Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"The Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight CD 2 tent, a perennial best seller, has been updated this season with stronger poles, lighter clips, more interior living space, and a burlier pole structure. 2-pole design ensures swift setup and allows ventilation between tent body and rainfly; non-rotating elbow connectors create a stronger pitch without added weight. DAC Featherlite® NSL poles utilize unique inserts to create strong, functional poles that save weight and reduce breakage; new Ultralight Clips™ save weight. Jakes Feet™ at tent corners allow easy attachment of poles, fly and footprint and offer a secure, worry-free hold; a simple twist is all it takes to release the poles. Mesh panels along the full length of the tent and at the door and rear window provide ventilation. SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. Seams are made watertight with PVC-free tape. Interior pockets are waterproof toward the outside and mesh toward the inside so your stuff stays dry and visible. Reflective guyout loops allow night visibility; reflective, noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. Includes stakes, guylines and tighteners, pole repair sleeve and stuff sacks. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

From Campmor:
"The Clip 2 CD has been around for a long time. A perennial favorite on the Appalachian Trail with thru-hikers because it's roomy enough for 2 but easy for 1 to carry because of it's light weight. SuperSeal floor combines the taut pitch of a catenary cut and the waterproofness of a bathtub floor. The Sil/nylon fly is lightweight and gives exceptional weather protection. A full coverage fly with a vestibule for extra gear and all clip design are just a few of the reasons for this tents continued popularity. Sleeps 2 The Stash Door is mounted on a circular zipper that allows you to hinge the door at almost any spot for ease of entry/exit. It also allows you to tuck the door into a small mesh pocket that keeps the door off the ground out of harms way. Fly seams and main floor seam are taped (PVC Free) and factory sealed for superior weather protection. Sil/nylon fly saves weight and gives exceptional weather protection. 6 sq. ft. vestibule. No-See-Um window in the door, plus two No-See-Um panels that run the length of the tent for excellent ventilation. Features 8.55mm DAC FeatherLite aluminum poles which are stronger than traditional 7000 series aluminum. By eliminating the insert at the pole connections and replacing it with a tube that fits together by being shrunk at one end and expanded at the other, you create a stronger junction. They are also 15% lighter than other 7000 series aluminum poles. Breathable optic whole inner canopy is bright and dye free. Swift Clips allow you to stake out your tent, then clip the body of the tent to the poles for quick easy set up. Two Cam-Loc clips at the peak of each pole allow you to 'lock' the clip to the poles. The result is a 12% increase in strength. Number 8 zippers with noiseless pulls. Reflective pulls are used on fly zippers. Computer-Aided Design-CAD. Non wicking stake loops and fly attachments. Flashlight ring and mesh storage pockets. Fastpack Footprint Mode - Every tent can be ultralight thanks to the optional Sierra Designs Fastpack footprint. Combined with a tent fly and poles, Fastpack Footprints let you set up a basic shelter in mild weather and shave valuable weight. By leaving the tent body at home there is a savings of approximately 30% in overall weight. Fastpack wt. - 2lbs. 7oz. Flame Retardant. Carry bags and stakes included. Import."

Clip Flashlight CD 2 (1999)
Reviewed by Jim Fenter, Apr 10, 2000

"I did a lot of research before I bought this tent, and waited for it to go on sale at Campmor. I was pleased with my purchase when I set it up for the first time this past Saturday, because even though high winds and rain were expected, the tent literature promised that with proper staking and guy-out, the tent would stand up."
