Well Designed but Small

Ranked #2105 - 3-Season Tents

I bought this for my two teenage sons to share on backpacking trips. In hindsight, I wish I had gone for the Velox 3 to give them a little more room inside. The Velox 2 is quite tight. But the design is great, with doors and vestibules on both sides, and the quality of construction is very high. It sets up easily and the optional footprint (highly recommended) keeps the floor nice and dry. Just go with the larger size if the two campers are anything other than tiny.
