Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Minimalist tents often imply minimal weather protection in gusty conditions, but the Exped Vela 1 Extreme is built to weather the storm with a new lightweight Zipfree door that won't leak water. Combined with Exped's Downmats and WB sleeping bags, the Exped Vela 1 Extreme is your ticket to winter solitude without weighty compromises. The one-person setup can be pitched in under two minutes, even on uneven terrain. An extended vestibule makes it easy to keep all your gear inside the Exped Vela 1 Extreme (including backcountry skis) although you could share the vestibule space with a second stranded person in adverse conditions. Tie-down loops along the aerodynamically-enhanced pole sleeves allow you to cinch down the weather protection in snow, rain and extreme wind. Doubled seams and durable stitching help ensure that everything stays intact until the bad weather blows over."

From Moosejaw:
"Hike through deep forest valleys, sleep next to braided glacial streams: the Vela I Extreme by Exped is ideal for solo backpacking trips. The 2-sided, silicone-coated ripstop nylon rainfly provides waterproof performance in heavy rains. The rainfly slides up and down the main pole for smooth, zipperless opening and closing. A large vestibule provides ample space for packs, duffel bags, or cooking equipment. DAC Featherlite aluminum poles give the Vela strength in violent winds without adding weight to your pack. A polyurethane-coated, taffeta nylon floor blocks moisture seeping up from below. A flat pole sleeve on the rainfly improves aerodynamics, adding to its' heavy-weather performance. The Vela I is easy to erect, and although it is not freestanding it only requires two stakes to pitch. The exoskeleton design allows you to pitch the tent with the rainfly covering the canopy, preventing the interior of your tent from getting wet during set up. In warm weather the rainfly can be rolled back from both ends for stargazing or to provide maximum ventilation. Features: Area-Floor: 18 sq. ft./1.7 sq. m. Area-Vestibule: 11 sq. ft./1.0 sq. m.
