From Moosejaw:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Exped Sirius Extreme 2-Person 4-Season Tent's unique configuration and silicone-coated nylon fly shaves weight, increases strength in heavy winds, and makes this tent very fast and easy to set up, even in bad weather. Poles on the Sirius tent go through sleeves on the fly instead of the body. The body of the tent comes pre-connected, so when you pitch the fly, it sets up the tent as well. By putting the support on the outermost layer of the tent, Exped built this tent to be incredibly stable in the wind, which makes it an excellent choice for mountaineering and alpine climbing. This Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice winner also has a 16-square-foot vestibule and enough floor space to cram in three people if necessary. At lower elevations, leave the body behind to save weight, and pitch the fly by itself. Or, you can pitch the tent body alone on a warm day and enjoy the breeze through mesh windows."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Built to weather the worst, Exped's Sirius Extreme tent has the same durable, critically-acclaimed features found in the award-winning Sirius tent with less weight and a waterproof two-sided, silicone-coated ripstop nylon rainfly. Backpacker Magazine gave the Exped Sirius tent top marks for low weight and space that feels like a three-person tent, but Europe's Outdoor Magazin (that's not a typo in the name) recognized the weather protection in the tunnel tent architecture. No matter which characteristics appeal more to you, you'll appreciate the fast and easy setup that one person can pitch (four stakes!) in roughly two minutes. Windows open from the inside for convenience and feature bug netting to keep any biters at bay. Like other top Exped tents, the Sirius Extreme tent features color-coded and reflective elements, making it easy for beginners to pitch right on their first try."

"The exped sirius is a well thought out design. I bought it because it reminded me of my old sierra designs tunnel tent I had in the early '80s. The hoop or tunnel design just seems more roomy to me. This tent could fit two adults or one adult and two children very comfortably."
