Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Black Diamond built the Oasis Tent for groups of three who want to shave weight on long trips but like the comfort of a double-wall tent. Thanks to SilNylon materials and DAC Featherlite poles, this tent makes the cut for nearly any trip into the backcountry. The Black Diamond Oasis Tent also makes a great pick for extended stays in the Valley (or your own local playground) when you want a little extra space for waiting out the storms. The full-coverage fly ensures you don't feel a drop of water, and mesh walls keep you cool when the temperatures rise."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Black Diamond Oasis is a double-walled three-person, three-season ultralight tent. These tents are a spacious, lightweight, strong and affordable double-wall tent. Choose Mirage for two-person shelter or the larger Oasis to accommodate another friend. These tents are fast and easy to pitch with external clips and a fast-pitch pole hub. For easy living anywhere, the Oasis is free-standing and can stand up to tough weather conditions.Black Diamond Oasis Specs: Capacity (persons): 3 Weight: 6 lb. 2 oz.

"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Three-Person Oasis Tent (Fall 2009) The Three-Person Oasis Tent by Black Diamond is the optimal shelter for gram-counting backpackers and climbers. The Oasis has double doors on both the tent and integrated vestibule, providing easy entry/exit and access to all of your gear.

"Voted Top Ultralight 3-Person tent- Backpacker Magazine's Gear of the Year Awards 2009The lightest, strongest double-wall tents Black Diamond makes, the two-person Mirage and three-person Oasis are the optimal shelter for gram-counting backpackers and climbers. The Mirage's integrated vestibule is designed with a unique side angle, thereby keeping gear nearby and accessible but clear of the doorway.

"I'm not sure what this other reviewer is talking about. pPerhaps he got a lemon (?). I have not experienced any of the problems or shortcomings s/he mentions. This is a really great tent and I've owned more than 6 backpacking tents over the last 10 years (and used two others that belonged to friends) and this is MY FAVORITE."

"On initial appearance, this tent looks very nice, 2. 7 kg weight, very roomy for 2, good access, easy to setup up. The 5 pole design is nice and gives for a very tight frame.

Why I've given this tent 1 star, is that the first night I used it in the mountains of Western Australia (not very big about 1000m/3000F), it was turned into a complete bin job."
