Totally awesome tent for two people.
If you're solo, this one's a pound lighter and $10 cheaper:

You could save another pound and more money by going with tarp + bugscreen, or just save weight with a hammock. But if you really, really, really want a tent
per se, you won't go wrong with one of those.
I was worried about ventilation, because one thing that I absolutely HATE is the sunny morgnings, when you wake up in what looks like a oven. So I was attracted by the North Face tent because of the large mesh portion in the roof.
You sleeped in the Sierra tent in summer without any problems ?
