From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of The North Face Heron 23 TentThe weather is kind and it is vacation time! Treat yourself to some new North Face gear and head to the mountains. The roomy, two-person North Face Heron 23 tent uses an innovative Hubard pole system to maximize its usable living space. An easy, sturdy pitch, the Heron 23 uses DAC poles to draw out the tent frame to create more headroom than many tents in its category, and to give it a freestanding design with a vestibule. By using several kinds of fabrics at different weights, and by fully taping the floor, the North Face has created a durable, long-lasting tent. A color-coded flysheet attachment makes for easy set-up with the Heron 23 Tent. Reflective guyline loops and zipper cording let you see your tent at night, and the full zip door is stowable for convenience. The North Face includes internal pockets and hang loops in the Heron 23 Tent so that you can organize your gear. A two person freestanding North Face"

"I borrowed this tent last summer. Camped two nights at 11,100ft in Beartooth Mountains in Montana in cold, wet, windy weather. The tent is very light, strong, and weather resistant. I am 6'3" and this tent was too short for me. I would recommend this tent for people around 5'10" and under."

"Having been disappointed in some of the North Face's tent designs in recent times, I have nothing but good to say about this tent. To me they went away from trying to make a fancy looking tent to one that performs. Instead of wowing your eyes this tent will wow you on performance."
