The Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 3 Tent provides space for three campers at less weight than most two-person tents. Thanks to a third arch pole, this tent has steep walls which increase useable interior space and vestibule space at the same time. Mountain Hardwear's double-door, double-vestibule design allows easy access from both sides. No more trampling your two friends on the way to your sleeping bag. The Skyledge 3 Tent also includes several internal pockets to keep your lip balm and sunglasses from disappearing somewhere on the floor.
Bottom Line: Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 3 Tent—less weight, more space.

Reviews for the Skyledge 2 say that it's shorter than the 88" claimed length, making it a poor choice for 6'+ campers, any idea if the Skyledge 3 is the same in this regard?

When you say "(REI actually lists this as a two person tent)", please they actually carry this one and the 2.1 version. The 3P capacity is determined by the manufacturer, it is not up to the retailer to decide.

I just bought this tent a week ago. It is smaller than I expected. It says 38 sq. ft. floor space, but I would say usable floor space is about 30 sq. ft. at best. The floor curls up on the sides about 4 inches each and about 3 inches on the ends and it is a tight pitched tent so that space cannot be pressed to the ground and actually used for anything. By my measurements the seam to seam floor is 88" x 62" but the usable on the ground measurements are 82" x 54" and that is being generous. That gives real floor space of about 30 sq. ft. I am 5'9" 140# and I think this tent is perfect luxury for two of me (REI actually lists this as a two person tent). Considering the loft of a sleeping bag, I think anyone taller than six foot would wish they had a longer tent. I bought it to be a spacious 2 person tent for myself and my girlfriend and I think it will fit that use beautifully, however, wouldn't you know it, my first expected use turns out is likely me and two guys and I'm not sure I can really use it for that. It has thoughtful features and quality construction and a blind monkey could set it up in 5 min. I think I will be happy with this tent because my intended use was as a spacious 2 person tent, but if I truly was after a 3 person tent I likely would return it to the store. As far as performance, I'm confident it will be superb.

Spacious, but third-pole and vestibule design are poor

This is a nice tent - it's spacious and light.
The third pole is a poor design, however - it ripped through the fly fairly quickly. And the vestibule isn't a very good shape, in my opinion - making it pretty small. Finally, when it's windy, the tent just doesn't feel that solid - frankly I think they went a big bit for a standard two pole X design.
Overall, I'm kind of unimpressed, especially considering MH's usual excellence with tents.
Backcountry.com claims this tent is 4lbs 12 oz Mountain hardware

Awsome Tent

Solid tent. Sets up quickly and easily. Slept in it
twice so far. Although I didnt get to test it in the
rain or wind, I totally trust this tent to handle almost
anything mother nature throws at it because of the
quality and design of this tent. I took my time and
checked out all the other 3 man tents, but this one
won we over because of the light weight. Weighs in
on my scale at 5.8 lbs trail weight. I think it makes
a very roomy 2 man tent which is how I'm going to
use it most of the time. Split the weight with the other
guy. I think it would be tight with 3 adult men but
you can do it with the floor view that mhw shows you.
As far as length goes, you wouldnt have a problem
with someone a little over 6ft. A bit pricey but you get
what you pay for. I'm sure this tent will last me many
years, so go for it, you wont regret it.
Change me.
