Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Sierra Designs Hyperlight 3-Person 3-Season Tent gives you room for three at the weight of a two-person tent. The Jake's corners eliminate pole rotation that causes tents to weaken under stress, increasing the tent's strength by 40%, so you feel secure in stormy weather. Two doors eliminate steamroller exits when nature calls in the middle of the night, and a roomy five square foot vestibule for each door gives everyone plenty of storage space. Internal pockets keep tabs on headlamps, books, and other small items, and door-stash pockets prolong the doors' lifespan and cut down on clutter."

"Thanks to the reviews on this site, I purchased my Hyperlight 3 with the intention of using it as a 2 person tent. The tent is comparable in weight to many 2 person tents and I figured the extra space would come in handy.

The tent is very easy to set up and the two entrances (which are spaced about 1m apart) make it very easy to enter/exit without disturbing the other person."

"This tent is incredibly easy to set up and probably takes around 5-10 min. after your first time. A loop/clip on the fly and one on the tent body are blue, so it's easy to figure out what goes where if it's dark out.

The tent's biggest problem is that it's billed as a 3-person tent."

"A very good quality, sturdy, and lightweight tent.

The tent's shape make it impossible for more than two people to fit in if you use full length sleeping mats. Two large males (both around 6 feet tall) fit comfortably. The floor area (44 sqf) is in-line for a three-person tent, but the awkward shape does not allow for three full-length mats -- I can imagine getting three people in if you use half-lenght mats."

"I really wanted to give this tent a higher rating because I love Sierra Designs products, but in good conscious, I cannot. The design of this tent is a “kite” floor plan. Not only is this tent not a three-person tent, it really doesn’t work well as a two-person tent unless both occupants are 5’10” or under."
