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 don't know about high wind but I have never had a problem staying dry and comfortable in this tent.

However, I would have to disagree that this a three-person tent. It is a two-person tent with a little room for stuff. Overall this is a great backpacking tent and a good all around general tent.
About setting up the Clip 3, yes it is SUPER easy to set up. I have done it in under four minutes in the dark and I am pretty sure I could do it blindfolded. There is no easy tent to set up that I have seen.
