From Ramsey Outdoor:
"Seedhouse Series tents are strong, lightweight, three season backpacking tents that set up quickly due to their hub pole design. The all mesh tent body provides great ventilation and the full coverage fly gives you protection from the elements. This series has enough floor and storage space to stay comfortable and organized - all at a great value."

Walls are constructed of woven nylon mesh, providing excellent ventilation and 360 views. Includes clear plastic window in vestibule door and mesh floor pocket for organizing the small stuff.

From Backcountry.com:
"Getting out of the elements is great, but loses its luster if you have to lug around a heavy tent. The Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 Person Tent with Cross-Over Pole & Footprint gives generous internal space and weather protection for you and a partner. Best of all, the Seedhouse does it while remaining just under 4 pounds. A unique 3-pole system maximizes frame efficiency while maintaining strength with lightweight aluminum. The Seedhouse uses plastic clips to attach frame to body, providing maximum ventilation and ultra-quick setup. When speed and weight are the most important factors, the Seedhouse rules the day."

"Used this tent on a mild weekend in the Red River Gorge, KY. Packed down tight and was easy to set up. The only complaint I have is this tent is too much room for one person, but not big enough for two people. Could probably have saved some space and weight with the SL 1."

"I got this tent for Christmas. I haven't used it yet but, set it up in my house. It looks like a quality tent though. It looks small for two people though. I'm 6'2" and can fit in comfortably. I wouldn't want to be in there with any one but my girlfriend though. I can't wait to test it out when all this snow melts. It sets up really easy, by myself."

"I set up this tent in the dark, with only a headlamp, by myself in 10 minutes, including staking time. The weight is great for a two-person tent.

It's better as a one-person tent, as the sides of the tent are too low for someone to sit up, unless you're directly below the tent pole apex. I made sure to be gentle with the tent mesh, as it is somewhat delicate."

"This tent is very easy to set up, one person can (and does) set it up with no problems. I have had no problems with condensation in the tent, and don't anticipate to as long as I keep the fly taut. If you're comfortable with your hiking partner, two people can fit into it comfortably, but as I said, you definitely want to be comfortable with the other person."

"With no real instructions, a constant raining and nightfall approaching I eaisly fugured out what goes where. I found the workmanship excellent and the coolest thing, you can take the tent down from the inside and bag it whilst remaining dry and the only time I got wet was to quickly knock down the fly, fold the poles and gather up the pegs."
