From Campmor:
"The Sierra Designs Convert 2 is a winter tent designed for extremes. It is very light, easy to set up and has plenty of room for 2. The DriZone fabric not only "breathes" but is waterproof and saves weight so you can go faster, farther, easier. Each inner corner of the tent has an optional Jake's Corner. This device comes with the tent and attaches or detaches easily and provides phenomenal tent stability when in use as needed. A small vented fly at the top of the tent lets even more pass through the tent and allows for a more comfortable interior. Set up is simple and can be finished from inside the tent if the weather is too harsh. Sleeps 2. Main fly and floor seams are factory taped (PVC Free) for extreme weather protection. Super Seal Floor Seam combines a Catenary cut with a bathtub floor that raises the seam off the ground for extreme protection. DriZone material is waterproof, light weight but breathes and is the most comfortable waterproof/breathable tent fabric on the market. Single wall tent design, saves weight, and is well ventilated for less condensation. Front storage vestibule is 8.5 sq. ft. is hooped for strength and is also removable to save weight. Includes 4 Jakes's Corners which are removable. They help stabilize the tent from high winds and snow loads. DAC FeatherLite NSL Aluminum poles utilize a unique pole connector and have the best strength to weight ratio of any pole. Reflective Door Binding helps you see the tent in low light levels or times of low visibility. Freestanding design is sturdy and stable. External Guypoints feature the Nite Ize Figure 9 line tighteners which are reliable and simple to use.

From Backcountry.com:
"When it comes to adapting to changes in environment and terrain, the Sierra Designs Convert 2 Tent is practically a chameleon. The waterproof Drizone fabric seals out the elements when you set up camp in a drizzly forest or a snow-laden forest clearing, and in a puke-fest, you can finish setting up the tent from inside. Drizone is also highly breathable, so you won't suffocate when you take the Convert 2 Tent on desert campouts. The Air Flow Vent system increases ventilation with its angled design and mesh backing. This two-person tent's vestibule creates room for your muddy gear, but if you're on a fast and light mission, remove the vestibule, drop a pound, and save some space."

From EMS:
"The Convert 2 from Sierra Designs is ready for extreme expeditions, with single wall construction for best combination of waterproofness and weight reduction in cold alpine environments. The vestibule can be removed to save weight for a summit push. Two large vents at the crest of the tent keep condensation at bay. Feed externally and seat automatically meaning the tent can be pitched in seconds. Internal Jake's Corners mean you can finish pitching the tent from inside. Removable vestibule reduces weight to 4lbs 1 oz. Drizone fabric for excellent combination of waterproofness and breathability. External Pole feed with internal pole sleeves. Tent guard with Ultra Fresh to prevent mildew and fungus buildup. Nite Ize figure 9 rope tighteners."
