Good Bivy tent - with one change it could great
Just used on a stormy winter climbing trip. Held up well in high winds. But I really wish the door hinged from the top or the side. Getting in and out during a storm guarantees your getting snow in your tent. Change the way the door hinges and this would be a near perfect mountaineering tent.

Hesitate
I'm looking to buy this tent. It look awesome. But the fact there is no optional vestibule make me hesitate between this one and other brands single wall tent.

Poor manufacturing quality
HI, I am very disappointed by the lack of seriousness in the manufacturing of the poles of this tent: none of the aluminum sleeves were correctly glued into the carbon poles. I was lucky to be able to repair it, otherwise it would have cost me the summit.

Great little bivvy tent
I have not used the tent for it’s true purpose of mountaineering, but it has served as a great all around tent. I’m 6’2” and it’s not very roomy but I make it work with my pack and my boots. I think MSR nailed it with the design and the simplicity of the pitch. My only complaint is that they don’t have any vestibule add ons like the black diamond single wall tents have, otherwise this tent is a great bare minimum all around shelter that’ll keep you safe in any conditions.

Great Background Tent
Easy and quick to set up. It's packs tight and doesn't add much weight to your pack. Ideal tent for backcountry expeditions in any season. It breaths well in dry/cold conditions. I did end up with condensation and water collecting in the corners during a couple of humid days at altitude in the snow. Bring a sponge for those days. The light self-supporting frame makes it easy to shake out dirt.

Carbon poles failed
My daughter and I were thrilled to purchase two of the Advance Pro tents. We are small women and not overly muscular and we were very careful setting them up. However, both of us had splitting of the carbon poles the first time we used our tents. We were very, very disappointed! The poles should be strong enough for normal use!

Bad in rain
The Advance Pro is my 2nd MSR. I loved it until I encountered rain last weekend. For the price and the quality; I was not worried till I started getting drips over my head and little puddles on each corners. Disappointed

MSR Advance Pro 2
It's a great 4 season tent for short people. I'm 6'2"" so I have a 6'6"" inside length winter sleeping bag. Consider 8 inches of down insulation for a winter sleeping bag. 78 inches for the inside of the bag plus 16 inches (2 x 8 inches) for insulation is 94 inches. 94 inches or the sleeping bag is squished against the tent wall and it's cold. This tent is 82 inches long. Not even close. Does anyone make a light long 4 season tent like this for taller people? C'mon MSR help us out!

Good for moderate to light-extreme mountaineering!
I've camped on dirt, gravel, and snow with this tent--each time it proves to be exceptional in keeping out water, wind, and the cold. It's light and packs well and provides good ventilation to cook in during rainy days (I'd keep the door 3/4 open if I'm cooking multiple meals to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning). There are some small things I did not like, for example, I'm not a fan of how the door opens. The top-down opening causes a lot of snow and water to drip into the tent. It is small for a 2-man, but perfect for an alpine 1-man. I'm also wondering whether its possible to buy an add-on vestibule. Overall an exceptional tent. I'd recommend it.
