From Backcountry.com:
"Weather any summer storm's high winds and rain with The North Face Vario 23 two-person Tent . As part of The North Face's Flight Series, this lightweight tent keeps your pack manageable. An upper-level lift vent enables the Vario 23 Tent to work with the wind instead of against it, so you can ride out the storm without feeling like you're being blown sideways off the mountain. The seam-sealed canopy and fully taped floor work with the Vario 23 Tent's weatherproof fabric, keeping you dry and warm all spring, summer, and fall. The North Face's top and lower vents work together to create more, air circulation. This means both you and your buddy can sleep soundly and wake up breathing fresh air. Store your gear in the pull-out vestibule and drift off to dream."

"I have used this tent over a dozen times in the last year. It has worked great. It is super light, fast on a setup, and has plenty of space for 2.

However, my main complaint has been the condensation that builds on the interior. I realize this is an issue with single walls, but it is irritating."

"I bought this tent with backpacking in mind. Due to its compression and weight it seemed perfect (not to mention I found it for $100 new at REI).

This tent is super light, and literally sets up in a snap, which has been great on nights I have made camp after dark."

"I bought this tent mainly for three-season backpacking and it certainly has lived up to my expectations. It's extremely light weighing just under 2Kg and is very quick to pitch. There is more than enough room in both porches to keep gear but not enough room to cook."
