Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"The 3-person, freestanding Sierra Designs Hyperlight 3 AST backpacking tent is sturdy and quite spacious. DAC Featherlite® aluminum poles are lightweight yet incredibly strong; with extrusions rather than inserts, they are less susceptible to breakage. Rear Arch Support pole is integrated as a natural part of the pole structure so it braces and strengthens the tent at its foundation. Full-coverage, seam-taped, waterproof ripstop nylon rainfly features integrated vestibules to provide gear storage out of the weather. Simple to set up, the 2-pole design with Swift Clips™ offers space to sit up inside tent and allows ventilation between tent and rainfly. SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. No-see-um mesh panels maintain proper ventilation to prevent condensation. Optic white tent canopy offers increased light transmission for a bright living space. Reflective guyout loops allow night visibility; reflective, noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. Non-wicking stake loops help keep tent floor dry. Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh™ treatment thwarts the growth of odor-causing mold, fungus and mildew, greatly extending your enjoyment and the tent's usable life. Comes with stakes, guylines and tighteners, and stuff sacks. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Special buy."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Sierra Designs Hyperlight 3 AST 3-Person 3-Season Tent gives you room for three at the weight of a two-person tent."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Sierra Designs Hyperlight 3 AST three-person three-season tent builds on the 2-person Hyperlight ASTs legacy. The Hyperlight 3 takes the strength and light weight of its predecessor and adds room for a third person."

"This is a terrific 2-person tent for backpacking.

Actually, it's a decent tent for three people who are very good friends or family members, who use it according to its designed purpose as a lightweight backpackable shelter. My two young-adult sons and I (6-2 180, 5-11 190, 6-1 220) took it to Colorado in summer 05."

"We are JR, Jessica and Reed, just-research review team. We bought our SD Hyperlight 3 AST in December of 05 in Southern Ontario. We paid $575 (CND), although it was a special order for the '06 model which had the second door, plus $40 for the additional footprint, for fast-packing trips."
