Here's what other sites are saying:
From Backcountry.com:
"Sure you can use any 4-season tent at the height of summer, but many of them bottle up heat and don't have enough vents to keep you cool. Eureka's Alpenlite 2-Person, 4-Season Tent has 2 roof vents, 4 wall vents, and a door vent that makes it versatile enough to use all year and they really mean all year. In extreme conditions, clips and post and grommet corner attachments promise a fast set up. The bombproof fly locks out cold air, snow, and sleet. Storage features include 4 pockets, 4 gear loft loops, and 1 flashlight loop so you can stay organized."

"Great tent - no problems at all. Can be used year round. Could be a little lighter but the double wall construction keeps it warm. Some skeptics are slowly growing warmer towards this tent after sleeping in it. Cannot wait to test it out in 60mpg+ winds."

"I received my mountain tent. It's quite heavy duty weighing in at 3. 4 kg, but it's one of the lightest mountain expedition tents in the world, built for high altitude extreme conditions.
It's made of a 6 pole a-frame const, and has 2 zipped vents on top, 4 on the sides, and 2 on the front and rear! It can be used for hot summers as well as expeditions."

"Perfect! Nothing more I can say! but just too heavy for extended trips especially if dealing with rough terrain."

"This tent has withstood some serious rain. The first trip out it began raining as I began to set it up so hard the visibility went to nil (about 30 feet or so) immediately. After I set the tent up I had to first dry the inside out were water got in it during setup."

"Had this tent for four years. It is a little tight for two people and the headroom could be a little more. However, any increase would result in more weight so those things are minor. Mine weighs out at 7lb 4oz which is light for a 4-season tent."

"Agreed. I've had this tent for almost two years. Spent monsoon weekends in it dry. It stood up like a brick wall in tough winds, and blizzard conditions (northern MN). A "just enough" vestibule is a sweet kicker to the deal too. It's plenty lightweight, you can leave out the ties and a couple stakes for most trips."

"I love this tent. I have used it in 85 degree weather, a cold driving rainstorm, and in a blizzard. In each case this tent was comfortable, dry, and had great airflow. I hope Eureka keeps up this kind of work.
The only drawback--kind of tight for two people."

"Although some say this tent is small for two, i sort of agree, I was in the ADK highpeaks @ marcy dam with three of my pals. It was pouring the whole day. We hiked down from a peak to camp for the night before leaving to the lodge. The tent was incredibly easy to set up in the dark."

"This is a very light, compact 2 person, 4 season tent. It is quite small and the two people better be very friendly; I generally use it for myself when soloing, because I am a big guy and it gives me just enough space to bring my pack inside. It has a moderately sized front vestibule and a small rear vestibule (just big enough for a couple of pairs of boots)."

"After many happy years (25) with my trusty Timberline, I upgraded to a newer model.
This Alpenlite is a true bargain. I found it on sale (reduced almost $100) at NORTHERN MOUNTAIN SUPPLY on the internet. It is extremely light and durable. I've already used it on trips to the mountains and deserts of So."
