From Campmor:
"The Big Agnes Emerald Mountain 2 SL is a superlight roomy tent for 2 people. It has shockcorded aluminum poles that are joined together by hubs to create 1 pole set that is unparalleled for ease of set up. It has two attached storage vestibules that can be used for excess or wet gear. There is an optional additional vestibule (#27736) available that will provide even more storage space. The all no-see-um mesh body allows cooling air into the tent minimizing condensation and allowing for great nighttime views weather permitting. When weather does not permit stargazing the full coverage fly is up to the task of repelling the worst weather. Fly vents allow air circulation even when the rain is pouring and the fly is closed.

From Backcountry.com:
"The lightweight Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL2 Tent features mesh sides to let in cool mountain breezes and a rugged rain fly for stormy weather.Outside Magazine loved this tent's functional design so much, they gave it their Gear of the Year award. Eco-friendly tent poles hold up the two-person Emerald Mountain SL tent. In order to reduce air and water pollution, tent-pole-making company DAC created a method that requires significantly less of the two toxic chemicals necessary to making tent poles. The result is super-lightweight poles you can feel good about pitching your Big Agnes tent with. Enjoy gobs of fresh air when you pitch this tent without the fly. If a storm rolls in, the waterproof fly and tent floor will keep you dry. Two vestibules-one by each door-gives you plenty of room for backpacks, muddy boots, and rain gear."

Reviewed by onelastpiano, Feb 21, 2008

"This tent is incredible! Two doors on either side let you slip out for an early morning piss without waking your neighbor. My friend and I tested this tent out the day after I got it. We are both very broad well fed southern boys and never even touched shoulders all night. When it comes to weight to space ratio this is as good as it gets."
