Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"This 2-person, 3-season airy backpacking tent offers tremendous stability and ventilation--well-suited for hot, windy or humid conditions. Features plenty of mesh for ventilation and stargazing, plus 3 high exhaust vents in the rainfly which has a clear window to let you check the weather. Front and rear vestibules provide weather-protected storage space; 2 doors allow convenient entry/exit from either side. Waterproof, full-coverage rainfly fends off precipitation and inverted zippers on the outside doors shed weather from vestibules. Continuous pole sleeves and locking pole tips provide quick set-up and 3-pole pitch design provides weather-shedding stability. Heavy-duty bathtub floors eliminate a ground-level weak point and are polyurethane-coated to maintain dryness with minimal weight. Four inside mesh pockets allow you to keep your stuff organized and within arms reach. Livable colors: sunny yellow for a bright environment in stormy weather, purple floors dry quick and dark exhaust vents help dissipate condensation. All stress areas are reinforced and finished with round edges to distribute tension over more material. Intelligent™ guyline is highly visible at twilight and with your headlamp on; impossible to miss. Closeout."

"Four stars, not five, only because of a few minor things. To start with the drawbacks, it is heavy for a backpacking tent, and small for a car camping tent (I do both). It's not easy to set up alone, because the poles appear to be too long for the fabric - once the tent's been up for a while, though, the fabric stretches just enough to get the poles in the grommets."

"Okay here is the skinny...this is a great tent and I bought mine on clearance from REI. Lots of guy points to secure it in the wind. Neat colors. Very well ventilated. Compacts down pretty small. Plenty of room for the tall guys. Neato chess/checkerboard printed on the floor.

The downside... all sleeves and no clips, middle pole is a bit tricky to set up."

"This is one great tent!

PROS: very stable even in the strongest winds, great ventilation, durable, waterproof (but sealed mine anyway), window in the fly, very large floorspace for only 2 people (plenty room for 2 and my Rottweiler), the 2ns small vestubule at the head of the tent is great for keeping something within reach (and you don't even have to get out of your sleeping bag)."
