Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond HiLight 2-Person 3-Season Tent uses a combination of ultra-breathable EPIC and ultralight SilNylon fabrics to achieve a super-low 2lb 10oz weight. The real story, however, is the strength of the HiLight Tent. A simple top pole doubles the structural strength of this Black Diamond tent. With 14.5sq ft of floor space, the HiLight Tent provides a snug shelter for two backpackers or a roomy shelter for one. The Full-length side door, steep walls, and high ceiling increases comfort if you find yourself tent-bound in a storm."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"A spacious one-person lounge or a cozy two-person assault-style tent, the new Black Diamond HiLight Tent is a larger version of the OneShot and uses the same two-and-a-half pole design for steep, water-shedding walls and a wide, high ceiling. The full side-opening door has a built-in no-see-um mesh window, and coupled with another window on the opposite side, the HiLight offers excellent ventilation. The canopy is built with highly water-resistant and breathable EPIC fabric, and the floor is double silicone coated nylon ripstop. For keeping track of the little things, the HiLight has two interior net pockets. Black Diamond HiLight Specs: Capacity (persons): 2 Weight: 3 lb. 2 oz. Dimensions: 81" x 50" x 42" x 40" Floor Area: 27 sq. ft. Optional Vestibule Area: 13 sq. ft. Freestanding? Yes Poles: 2.5 Doors: 1"

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond HiLight Shelter (Fall 2009) The HiLight Shelter by Black Diamond has a sturdy architecture. Steep walls and a wide ceiling create generous living space while the lean floor plan allows you to pitch it on couch-sized ledges. The mesh/fabric side-opening door is covered by a wide awning, promoting cross-ventilation and increasing its structural integrity as does its two and a half pole design. This architecture provides twice the structural strength over a basic cross-pole design, giving you shelter from full-on mountain conditions.Features: Tent and poles: 1.18 kg (2 lb 10 oz) Packaged: 1.42 kg (3 lb 2 oz) Vestibule: 454 g (1 lb) estimated Ground cloth: 270 g (10 oz)Dimensions: 206 cm x 127 cm x 102 cm (81" x 50" x 40") estimatedPacked Size: 15 cm x 23 cm (6" x 9")Area: 2 m2 (21.25 sq ft)"

"This is a truly great tent but it does have its limitations. This is not a tall person's tent, I'm 5'8" and it fits me great but if you're over six feet tall then go with the BD Lighthouse. Also this isn't a tent you can lie in and gaze up at the stars."

"The lightest most durable 2 person tent I have ever used. Just over 2.5 lbs. Absolutely easy to set up. Secure with just 4 stakes and absolutely stormproof. Virtually no condensation in Louisiana summer weather, and it's a single wall tent. The best tent I've ever bought. I also have a Mountain Hardwear Trango Assault and a Sierra Designs Comet."
