Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The MSR Zoid 2 is an ultra light tent with room enough for two people and all their gear. Weighing in at around 4 pounds, the MSR Zoid 2 is a hit for its light weight alone. But it's also loaded with features that make it a superstar. It has high and low vents, and the peak vent is supported by a kickstand. The result is superior ventilation, which is of serious importance in smaller tents especially when its contents are a couple of sweaty, grimy backpackers. What's more, it has two individual doors so that you can enter and exit the tent without stepping on your partner's face."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of MSR Zoid 2 TentA lightweight backpacking tent for those who believe in simplicity, the Zoid 2 Tent has many of the functions of the Zoid 1 Tent, but it's just a little bit bigger. Interior space is 30.3 square feet (about double the space of the Zoid 1 Tent) and MSR designed it to fit two sleeping pads, more gear, and enough headspace for two people to sit up comfortably. The door is still on the side, which makes a huge difference when entering the tent. A full-coverage, seam-taped vestibule is, comparatively speaking, quite large and can be configured four ways to adjust to weather conditions and your gear. DAC Featherlite poles provide a stable frame for the Zoid 2 Tent and keep off weight, and at less than three pounds that's alot to ask of a tent that doesn't weigh very much to begin with. A polyester rainfly and extensive use of Micromesh (and a peak vent with kickstand support) provide excellent ventilation, as well as making an incredibly durable, sta"

"Love this tent! It vents very nicely, and is light as can be. I'm of small stature, and so is my lady. We sleep very well inside, but if you're taller it may be cramped. The needle stakes are super light, and super easy to lose. Pre-bent poles make pitching it a dream."

"Once I was able to get it taut we had great luck with it. There was some condensation on the fly but it stayed away as long as I could keep my 6 year old from standing up in the morning. As far as room goes we were able to fit a 6 year old, an 18 month old and myself (5'11" 170lbs) as well as all our clothes bags."

"The Zoid design makes for cramped quarters. It is difficult to change inside during rainy weather without pushing against the rainfly and bringing moisture through. It is not a free-standing tent so don't plan on moving it once it is pitched, and it will get damp during the heaviest rainstorms if you don't tie out the guidelines securely."

"Couldn't decide between 4 or 5 stars. It serves its purpose well. A very lightweight, very well made two-person shelter. Waterproofing is second to none, ventilation is outstanding, twin doors allow easy access. Avaliable fast and light setup with the use of the unincluded footprint and included fly provide minamalist protection at a LARGE weight savings."
