The North Face Dyad 22 Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Don't do it

Ranked #705 - 3-Season Tents
March 5, 2009
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)
