Here's what other sites are saying:
From Backcountry.com:
"A Kelty Teton 2 is an affordable way for two backpackers to get some sleep. This sturdy little tent lets you share personal space with your camping companion. Made with Kelty's ArcEdge construction, the Teton 2 stands strong when faced with strong winds. Plenty of ventilation and a mesh ceiling stop moisture from building up and gives each of you lots of fresh air. Color-coded clips let you quickly set-up this little wonder and get on to more important things, like cooking dinner and sitting around the fire."
From Campmor:
"The Kelty Teton 2 is a light weight ( under 5 lbs.) 3 season 2 person tent. The polyester non stretch, UV resistant fly provides excellent coverage as well as a 6.9 sq. ft. vestibule outside the large side entry door. Waterproof sidewalls extend midway up the sides of the tent thereby eliminating the need for fly coverage on the ends and thus saving weight. Easy to set up due to its color coded clip system, the Teton 2 also has superb ventilation because all 4 sides have mesh at the top that also allows for stargazing. Sleeps 2 Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection. Arc Edge floor seams - perimeter floor seams are off the ground and inverted for superior water protection. DAC PressFit aluminum poles for good strength to weight ratio. Freestanding. One 6.9 sq. ft. vestibule. Non stretch, UV resistant polyester fly. All clip assembly for fast set-up and maximizes air flow. No-see-um mesh on all 4 sides of the tent for venting and stargazing. 2 mesh interior pockets for organization and gear storage. 1 large side entry door for easy access. Post and grommet assembly with locking pole tips for convenience. Side release buckles attach fly to body for fast easy set up. Color coded clips aid in set-up. Flashlight loop. Full coverage fly for total weather protection. Gear loft included. Tent, pole and stake bags included. Fire retardant. Import."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Excellent for backpacking, climbing and light car camping, Kelty's Teton 2 tent is a superb tent design that's light on your wallet without being light on features. With 31 square feet of floor space and a packed weight of less than 5 lbs., the Teton 2 tent offers specs that are similar to higher priced backpacking and minimalist tents. The big cost-effective difference is the single door entrance and 7001 aluminum DAC Pressfit poles. The dual-pole design is structurally rugged and has been around for years, but it's slightly heavier than the ultra-refined tent poles that you usually find on higher priced tents. Everything else about the Teton 2 Tent is on par with the best in the outdoor industry, including taped floor seams and Kelty's Water TightWall enhancements for optimal weather protection. Because the ceiling has large mesh area along the crest, the Teton 2 offers exceptional venting between the walls and waterproof tent fly, although this extra airflow can be uncomfortable on frosty mornings (that's why it's a three-season tent). Kelty added a color-coded clip construction that's easy to figure out, even if you don't have time to look at pitching instructions. If you like the price and features but you're looking for a tent for your family of four (or you and a couple of big pets) check out Kelty's Teton 4 Tent, if you need two doors, Kelty's Gunnison 2 has dual escape hatches and a little more room all the way around."
From REI:
"Lighten your load, not your wallet, with the super-value Teton—this simple, easy-to-pitch design offers superb ventilation. Freestanding design has one door and one vestibule. Waterproof polyester taffeta rainfly pitches tautly and remains so even when wet; side-release buckles make it easy to attach it to the tent. ArcEdge™ floor remains taut with specially constructed waterproof seams that are up off the ground. All seams are factory-taped to ensure excellent weather protection. Color-coded pole clip/sleeve construction keeps setup simple and obvious. Generous mesh side vents and mesh ceiling offer great ventilation and views outside. Includes guyout points, noiseless zipper pulls, internal storage pockets and gear loft loops. Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guyline. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

I have a Sierra Designs Stretch Dome, which cost me 4X as much, but I take this tent on my trips probably 75% of the time."

Cons: small vestibule, rain fly does not fully cover tent, not the best ventilation
I have had the tent for around a year and a half, and have used it a wide range of conditions. I initially purchased it as a solo tent because I wanted more room than a bivy sack can provide, but my girlfriend has started camping with me a lot."

Went on a 3-day 2-night trip with the Teton in varying weather conditions. Seams held tight through storms (no leakage) and very little wind noise from the fly. Very light weight and packs small without the poles. I used it as a solo and kept my gear inside. Only downfall is the small vestibule."
