Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear EV 3 was designed with help from Ed Viesturs to create the ultimate, ultralight 3-person 4-season tent for mountaineering and alpine climbing. This single-wall tent is made with highly breathable Conduit FR fabric and uses zip-closable mesh vents on the body to increase ventilation. The EV 3 uses four Scandium poles and an Expedition Tension Arch to stand up to Himalayan-force winds without adding undue weight. The EV 3 has floor zipper by the door where you can open it up, so you don't track snow into your shelter from the storm. The best part is that the EV 3 tent sleeps you and your two rope-mates at a weight of only 6lb 13oz."

From REI:
"This single-wall expedition tent is built to handle extended use in the harshest environments. It shrugs off heavy winds and snow loads. With the creation of the EV 3, Mountain Hardwear has built a super-strong tent that is not only waterproof and breathable, but fire-retardant as well. For strength, a system of non-stretch panels map the tent's main tension lines along the poles and down the side panels to the main guy points. These panels act as a fabric truss structure that resists deformation by holding the poles in a stable arch. Compared to traditional tent fabrics that stretch and allow poles to bend, this truss structure reinforces the poles with the tent body structure. Conduit FR body is made from a strong polyurethane-coated polyester; ripstop nylon floor is lightweight, with reduced porosity. All seams are welded and waterproof, so there is no need for seam sealing. Atlas Scandium XL poles are very light, super-strong and completely field serviceable without tools. Additionally, these tough XL poles come with subzero Shok cord and heat-treated aluminum threaded pole tips. Trim floor design fits well on narrow ledges and snow platforms. Integrated vestibule with floor also has a convenient zippered porthole for grabbing snow and getting rid of dirt. Welded waterproof vents on the tent body and vestibule can opened for fresh air or shuttered closed during storms. Water-resistant, inverted, double rainfly zippers permit easy ventilation. Large, non-yellowing, non-clouding, clear SVX film windows add light and views. Gated Power Clips at all pole intersections increase structural strength. Large stake-out loops accept both skis and snow pickets. Bar-tacked stress points add strength and durability; bias-bound zippers allow ease of use and extended zipper life. Four large welded mesh storage pockets help keep things organized inside."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of Mountain Hardwear EV 3 Tent Based on Ed Viesturs' specifications for a compact, light, strong, expedition tent, the EV 3™ is designed for the rigors of high altitude mountaineering. The Mountain Hardwar EV 3 tent shelters three persons, has a trim design to fit on ledges, and its clip set-up aids high-wind pitches. VX02 fabric - a lightweight, strong, non-stretch laminate - stabilizes and strengthens when pitched, and Atlas Scandium XL poles add sturdiness while shaving weight. Interior zip and built in ventilation help frost management while integrated vesibule provides protection from the elements."The strongest and lightest three man tent I've had the pleasure of living in. On Cho Oyu during a windstorm, all the other tents in our neighborhood got thrashed and broken. The EV3 was tight as a drum and gave us a great sense of security. This is the ultimate three man, light and fast tent." – Ed Viesturs, MountaineerTrust the Mountain Hardwear EV 3 for f"
