From Campmor:
"The Big Agnes Emerald Mountain 3 SL is a superlight roomy tent for 3 people. It has shockcorded aluminum poles that are joined together by hubs to create 1 pole set that is unparalleled for ease of set up. It has two attached storage vestibules that can be used for excess or wet gear. There is an optional additional vestibule (#27742) available that will provide even more storage space. The all no-see-um mesh body allows cooling air into the tent minimizing condensation and allowing for great nighttime views weather permitting. When weather does not permit stargazing the full coverage fly is up to the task of repelling the worst weather. Fly vents allow air circulation even when the rain is pouring and the fly is closed.

Reviewed by DaveSully, Jun 18, 2008

"Really happy with this tent: build quality, ease of assembly, dryness (distance between inner and outer) and most of all space are second to none. I have a lighter tent by Hellsport but in the end, we always take this one.

The optional, zip-on, vestibule is great if you have a large, wriggly dog as we do."
