From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Sierra Designs Tengu 3 Tent (Spring 2008) - Add Tengu 3 Footprint to Cart for FREE with Tent Purchase Sierra Designs Tengu 3 Tent (Spring 2008)The Tengu 3 Tent by Sierra Designs - two doors, one small vestibule, and one enormous 22-square-foot vestibule. We've all been soaked building camp in a downpour, but with the Tengu 3 you'll at least know your tent will stay dry - you can pitch the fly and poles, and the tent body hangs on the inside, so it's completely sheltered during pitching. We use RCT technology to increase interior space, a Quick Pitch Swivel Hub for fast set-up and bomber performance, and RCT Swift Clips to speed pitching. Sew Free windows give inhabitants a sneak-peek at the outside world, while the same great organizational features from the Tengu 2 make gear organization a pleasure: hang loops in the vestibules, and enough space to pitch a Portable Attic. The 22-square-foot vestibule is literally large enough a hiker can change clothes while fully covered!

From REI:
"With a redesigned hub system to speed pitching in any weather, the Sierra Designs Tengu 3 sets up faster than ever before. Tengu offers three backpackers nice elbow room, two doors for easy entry and one large poled vestibule for storing gear. External Pitch feature makes the Tengu a premier choice when camping in the rain; poles attach to the outside of the rainfly to ensure dry shelter. DAC Featherlight NSL poles, Reverse Combi Technology (RCT) Swift Clips and a swivel hub add to a light, easily pitched, strong structure. Reverse combi-poles combine varying diameter pole sections to capitalize on strength, weight savings and headroom. RCT Swift Clips work in conjunction with reverse combi-poles for a fast and easy pitch especially effective in high winds. Redesigned with a wide angle of rotation, Quick Pitch Swivel Hub with H-Clip locks poles in place for increased strength. Color-coded webbing makes pitching this tent easier than making your bed! Stash Doors open from the side or bottom and store out of the way in internal pockets. SuperSeal Floor combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. Welded Sew-Free Windows in rainfly are tougher and more waterproof than sewn-and-sealed versions. Reflective guyout loops enhance night visibility; reflective noiseless zipper pulls are easy to see and eliminate that annoying jingle when it's windy. A multitude of gear pockets keep gear organized and off the floor. FastPack option allows poles, rainfly and footprint (sold separately) to be used without the tent body to create an extremely light shelter. PVC-free seam tape reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing this tent. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

Tengu 3
Reviewed by LBA7895, Mar 08, 2007

"I selected this tent after looking at probably 6 "finalists", using the criteria of: easy to pitch, could sit inside if I had to, could sit in the vestibule if I wanted to, could cook in the vestibule if I had to. I was also intrigued (and sold) by the fact the tent hangs inside the fly, so you can set this tent up in the rain and not get it wet inside."
