From Altrec Outdoors:
"Heading out on the Picket Traverse, the ultralight North Face Dyad 22 Tent is the perfect pick for critical weight saving without giving up comfort and weather protection. With a new mesh front door and front vestibule, added venting versatility and storage makes it a roomy option at slightly over 3 pounds. Upon reaching Sandy Flats it's time to quick pitch the Dyad with it's ultralight MicroClip and color-coded poles, while rolling back the vestibule for a night of comet watching."

"This tent is high quality and extremeley light. I have read some of the negative reviews and can only come to the conclusion that they either received a poorly made exception or simply have little real world backpacking experience.

I have used this tent in hot weather/snow and severe downpours and been totally satisfied."

"I have read the reviews on this tent and want to point out some of my own facts which I believe to be more fair than the negative ones which are listed.

I have owned the Dyad 22 for over 2 years. I purchased it when it first came on the market."

"I agree with Robert Kelly's review. This tent is quite possibly the worst piece of backpacking equipment I have ever owned.

I don't know what happened in the factory, maybe some sort of joke by the workers in China, but this tent is a disgrace to The North Face."

"I bought the Dyad 22 after a lot of research, concentrating on a tent that would be lightweight, rainproof, but with good ventilation as I live in a humid country (Taiwan).

I just tested the Dyad 22 on a 5 day trek in the south under ideal conditions: warm (25 degrees during the day, 15 at night) and mostly dry."

"We slept two people and gear in this two-person tent on several cool and rainy early spring evenings in north Georgia. The tent was warm enough that we started on top of the sleeping bags but before dawn were zipped in. Not the Hilton of sleeping gear, but certainly adequate for our section hike of the AT."

"The North Face Dyad 22 is a non-freestanding single wall ultralight tent and is one of the many items in the Flight Series. Although The North Face states that this is a 2-person tent, it, in my opinion, is the perfect 1-person tent because there is simply no room for that second person."
