finely woven high-denier nylon taffeta laminated to a strong waterproof film; coating is on the inside to protect from wear and tear. Tent interior is pale yellow for a bright, natural look; floors are black so they dry fast, even in cold weather. Adjustable weatherproof vents keeps the warm air inside the tent in the winter and provide cool airflow in the summer, even during a rainstorm. Door zippers remain velvety smooth, resist wind and are treated with silicone to prevent water wicking and the inevitable freeze. Door toggles to the side when open and no-see-em mesh is placed on the interior to prevent ice build-up. Two interior net pockets hold odds and ends. Three-point equalizing guyline tie-downs provide security in extreme winds. Multiple light-reflecting tie-downs are helpful in the dark. Designed with as few seams as possible, all are fully factory taped to create a completely leakproof environment; Seam Grip provides extra protection. Seams are all sewn with super heavy-duty nylon thread and every stress point is reinforced for extra security."

At first I was a little wary of the single wall design, but it absolutely proved itself when it stood up to a torrential downpour on the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, which is not exactly what the tent was designed for, but it did kick ass through."

In weather around the freezing point you will get a lot of condensation on the poles that will make a puddle in each corner.
Again in the same situation of high humidity and near freezing temperature (especially with not much wind), much humidity will also develop on the inside walls."
