From Campmor:
"THESE ARE MAIL ORDER RETURNS AND MAY BE SLIGHTLY SOILED. THEY HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND CARRY THE SAME WARRANTY AS A NEW TENT SHIPS GROUND ONLY. NO AIR SHIPMENTS ON THIS ITEM. The North Face Mica 12 is one really nice solo tent. It is light, well ventilated, easy to set up or take down, and it has plenty of room for the solo trekker or biker. The all mesh body is not only good for air flow but is wonderful for stargazing. Set up and take down is fast and quick with the ultralight micro clip system. The bathtub floor wraps up the side and is just the ticket to keep you snug and dry. The full coverage fly will protect you from the worst weather. And to top it all off it packs down to a nice snug size in its compression sack for easy packing.

From Backcountry.com:
"Hit the trails with The North Face Mica 12 Tent, and you get to spend the night in a comfortable solo shelter complete with lots of room and a sheltered vestibule. At a weight similar to most bivy sacks, this tent keeps you dry under a SilNylon fly and provides a place to store your pack and boots our of the weather. The North Face color coded the poles and added clip attachments for fast pitching to get you under cover quickly."

From RockCreek:
"The Mica 12 Tent by The North Face is a 1 person tent that is very lightweight, almost rivaling a poled bivy sack, but even better. The Mica is easy to set up with its ultralight twist clip canopy pitch system that allows you to set up with the twist of a wrist and the unique kickstand gives it extra strength without the weight. A nice ventilation system keeps air moving with convection and crossflow allowing you to sleep when it gets hot outside.If you are looking for a poled bivy, reconsider with the Mica 12, only weighs 3 lbs at total weight and has a vestibule, with awesome protection from weather."

Reviewed by Lazarus, Jul 26, 2009

"So far I have been really happy with this tent. I have only slept in it maybe 4 times, but even on the dunes of White Sands it was light and easy to setup.

I am 6'3 215 lbs. and I fit in there absolutely fine. I had a small pack with me a few times and there is so much headroom when laying down that I went ahead and kept the pack inside instead of leaving it covered in the vestibule."
