The North Face Dyad 22 Tent 2-Person 3-Season - 2007

easy to set up
pretty good ventilation, though it seems condensation is sometimes unavoidable depending on the weather.
practical for backpackers who want to minimize weight yet sleep in comfort as opposed to a bivy. its also cheaper than other competitively light tents.

Lived in the tent for two months over a three month period of time. One month spent driving down the Baja Peninsula, one month in Chile (Patagonia), and one month in Belize.

The condensation was a guarantee, if it is cold, you wake up in an ice shell/cocoon.

It is light, easy to set up, spills wind well if the direction is constant. Horrible Horrible Horrible in the rain.

Be careful with the poles, they have weird angles and when feeding them through the pole sleeves everything comes taut and the poles will snap if not in the exact spot.

Light weight, but Sierra Designs Asp 2 might be a better option despite the increase in weight.

This tent would be great if you are only planning on a single night in slightly warmer conditions. (which wouldn't be the case if you are above 5 or 6,000 feet)

The dyad is both light and dry. It was easy to set up and had plenty of room for me and my backpacking gear. Might be a little hot for people in warmer climates though. All in all a great value.

Marketed as a 2 person, I'd have to argue and say 1 couple, but there's nothing wrong with that! Great tent, easy setup, looks sharp too. Like other reviews, I did notice condensation too, but that's what you get from a single wall. My only real complaint was storage space, but then again, with an ultralight tent, this isn't surprising. Easy enough to overcome though, a 5x7 tarp, some guy lines, and a stick added a great vestibule to keep our stuff dew free. Bottom line: You'll be snuggling with your tent mate, even if you don't want to.

Girlfriend gave me this for Christmas one year. It is super small and super light. My only complaint is with the condensation in the mornings. I have only really slept in it with her and we were fine on space. I am about 6'1", 185 lbs and she is 5'6" 120 lbs. Absolutely love it.

It says 2 person tent, not sure where they fit maybe they meant 2 midgets!!!!!

Product description lists tent weight as 33 ounces. NOT! Actual weight of tent and poles, (no stuff bag or stakes) is 2 pounds 11 ounces (i.e. 43 ounces)

A good weather tent. Some problems with condensation at lower temps (<50F)and in long rain storms. I think there is too much internal surface for the vent area provided. Small? Yes. 30 sqft is small, barely enough. Just don't be a big person...think small! Yes, 2#11 is light, and it packs small. The condensation is my only bug with it.

This tent is wicked, ultra light, strong design, easy to set up. Like most two man tents on the market, this is a really tight fit for two. I just used it as a solo tent and it was nice and roomy for just me. Not a tent for warm climates though, it does heat up a bit. If I find a better tent on the market in this price range I'll be amazed.
