From Campmor:
"The Sierra Designs Clip Flaslight 2 tent is a classic ultralight 2 person tent which has been a lightweight standard for a very long time. It's has been redesigned with an all mesh body, which gives great ventilation and allows for stargazing. Now also with a lighter and stronger pole set. The Clip Flashlight 2 has long been a favorite of long distance hikers. If you have ever been out on the Appalachian Trail for a few days you've seen them. If you went to 'Trail Days' you've seen hundreds of them. Now even easier to set up and with decent room for 2 this tent even packs small too. The full coverage fly completely envelops the tent and will keep you dry and secure when the rain falls or blows. And the bathtub floor will add to your secure feeling because the floor wraps up the sides to keep you dry and comfortable. Sleeps 2 Main fly and floor seams are factory taped with PVC free seam tape to keep you dry Full coverage fly keeps you dry and comfortable Non - Freestanding design is stable and easy to set up Super Seal Bathtub floor wraps up the sides and keeps you dry DAC FeatherLite NSL aluminum poles are strong and reliable - they are less prone to breakage in part because of their unique means of joining the poles with a precisely machined insert rather than an unreliable ferrule - utilizes Reverse Combi Technology by using varying diameters determined by where extra strength is needed which gives the best strength to weight ratio of any pole - saves weight with a thicker diameter pole with a thinner wall and the process used to make them is far less polluting than other methods 1 front entry door for fast and convenient entry or exit Small front vestibule - good for excess or wet gear storage All mesh body is great for ventilation and stargazing Aerodynamic and ergonomic shape is weather shedding and user friendly Color coded pitch system for even faster set up Body to pole attachment is with the ultralight SD clips and the ultra secure 'H' clip - clips speed assembly and allow more airflow under the fly Secure tent/pole attachment with Jake's Foot a rugged poly carbonate fitting that is more reliable than grommets Internal pockets and gear loops make organization and stuff stashing easy All carry bags and stakes included Import."

Have used the tent solo and with my wife. Room is limited with two people but I'm backpacking not spending a night at the Hilton."

For those saying that it's not sturdy in high winds, learn to stake out a tent."

Ultra lightweight shelter best suited for solo use, but fits two in a pinch. I've had this for four years now and I still cannot find a lighter two-person tent.
Compromises -- no sealable door on the tent body (the fly has to do the job in foul weather, not really bomb-proof),
VERY cramped for two -- all seem acceptable when you consider the low poundage for a decent tent."

Even though it's the lightest, you need one per hiker, so if you're with a partner, carry a true two-man tent."

The drawbacks are: Not too much room (you can't really sit up in it even when alone.
If you pitch it up every night and take it down again the nexxt morning, setup becomes rather bothersome."

Small vestible, it has small storage space and it does not come down far enough all around the tent. When it rains real hard water runs off the rain fly onto the lower main body of the tent also causes water run-off to splash mud on the body of the tent."

Light weight, packs small, 2 people can sleep in it, wind stable, cool hanger for a candle lantern.
The BAD:
Fly provides little storage space, also the fly doesn't leak but it does not come down far enough to keep water from dripping on the corner of the tents and hard rain from splashing mud up on the body of the tent."
