From Sierra Trading Post:
"CLOSEOUTS . Sierra Designs' Baku 3 tent may be the most weight-efficient 3-person backpacking tent available. Its large footprint is made even larger by two vestibules for extra gear storage. The combination of single- and double-wall construction is crafted to provide strength and ventilation where they're needed most, without extra weight. Ripstop tent body and rain fly are a single piece for simple set-up and less noise in the wind.

"On Sale. Free Shipping. Sierra Designs Baku 3 Tent (Fall 2007) Add Baku 3 Footprint to Cart for FREE with Tent Purchase Sierra Designs Baku 3 Tent (Spring 2007)The hybrid single- and double-wall design of the Baku 3 by Sierra Designs saves weight, speeds pitching time, and remains weatherproof.At four pounds, 13 ounces, the Baku 3 is the lightest three-person two-door tent out there! Two covered vestibules hide packs, gear, and boots, while the hybrid single-double wall construction saves weight without sacrificing weatherproof reliability. Mesh doors and two cross-vents keep air moving to spoil condensation's plans, meaning you wake up with a drier, more livable tent. DAC Featherlite NSL poles shed weight, but remain resilient in high winds and throughout the seasons. Even though it's ultralight, we still keep the 70-denier floor and treat it and the vestibule with Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh - your tent stays newer, longer, and you won't be left buying another shelter in two seasons' time.

From Backcountry.com:
"When your tent needs to sleep a party of three, look to the super light Sierra Designs Baku 3. This three-season tent's single-double hybrid wall design and built-in vestibule gives you and the other musketeers a dry place to hang your hats on the trail. This lean, mean tent comes in at a feather-light 4lb 13oz trail weight, so when you're dividing gear among your other roommates, the Baku won't put a dent in your pack's weight. The Baku's mesh doors and two cross vents keep things cool in warmer temps. This backpacking tent's burly 70 D floor gives your home away from home a sturdy and water-resistant foundation. If you have to pack after an evening deluge, The Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh coating adds an anti-bacterial, anti-fungus barrier to your Baku."

"Great weight for 3 person. Faired well in the rain with no leaks. The built-in vestibules catch a lot of the condensation when (2 walls worth) camping in the cold/wet."

Baku 3
Reviewed by steve179, Feb 28, 2008

"The Baku 3 is a good performing tent and pretty good value at some of the closeout prices currently available.

I've used it in cold/dry and cold/wet conditions primarily along the Appalachians. If properly ventilated, the condensation is comparatively minor and manageable, no more than one would expect with two single walls."
