Here's what other sites are saying:

From EMS:
"A freestanding, 2-person, highly vented design at under 4 pounds! Definitely an attractive choice for the light and fast backpacker. Hybrid/single-wall construction keeps the weight to a minimum. Superlight 30-denier nylon ripstop wall with silicone coating; coated nylon taffeta floor. 360 perimeter ventilation around the base of the tent, and pop-up ceiling vents, cooperate to keep the air circulating. Tent wall extends out to shield all vents from the rain. Interior mesh pockets; webbing hang loops. Rainfly window. Integrated front vestibule extends out above door."

From Backcountry.com:
"Mountain Hardwear's Airjet 2 is best for long-term backcountry travelers who require a Superlight tent and the additional protection and gear storage space of a vestibule. A modified tension shelf inside the tent adds to the tents stability, while giving you one more place to stash items you can't afford to lose. Mountain Hardwear's CrossFlow technology involves complete floor perimeter and ceiling venting, coupled with a fly welded to the floor, which allows air to circulate and prevents condensation. Additional features include a single front door entry with a mesh panel for added ventilation, watertight zippers and the light-but-bomber Atlas pole system."

From CampSaver.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear Airjet 2 Tent is a well ventilated, backpacking tent for two people who like to go light but need an extra few feet of space. Winner of Outside Magazines coveted Gear of the Year Award, Mountain Hardwear Airjet Tents tip the scales at about half the weight of typical tents this size thanks to Atlas Scandium SL poles and a light, single-wall canopy that incorporates their exclusive CrossFlow ventilation system for comfortable airflow and reduced interior condensation. For a bit more room, Mountain Hardwear makes an Airjet 3 person tent. Guaranteed watertight construction. Consider the Airjet 2 tent footprint for extra protection on the bottom of your tent."

"I was really enthused about the single wall Airjet 2: light weight, and easy to put up. But now I am not a happy camper!!!

I bought it in June 2007, Used it for a week and another long weekend, for total of 11 days. Next year 2008, a few more nights, 16 nights."

"I bought this tent on Ebay after reading great reviews about it. I have several others including a Bibler Awahee II which I have only used one time and didn't like the way it sets up.

The thing I like most about the Airjet is the ease of set-up."

"It fell apart. Until this month, I loved M. H. products and till this year owned four M. H. tents.

My Airjet 2 fell apart at the seams during its third use. It was even raining. It was my second M. H. tent to come apart at the seams this year and I treat them like children."

"I am from New Zealand. I use my Airjet 2 for hunting in alpine and bush camping. It worked very well in rain. It good and light, but it pays to open vents to let your sweet out at night. A good tent to go light."

"I LOVE this tent. I have used the Airjet 2 in the hardest of downpours Southeast Alaska has to offer and never got wet (3 days of non-stop heavy rain). The tent was great in heavy mountain top winds (tie it off = good night sleep). With the cross flow ventilation MH put in this tent, the air keeps on moving and fights off moisture. Well done, MH."

"This tent is Fantastic! I slept in it and there was no condensation whatsoever. It is easy to set up. It needs some more room (it makes a great solo tent.) It is single walled tent and there are vents on top and bottom so it has great ventilation."

"I read every review I could find on this tent before I bought one at REI in Phoenix. I was headed for a 4-night trip in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The problem was that even though it had been an extremely dry summer in the Estes Park area, the time of my trip (August 3-4) coincided with the heaviest rains of the season."
