Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Developed as a three-season super-light alternative to two-person tents with twice the weight, the Mountain Hard Wear Waypoint 2 Tent features a lightweight single wall canopy architecture with Mountain Hard Wear's exclusive CrossFlow ventilation to minimize interior condensation. While the emphasis is on weight savings and air flow, the low profile design also sheds wind and rain effectively, although some backpackers and climbers may find the interior height of 2.92 feet slightly cramped. There are two entry points on each side of the Waypoint 2 so you never have to worry about crawling over your slumbering companion to get outside. An adjustable fly attachment system resists freezing and can be repaired in the field without a lot of extra hassles."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The Waypoint is a lightweight, single wall tent designed for fast moving three season backpacking. **This item is a one-of-a-kind floor model. It m..."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear Waypoint 2 tent is a Superlight 2-person tent engineered with CrossFlow technology, which keeps the Waypoint 2 light and reduces the likelihood of condensation forming."

From REI:
"Two can travel fast and light with this sleek tent that combines solid three-season protection with an exceptionally efficient ventilation system. Waypoint 2 uses a single hooped center pole and an optional rear strut for weight reduction. Hybrid, single-wall design uses advanced welding technology to permanently attach rainfly to floor. These features, combined with patent-pending CrossFlow design, create lighter tents that are comfortable through a wide range of conditions. CrossFlow design creates a very active ventilation pattern, keeping the tent cooler and extracting moist air before condensation can occur. Wide, 360° mesh perimeter floor venting allows free flow of air from all directions, while three upper vents serve to draw air out. Single-wall rainfly extends over mesh perimeter for full protection and is welded to maintain waterproofness. Vents are also welded to preserve the waterproof integrity of the tent. Superlight nylon ripstop rainfly/canopy has a water-repellent silicone outer coating for added strength and less stretch in wet conditions. Polyurethane inner coating provides waterproofness and durability. Superlight 2000 nylon taffeta floor has a lightweight polyether urethane coating for durability and waterproofness; seams are taped. New Atlas 7001 poles use Atlas connectors for corrosion- and dent-resistance, plus they're completely field serviceable. Atlas Floating pole connectors mean poles flex with less stress at the joints, weigh less with more strength, and can be fixed without tools. Two side doors provide convenient access; clear UVX film ceiling window lets in light and views. Inverted double rainfly zippers allow ease of ventilation and feature laminated zipper flaps for water-resistance. Large mesh pockets and webbing hang loops keep things organized inside. Large stake out loops accept both skis and snow pickets. Bar-tacked stress points add strength and durability; bias-bound zippers allow ease of use and extended zipper life. Comes with stuff sacks, aluminum Y-pegs, Seam Grip® and owner's manual. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Closeout."

"It was overall a good tent, but if you're doing hot camping it will break down the tent. I'm working on trading this tent for a better tent. On one of the vents it melted the stuff that seals it and my tent was filled with bugs :("

"This tent is a great summer tent. I have used it on many damp Michigan nights in temps from 35 to 60 degrees and only saw moderate condensation on the coldest of nights. If there is a breeze set it up so that the front of the tent is into the wind and have the roof vents open and the tent will stay completely dry."

"I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT BUYING THIS TENT! The ventilation is horrendous, leaving you with puddles of condensation covering the floor every morning. In below freezing temps it seems to offer almost no protection from the cold. I think this is because of the huge vent in the end of the tent."

"This tent is very light, very sturdy even in high winds, but the ventilation is abysmal. Even in Colorado where the humidity rarely makes it to 20% condensation is a serious problem. In particular if you move around at night, your sleeping bag can block off most of the venting space around the floor."

"Ventilation is a problem but I don't camp in summer so it will be perfect for me. Was in huge 14-hour storm with no rain splatter. Light and fast just what I asked for. Wish there was somewhere to store some gear. For two people remember to bring a good friend because you will be close."

"I used the Waypoint 2 on a 4 day trip to Isle Royale and on one of the pre-trip overnights. The trip to Isle Royale was in August with nice weather and no rain. I did experience some rain in the morning on the pre-trip overnight.

The tent is very light and is easy for two people to set up."
