Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The Mountain Hardwear Viperine 2 is a light 2 person dome style end entry tent with 1 door and 1 vestibule. The unique feature of the Viperine is that the pole set is hubbed and completly connected to form one continuous pole. The mostly mesh body keeps bugs at bay while providing great ventilation and offering stargazing opportunities. The full coverage fly protects you from the nastiest weather and provides a vestibule for storing extra gear outside the door. Set up is fast and easy with an all clip assembly. Good center height for comfort and livability. In nature the Viperine is a small snake that eats tadpoles and in the tent world it outperforms them.

"After looking around at different tents I settled on the MH Viperine 2. . . When the tent turned up it took me 1 hour to put the tent up, the one pole system confused me somewhat (maybe I'm stupid). Now i can put the tent up within 5 minutes by myself."

"I am 6’1” and I could not fit well into other tents. This one is just right for me and my gear.

Make no mistake, this is a 3. 5 season tent. The first night I used it, I set up on frozen ground and the temperature dropped below 10 degrees."

"I am having a real tough time getting the outer shell close to the ground. I have put a slight bow in two pieces of pole, i had them repaired no problem but the problem is still here. The instructions are not very in-depth but apart from this it is a very easy tent to erect. WHAT CAN I DO???"

"I bought this tent for a backpacking excursion to the mountainous region of Okinawa, Japan, in November. The tent is light and setup is quick. Our first night we basecamped at the foot of Mt Tamatsuji. It rained all night due to a late season tropical storm forming south of the island."
