This review is from: ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 2 Backpacking Tent (Sports)
I should point out from the get-go I have the Zenith 2 AL tent (which I purchased from Sierra Trading Post ). It is the same exact tent except for the color of the rainfly. All I can say this is one excellent little tent. Very lightweight, has good ventilation, quick and easy set-up and holds up to adverse weather quite well.

I used my Zenith (Zephyr) in weather conditions ranging from hard rains and strong winds to light snowfalls. Held up and continues to hold up very well.

The tent's quality is very good. Hard to find a tent as good for the price. Beats any BIG name brand tents (such as Sierra Designs or Mountain Hardware) in terms of quality and price. A definate great buy in my opinion.
