From Backcountry.com:
"Marmot used a unique pole design to give the Nyx 2-Person 3-Season Tent steep walls for increased living space at no additional weight. The Knees Poles System uses a bend above the lowest section to eliminate those tight, useless corners found in most tents. Eight square feet of vestibule space provides plenty of storage to keep your pack and boots out of the rain as you rest inside this spacious Marmot tent. With all the room inside, you may expect the Nyx Tent to weight a lot, but it barely tips the scales at 5lb 2oz."

From RockCreek:
"The NYX Tent is Marmot's lightweight spacious two person tent with tons of features that will make your night in the backcountry comfy and care free. Designed to be lightweight with DAC Featherlite poles that are super strong and very easy to set up. Plenty of ventilation offers breezes through the tent, which is important during the humid nights in the south or cool evenings in the desert. The Knees pole system allows for more space on the corners of the tent, utilizing all of the space without adding more material weight. Waterproof and catenary cut floors keep seams off the ground and away from water. A great tent for two people."

"Overall, great tent. My sister and I shared this tent for a week on the Colorado trail with my 55 lbs dog (yes we all slept in the tent!) and were more than comfortable.

The tent had little condensation except for the coldest nights (it does get cold on summer nights in the Colorado mtns."

"This tent is awesome. It is pretty light for a 2 person tent. I am pretty tall (6' 2") and I had no problems sleeping lengthwise in the tent, as I usually do.

Also, the interior of the tent is tall. I could sit up straight with close to six inches of headroom to spare."

"I am writing this review because when I had researched this tent I could hardly find any information on it. I have just received it and have not yet had a chance to really see what it can do as far as handling weather in a variety of conditions, but I thought I would write a little something based on my initial impressions since so little content is available for those who may be considering this tent."

"I've been looking for a TALL 2p tent for about a year now and had to grab this when I saw it on sale. I am very glad that I did, although some may consider its size and weight a little extravagant for a 1 person set-up, I am 6'4" and 275 pounds and the height of this tent is perfect for me."

"I use the NYX as a solo tent. I may sacrifice 1-1/2 lbs over a true solo ultralight, but the extra room is more than worth it. I can easily store all my gear within the tent and/or vestibule, and I have plenty of room for changing clothes. Ample headroom is a strong feature of this tent."
