Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Built to weather the storm at any altitude, the Exped Orion Tent features Exped's proven exoskeleton design so poles slide through the rainfly for taut structural integrity that stays intact in blustery breezes. The freestanding architecture of the Orion Tent makes it excellent for backpacking and climbing in wide open spaces where trees and other natural cover aren't readily available. Like other Exped tents, the Orion features a large-size and a medium-size vestibule for separating skis and climbing gear from essential equipment like boots, backpacks and cooking supplies. Because the vestibule pole extends to the ground, the vestibule content is better protected from spindrift in gusty conditions--a feature not always available on tents with tarp-style vestibule areas. When you compare the 29 cubic feet of space and weight to other models, the Orion doesn't stand out as a lightweight design among two-person, four-season tent designs. That's because the Orion's advantage is in the freestanding structural integrity. If weight is a concern, you can pitch the Orion's rainfly or canopy separately during the summer months."

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Exped Orion Tent (Fall 2006) Venture into mountainous regions and extreme latitudes with the sturdy, freestanding expedition worthy Orion Tent by Exped. The two-sided, polyurethane-coated ripstop polyester rainfly offers a high resistance to tears and UV light and has strategically placed windows to promote airflow in stifling, snowbound conditions. The exoskeleton design allows this tent to be pitched with the rainfly covering the canopy. This feature prevents the canopy from getting wet during set up and allows easier set up in difficult conditions. Composed of ripstop polyester, the canopy is breathable and lightweight. All or part of the canopy can be detached from the exoskeleton and pushed aside to form an open, sheltered area for cooking, sorting gear, or playing cards. Twin doors with separate vestibules allow easy entry and exit for both occupants. The vestibules extend to the ground on both sides to cover equipment and keep wind out; one offers a small loft for drying wet gear. 9 mm DAC Featherlite SL poles stay rigid through most conditions and offer excellent rebound in extreme weather. The tent canopy is suspended from the pole structure, allowing the rainfly to be set up alone as a lightweight shelter or the canopy to be pitched individually on mild nights.
