Here's what other sites are saying:
From REI:
"Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Cam-Loc system and DAC Featherlite poles combine to provide an extra boost of strength and rigidity. Full-coverage rainfly has integrated vestibule to provide gear storage out of the rain. Includes stakes, guylines and tighteners, pole repair sleeve, stuff sacks and footprint. Interior pockets are waterproof next to the sidewall and mesh inside so your stuff stays dry and visible. Mesh panels along the full length of the tent and at the door and rear window provide extra ventilation. Non-wicking stake loops and fly attachments won't transmit water inside. Reflective guyout loops allow night visibility; reflective, noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. Sewn-in floor stays taut to provide maximum usable space; heavy-duty polyurethane coating and factory-taped main floor seam keep out water. Special buy. Stash Door has a circular zipper track to allow opening from the side or bottom; then stash it out of the way in an internal mesh pocket. The Clip 3 is a lightweight and compact tent that's great for bicycle touring, hiking or paddling adventures. Treated with Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh to help prevent the growth of odor-causing fungus and mildew to extend tent's life. Two-pole design ensures swift setup and allows ventilation between tent body and waterproof rainfly. White tent canopy allows increased light transmission for bright living space."

"This is a great tent and there are a lot of good reviews for it. I bought it for the price which was to die for ($130 on clearance from REI). I am a big guy (6'2", 250lbs. ) and wanted a tent that was long enough that I wouldn't touch the sides and lite enough to Solo with and bring all of my gear inside."

"Overall this is a good tent. Naturally, there is no way you're going to fit three adults with gear in this tent. I took this tent to the Rawah wilderness on a eighteen-mile, three-day hike. It rained the entire time we were out there. The first night there was some very slight leaking around my feet but discovered the next morning (tent was put up at night) that there was a small tree leaning against the back section."

"My wife and I get this tent for backpacking in Yosemite, mostly based on its weight. I really couldn't tell the difference of the tent's weight. What is an extra 5 lbs when you're carrying a 55lbs pack? When set up tight and correctly this tent is completely waterproof."

"I used this tent on a spike camp hunting trip. I found the weight for its size great. The rain fly was a godsend! We were spiked camped at 1200 feet, it rained and snowed lightly for three days on and off. The vestibale is a bit small if you're trying to keep all your gear out of the rain."

"I used this tent in the Adirondacks. During a 5-day trip to climb three mountains, Santanoni, Couchsacharaga, and Panther, it poured for three straight days. My brother and I spent those days inside this tent. This tent got wet on the corners and a droplet or two sneaked through the unseamed sealed stitches in the fly."

"I bought this tent last summer and have used it extensively since then. It has performed great. It has stood up to several Alaskan windstorms, one of which was pretty major. It did flap all night though -- a fair amount of unsupported fabric. I'm not sure I'd trust it for snow, but for the warmer months, it is the perfect tent for me -- lots of room for the weight, simple and watertight."

"This tent is the least of comfort that you need. It allows my 6'00'' frame to sit up straight. It allows me to sleep fully streched out and will allow my wife and canine plenty of room. I bought last year's model from REI when the clip3 cd was on sale for more than twice and the new model doesn't even have the moonlight window or foot window; this is one tent they should have never changed."

"I bought this tent for my two sons to take on Boy Scout trips. So far it's been great. 12-year-old has taken it on several trips by himself and can carry and pitch it by himself. We've taken it on family camping trips and it's been great. We only put two people in it though. I think three would be a tight fit."

"This is a three-person version of the SD Clip Flashlight. It is a non-freestanding tent. I have used this tent from the Pacific Northwest to Italy and have loved it. It is exceptionally weather proof, sturdy and easy/quick to set up. The only drawback that I have found is that the vestibule is way too small."
