I used an REI Quarter Dome (2 person) for the second half of my trans-am tour last summer, and was very happy with it. The OLD North Face Rock 22 that I had been using just had too many problems that I had to fix on the road, so I sprang for a new tent when I got to the Nashville REI. Like I said, I am very happy with it so far; it sets up very quickly, and is about 4 1/2 lbs packed. One feature that I really like is that the pole sections are short (about 17 inches versus 22 inches for the Rock 22) so that the tent doesn't stick out as far off the end of my rear rack. I can even put it in my panniers if I am touring light and have the extra space. I have not used it in windy conditions, but it handles heavy rain quite well. Anyway, to answer stringbreaker's implied question, the Quarter Dome is still a great tent.
