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."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Vario 23 is an ultralight, freestanding two-person tent using lift technology."

From REI:
"If you're really into saving weight, then check out The North Face Vario 23; a single-wall tent with innovative venting technology. Double doors increase livability for two sleepers and allow complete ventilation. Lift technology employs two upper vents that enable tent to work with the wind: wind passes through and lifts tent slightly, increasing its stability. DAC reverse-combi pole system creates a strong tent with high interior volume. DAC Featherlite NSL poles use a unique insert to save weight and reduce breakage; an eco-friendly anodization process resists corrosion. Seam-sealed canopy and taped floor create a formidable barrier against extreme weather. Clip construction offers quick setup; Ultralight Microclips are lightweight, super strong and attach easily to pole structure. Mesh window and D-shape doors combine with upper ''lift vents'' to promote superior cross ventilation. Convenient freestanding design; pull-out front and rear vestibules help keep fresh air circulating and shelter gear. Internal pockets organize small necessities. Reflective guy out points and zipper cording make life easier at night. Comes with compression stuff sack, guylines, aluminum V-stakes and instructions. From the Flight Series , a collection developed by The North Face and tested by outdoor athletes; designed for done-in-a-day adventures. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

Reviewed by Thomas Haynes, Jul 17, 2007

"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."
