Here's what other sites are saying:

From EMS:
"Easy to pitch, the Star 3 offers backpackers excellent ventilation to fight condensation on humid nights. Two doors. Two vestibules."Our testers appreciated the quick, intuitive pitch of the freestanding, two-door shelter during a blustery downpour in coastal Maine. There's 47 inches of headroom courtesy of prebent poles, and plenty of elbowroom, meaning no clothes-changing contortions." 1 Backpacker Magazine's 2007 Gear Guide. Ample mesh screening for air circulation. Two doors at each end for easy access. Large front vestibule for keeping gear and clothes out of the rain. PU window on front vestibule for extra light. Small rear vestibule. 15 square feet of total vestibule space. Full-coverage rainfly made of polyester to reduce UV degradation. Tie-downs on fly for a drum-tight pitch in wind."

"This is a well built tent that can probably take quite a beating and stand up to lots of rain, however it's kind of an awkward design. It's got the floor space of a three person tent but there's only adequate headroom for 2 to sit up in. The other part that makes me ask why is the rear door."

Star 3 Tent
Reviewed by Stuart, Jul 03, 2006

"Camped out three nights with 100% humidity and no sign of condensation in the inner tent. Roomy for two, snug for three (the occupants were 6', 5'10" and 5'8"). We were able to fit two backpacks in the front vestibule and one in the rear if you can stake it out far enough. Very good value for price."
