I recently completed a 3-day backpacking trip using this tent. I will definitely be using it again.

Pros-light weight, yellow tent body gives the interior of the tent a light and airy feel, green fly blends in with the environment, also available with an orange fly

Cons-this tent slopes fairly sharply from the front to the back, this seriously limits the amount of headroom, two people would find this tent very confining, because of this I would recommend this as more of a one man or a 1.5 man type of tent.

I backpack solo and this tent gave me plenty of room for myself and all of my gear,also has a small vestibule. I also found this tent kept me comfortable temperature wise for a late winter trip, temps at night were in the mid 30s.

I really like the fact that this tent weighs less than 4 lbs. I also thought the quality of construction was excellent. I have heard that VauDe has a one man version of this tent now but I have not seen it yet.
