From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Sierra Designs Assailant Tent (Spring 2008) Whatever the call, the Assailant Tent by Sierra Designs delivers a reliable one-man (two in a pinch!) shelter in the most adverse conditions. Waterproof-breathable Drizone fabric sheds ferocious wind, incessant downpours, and blowing snow. The pole configuration strengthens the Assailant, crossing in the rear of the tent to stabilize the shelter even in 70-plus mph winds. At 93 inches long, the Assailant houses an NBA center, with gear, too. Functional vents keep air moving, even if you're battened down in heinous conditions. Alpine climbers or ambitious Winter ski tours mean a lightweight back-up plan, and the Assailant should be yours. Specs Trail Weight: 3 lbs 3 oz Packed Weight: 3 lbs 11 oz Packed Size: 21in. x 5.5in.

1. You cannot sit up inside the tent (I am a 5'8" woman)
2. Where the exterior poles cross prevents captures any snow that might fall on your tent. So, you would either have to get out of the tent now and then to sweep snow off or risk collapse."

It pitches easy (another star), has some nice features (one more star) such as the vents and has great build quality (star).
Now I've only used so far in situations it wasn't really designed for."
