Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Comes with stakes, guylines, stuff sacks and footprint. DAC Featherlite poles improve strength-to-weight ratio; Clip-Locs at pole intersections increase stability in windy conditions. Door features a circular zipper track that allows opening from the side or bottom; then stash it in an internal mesh pocket and it's out of the way. Interior pockets are waterproof toward sidewall and mesh toward inside: stowed items stay dry and visible. Mesh panels on door, sides and ceiling provide ample flow-through ventilation to prevent condensation. Rainfly with integral vestibule provides space for gear and features a clear polyurethane seam-taped window to let in views and more light. Rear AST enhances tent's ability to withstand high winds by bracing poles low to the ground, increasing strength by at least 40%. Semi-rectangular floor design and arching side poles provide a spacious tent with increased headroom; steep sidewalls shed rain and wind. Special buy. Stake loops and rainfly attachments are non-wicking material, eliminating the possibility they will transmit water into tent. SuperSeal Floor combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. Tent Guard with Ultra-Fresh helps prevent the growth of odor-causing fungus and mildew to extend tent's life. This lightweight, rugged Orion 3 tent features Arch Support Technology (AST) and DAC Featherlite poles it's built to tame lousy weather!"

From Moosejaw:
"Stronger than many 4-season tents, the Orion 3 AST by Sierra Designs sails through storms with ease. Arch Support Technology provides ultimate strength while the Double Track Vestibule can be used as an awning or short sheeted for great ventilation during inclement weather. SuperSeal Floor and Clip-Loc technology seal the deal: in foul weather the Orion 3 AST cannot be beat.Great for: Backpacking, Camping 3 Person / 3 Season.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Designed with the same outstanding qualities found in the Sierra Designs Orion AST, the Sierra Designs Orion 3 AST features the same wind tunnel proven Arch Support Technology (AST) in with plenty of room for three adults. Feeling the walls of your tent collapse in a windstorm is the antithesis of a polite morning wake up call, so Sierra Designs did extra homework while researching and reinforcing this tough tent. The Orion 3 AST has Sierra Designs' innovative and patented Clip-Locs design that dynamically locks the poles at their intersections, enhancing the structural strength of the tent by over 60% without adding weight or bulk. A rear arch support remains integrated into the pole structure to brace and strengthen the tent near the foundation. These features provide the Orion 3 AST with additional integrity worthy of withstanding stress in exposed environments. Because of the larger capacity, the DAC Featherlite 7001 poles in the Orion 3 AST feature slightly larger diameters than the smaller Sierra Designs Orion AST, but all of the other great stuff remains the same, including Sierra's patented Stash Door portal that neatly stuffs into an internally mounted pocket where it remains dry and clean. Color-coded webbing and poles as well as reflective zipper pulls help facilitate late night setup.
