Took this tent out for the first time last weekend to do some hiking in the Daniel Boone Nat'l Forest with my girlfriend. Setup was very easy, it took maybe 5 minutes or so. Inside was a little cramped for two people, just make sure you're very close with whoever you're sharing the tent with, because you'll pretty much be sleeping elbow to elbow. We were both able to use a sleeping pad with a little bit of overlap in the middle. I'm about 6'1 or so and I did notice that when I laid down on my back my feet would graze the mesh at the end of the tent, not really a big deal though, at least not for me. There was plenty of headroom so I was able to sit up without my head touching mesh.
As far as rain protection goes, I was pretty impressed with this tent. We endured very heavy rain on and off throughout the evening and night. The tent kept us very dry. I only have one complaint, there was one spot where the poles crossed at the top of the tent where the fly seemed to leak a little. I think I may just need to seam seal the entire fly, even though ALPS says you don't have to. But other than that we had no water get in from the sides.
We had two weekend packs(3400 and 4000cu in) with us, with one in each vestibule. It covered these easily with room to spare for our shoes and did a good job of keeping our gear dry too.
Overall, this is a pretty good tent, especially for the price. And I would definitely recommend it, but I would also recommend that you seam seal the fly before taking it out.

At the price, this is a great tent. The quality is there and it compares well to tents twice the price for a weight penalty of only a few ounces. I set mine up side-by-side with my friend's $250 REI quarter dome T2. He was impressed, and the only differences I noted on his were reflective guy lines, an included pole splint ($5) and a lighter fly. Plus more footroom on his. However, his fly lacked the little windows on the Alps: I actually used mine to check on another camper who was near my bike in the morning.
Here are the only downsides I can find so far with the Zephyr:
1) The footprint is hard to find. Search for "floor saver."
2) There are partial sleeves so you cannot pitch the footprint/fly and then be sheltered to pitch the rest of the tent. However, you can pitch just footprint (not included) and fly for a light shelter.
3) With the fly door unzipped all the way, water can enter the tent. Just don't unzip all the way if it is raining.
4) The tapered design would leave things tight in the foot area if a second person were present. I plan to just use it solo or with one of my kids.
EDIT: I have now decided that #3 is not bad, as it allows a nice view straight up at the stars when you are laying down with the fly open.
All in all, I was very pleased. I found a deal on a Zephyr 3 and snatched it up without hesitation for the rest of the family, or if I need a tent for two adults.

I just spent my first night out in this tent. My buddy and I were going to leave our rain flys off as the evening was cool and clear, but decided to avoid the hassle of a midnight scramble. At two in the morning the heavens clouded over, opened up, and poured down furiously. I had hoped for a more gentle trial of the Zephyr 2, but...
I woke up completely dry the next morning. I did find a bit of condensation had made its way through the floor under my sleeping pad, where a puddle had formed in a depression in the ground. It was nothing major, and next time I'll be sure not to set up in a hole. This tent is lightweight, coming in under 5 lbs., very easy and quick to set up, and most importantly, weather ready. This is my first introduction to ALPS products and I intend to consider more of their products in the future.

I like a roomy tent that is not too heavy and is easy to transport. This item fits the bill. It is only 5 pounds and is simple to pack. The tent has ample room for me and all my gear. I can move in it without constantly brushing against the sides.
The Zephyr is easy and quick to pitch and offers fine protection from the elements. Zephyr has a polyester fly and provides a water proof abode.
I like this item.

I should point out from the get-go I have the Zenith 2 AL tent (which I purchased from Sierra Trading Post.com). 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.
