From Backcountry.com:
"The MSR Fusion 2 is a convertible 2-person 3-4-season tent that combines a time-tested design for the best in strength and seasonal versatility. The Fusion 2 will be your best friend the next time you set up a winter base camp for a backcountry ski session or mountaineering ascent it utilizes a Compression Tension Design, which is a pole structure that provides incredible strength for stormy, high-mountain conditions. Yet it's plenty breathable for use in warmer seasons as well; a large mesh roof and rear panels provide cooling airflow. An internally-accessible peak vent increases the cool factor considerably. A large vestibule holds plenty of gear, and two full-length Therm-a-Rests fit comfortably inside. Interior pockets provide plenty of stash spots, and should you want to camp without the door, simply zip it into MSR's unique StowAway door pocket."

"If you are looking for a 4-season tent get a proper one otherwise this is a passable but average 3-season tent that can zip up if the weather is bad. Not that sturdy as it has 3 poles not 4 so the bottom end moves around in the wind and needs to be pegged out well."

"I got a hold of this tent at an REI garage sale when it had already been used and I have no idea why somebody would take this tent back. This is an incredible tent. It makes a great winter tent when you close up all the vents. I was very surprised at how warm I was inside the tent without having to get in my sleeping bag."

"When i was looking for a tent I wanted one for all seasons. I researched 100s of tents. It took me about a month just to narrow down to finally picking the MSR Fusion 2.

I have had it for about a year and a half now and I am in love with it. Took it camping many times through rain, hot, and cold and it defeats all seasons and weather with ease."

"This tent is very, very tough. Great durability-to-space-to-weight ratio. I had no ventilation problems, but I am not a sweaty person! Not cramped, but not the biggest. The MSR's stowaway pouches and large overhead clearance are important! Not a summer only tent, but not a four season pain in the butt, perfect balance!"

"I have only used this tent on one trip in the mountains but I have a few things to say about it. The Fusion 2 is an okay tent; MSR uses high quality materials paired with a useable design. The fusion is very large inside with plenty of headroom. Also, it packs up easier than any tent I've ever used."

"Love this tent which I just bought this summer to replace a one person Moss Outland (poles kept snapping). The Fusion 2 feels huge and comfortable after a one person tent (I have been using it alone and love it when I'm holed up in wet weather). Good use of floor space."
