Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Comes with stakes, guylines and stuff sacks. Low weight and super-small packed size make this tent ideal for three-season cycling, hiking and paddling trips--and it fits those up to 6 ft. 6 in.! No-see-um mesh panels around the tent allow good ventilation, preventing interior condensation. Non-wicking stake loops help keep tent floor dry. Optic white tent canopy offers increased light transmission for a brighter living space. Rainfly features an integral vestibule to provide gear storage out of the weather; made from lightweight polyurethane/silicone-coated ripstop nylon. Reflective guyout loops allow night visibility; reflective noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. Sewn-in floor remains taut to provide maximum usable space; heavy-duty polyurethane coating and factory-taped main floor seam keep out water. Swift Clips make tent setup faster and easier, particularly in high winds. This solo tent for fast-packing features DAC Featherlite poles for a weight savings of 4 oz. Treated with Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh to help prevent the growth of odor-causing fungus and mildew to extend tent's life; a SD exclusive!"

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Sierra Designs Light Year CD Tent is the perfect tent for fast-packing and long through hikes for a party of one. This lightweight, solo tent weighs about the same as a bivy sack but is infinitely more livable."

"I got this tent for a month long backpacking trip (Long Trail). My group only lasted for 12 days, and I went home with the last of them, as I will not hike alone. This tent was great. I am 6'1" and I fit just fine. The head space is narrow, but that is where I put my gear."

"Used the tent on a 7-day Grand Canyon trek. I actually only erected it three times (should have four times due to unanticipated November storm on the Tonto. . . oh well) as I sleep out unless raining. I already owned a Clip Flashlight CD (3 lbs. 15 oz."

"I am 6'3" and this tent still has a enough room for me. I love the natural colors of the tent and that I can easily fit my footprint in with my tent. Even though I've only used it on one hike it keeps me dry with its smooth, tight design. This tent also has sweet DAC featherlite poles and virtually unbendable stakes, and for how light it weighs, the price can't be beat."

"Very similar floorplan to a Kelty Clark, but easier to set up and a bit lighter. I bought the version with the Easton poles because the carbon fiber version was just too expensive. Plenty of room for one person, even a tall one. Vestibule is large enough to hold an upright pack and a pair of boots."
