Here's what other sites are saying:

From EMS:
"The monsoon-worthy, superlight Mountain Hardwear Haven 3 is detailed with features like welded zipper flaps that don't absorb water and extra-thick waterproof floor coating. 3-season. 3-person. Freestanding. Watertight construction with welded body construction, fully taped 30-denier fly, welded corners and guy clip anchors. Waterproof polyether urethane floor has the most durable waterproof coating available. The Mountain Hardwear Haven 3 has been room tested with 1200" of rain in 24 hours. Superlight option: pitch with fly and Pitch Light footprint to shave pounds (footprint sold separately). Two dry entry vestibules with two dual slider mesh doors. Mesh wall and door panels for ventilation. Atlas Scandium S poles are ultralight and super-strong, with cold-resistant shock. Offset pole and strut design creates vertical main door increasing usable vestibule space."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"For a group of three who want to travel fast and light, the Mountain Hardware Haven 3 Tent provides uncompromised shelter at less than six pounds. Mountain Hardware puts their tent designs through rigorous testing, placing each tent in a rain room that serves up 1200 inches of rain and swirling wind in a 24 hour period. Knowing this, there's no question that the Haven 3 is more than ready for a drippy four days in the Olympic range or a series of afternoon thunderstorms in the Rockies. Key features include two doors with dry entry vestibules, an SVX window built into the fly so the occupants can check conditions outside without unzipping the vestibule, and a reflective starter point, guy out loops, and zipper pulls for hassle free nighttime pitching. The Haven 3 also features Pitch Light compatibility, a system that gives the user the option to make an especially lightweight shelter (barely over 2 lbs.) from the fly sheet, poles, and Haven 3 Footprint (sold separately)."

From Backcountry.com:
"When you and two of your buddies pitch the Mountain Hardwear Haven 3-Person 3-Season Tent, you'll be amazed at how much space you have for all your gear. Mountain Hardwear made the Haven's doors vertical to eliminate dead space on the floor and under the vestibule. The Haven also has a concave front wall to increase vestibule space even further and provide plenty of room for cooking and storing gear. The back door is also covered with a vestibule with enough space for a large backpack to sit in out of the rain. This design cuts down on the tent's weight, bringing it to a scant 5lb 8oz. Split between the three of you, that's less than 2lb each."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Mountain Hardwear Haven 3 is a superlight, roomy tent that you can live in for days. With great space to weight ratios, Havens feature a dry entry vestibule and are well detailed with features like welded zipper flaps that don’t absorb water, and mesh wall and door panels for ventilation.

"My wife and I bought this tent in 2006 for a cross-country bicycle trip. We lived out of this tent for three months and it worked flawlessly. Light enough to carry on the bikes over numerous mountain ranges, bone dry during heavy rainstorms, stood up well against high winds and was very easy and quick to set up and take down. Best tent I've ever owned."

"It fell apart. I'm writing the same report about two Mountain Hardwear tents because they both fell apart this year.

In defense of the Haven 3, I really enjoyed it for almost three years, then it just disassembled. Pieces I hadn't even used came apart."

"I used this tent last September on the CDT in the Weminuche Wilderness at 12-13k feet elevation. We had very nice weather for the most part, allowing us to stargaze a couple of nights without the fly. But our last night at altitude saw temps in the teens and strong winds."
