From RockCreek:
"The Rock 22 Tent by The North Face is a two person, two door tent that provides the ultimate in three season comfort. Constructed with DAC Press-fit aluminum poles that are up to 15% lighter than aluminum poles of comparable strength, and are less susceptible to failure because pole linkages are based on extrusion instead of glued-in inserts. Also designed with the fusion pitch that combines a traditional continuous pole sleeve construction with clip construction for easy set-up and improved ventilation. This hybrid design utilizes the time-tested strength and dependability of continuous pole sleeves in the main structural poles, providing support where it's needed most. A free standing design with two vestibules and dual doors so you can sneak out at night when nature calls without waking your tentmate."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The Rock 22 is a roomy two-person backpacking tent for three-season use. DAC Press-fit? aluminum poles Continuous pole sleeves Internal prayer-bound..."

From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face Rock 22 Tent is a simple backpacking tent for two. Two-pole support and continuous sleeves ensure easy pitching after a long day on the trail. DAC 7001-T6 aluminum poles are incredibly strong, and with no inserts, they are less susceptible to failure. Comes complete with a compression stuffsack to keep loads small and tight. As with all The North Face tents, fly-only pitching adds the freedom of under-the-stars camping and insurance against that random rain shower. Match the Rock 22 Tent with the Rock 22 Footprint."

"I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. I got this tent at a cheep price from campmor. com and was sleeping in it within a week. Easy set-up, no moisture problems, amazing "D-Door" design.

Overall the tent has had a lot of thought put into it and it definitely shows."

"This is a great tent for its price and I have spent many months sleeping in the Rock 22. I find it to be a little heavy, but use it mostly for kayaking trips. The major problem that I have came across are the low vents, which allows sand to blow in when you are camping on a sandy beach or a trip to the desert."

"A good tent for the price point. Not for weather below 25 however due to ventilation. Freezing temps will cause interior condensation on the fly which will be on you as water when the sun hits the tent in the morning. For the money, a good tent and the normal great quality of TNF."

"This tent is fantastic. It's so light and can still withstand some almost freezing temps. Spent a week in it just outside Canmore, Alberta, CA, and it went down to -2C/30F and it stood up well. It's almost too ventilated for a 3-season, nice if you could close off some of the vents more securely.

You'll love this tent from spring to autumn."

"A good all-around tent. I like the two door and vestibule design, no more waking your backpacking buddy to enjoy something only meant to be enjoyed by you and nature. The size is big enough to not go crazy within half an hour on a rain day. Not for the lightweight crowd, but it will do great for the rest and last far longer."

"This is a mediocre cheaply priced tent. The weight of the tent is fairly low and it is easy to set up. The best thing about this tent is how big it is for a two-person tent. Two grown men can sleep in it without feeling "too close".

The second best thing about this tent is the lightweight poles."

"perfect for my needs. great backcountry tent for 1-2 people. 2004, has 2 doors which makes the tent seem so much larger. lightweight, sets up quickly, not to mention its a room with a view (by far the best feature)."
