Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Sierra Designs Ultra Light Year tent is a 1 person, fast-and-light phenom with enough space so you wont feel claustrophobic."

From REI:
"Roomier than a bivy and actually lighter than some, Sierra Designs' 3-season solo tent doesn't sacrifice strength or durability! Easton® Graflite Carbon poles are 20% lighter than standard Easton poles of the same diameter. Nylon ripstop rainfly has a dual coating for waterproofness and excellent UV protection: silicone on the outside and polyurethane on the inside. Features an integral vestibule to provide gear storage out of the weather. Two-pole design with Swift Clips™ is easy to set up. Optic white tent canopy offers increased light transmission for a brighter living space. Mesh panels around the tent allow good ventilation to prevent condensation. Reflective guyout loops allow night visibility; reflective noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. 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! Comes with stakes, guylines and tighteners and stuff sacks. Average minimum weight specification based on tent, poles and rainfly only. Closeout."

"I don't believe there is such a thing as an Ultra Light Year tent. I have owned a Sierra Designs Light Year tent for years. It's my second favorite tent. But at 3 1/2 pounds, it hardly rates as ultra light. I checked the Sierra Designs website and found only the Light Year; no hint of an Ultra Light Year."

"This ultra light one-person tent is awesome! Its set-up is extremely simple and takes only minutes. I could go on forever about the durabilty of this product.

Example, on my most recent trip to the Sierras I camped with six friends who were wasted by the night's end and on the way back to their campsites four of them tripped over the the rain fly's guy lines and while my friends did face plants into the ground (one breaking his nose) the tent didn't flinch."
