"If there weren't so many bugs where you're going, you'd just take a silnylon tarp along with your sawed-off toothbrush. Your solution: Pack the Big Agnes Seedhouse SL Tent for your ultra light backpacking trip and enjoy a bug-free haven. Better yet, you can sit up inside it, unlike your other lightweight option, a bivy sack. This three-season solo tent's trail weight is less than two-and-a-half pounds, and it has two mesh walls for cross ventilation. Should the weather turn foul, put on the Seedhouse's rain fly and store your pack in the vestibule. This tent features super lightweight, durable tent poles made using an eco-friendly process that eliminates the need for two toxic chemicals and that recycles wastewater. These aluminum poles fit together using Big Agnes' hub-pole system to make setup fast and easy, even for one person."

"I bought this tent new with the ground cloth and have used it for three trips (each trip had multiple night camps in different spots). I was attracted to it for its small pack size. I ride adventure touring motorcycles so, pack size is paramount. It easily fits inside a pannier box on my bike."

"A great one man tent. This tent is very light, spacious and sturdy. The tent comes with many tie-down spots assuring that it is not going anywhere in a storm. It is very light weight which reassures you that you’re not taking anymore weight than you have too."

"Read all the reviews and decided this sounded the best, so I got one and took it up into the Sierras for 8 days in June. It's a decent tent, but it didn't live up to the hype. First off, the front entry door is fairly low and difficult to get into."

"I have recently been able to use the Seedhouse SL1 flash-fly set-up and was very pleased with the stability and fly coverage. I stayed dry in a light rain with heavy winds. I love the less that 1# 11 oz. weight of the Seedhouse SL1 flash-fly configuration, the ease of set-up and the stability."

"I have had this tent for a little over a year and have used it for at least 50 nights in all kinds of weather and all over the country. I have used it on long section hikes of the AT and choose to sleep in it rather than most shelters. It is extremely light and at 22 ft2 and adequate height it is quite comfortable and weatherproof."

"Hiked 45+ miles in four days in Erwin, Tenn., area on the AT. Spent two nights in SL1 tent in perfect weather. Got my pack weight down to 21 Lbs without water. Enjoyed the light weight, also enjoyed the comfort."

"My Seedhouse SL1 has excellent interior space. I have plenty of room at the sides and bottom for my stuff. Headroom is excellent. The vestibule is tiny; however, I can fit my pack and boots. The lightweight and small compact carry size is the plus."

"This is a great backpacking tent for solo trips. It is somewhat freestanding, very light, and very spacious. Only problem is condensation if you don't or can't stake it out fully. Still I will take this out for just about all conditions except the dead of winter."

"Many pluses for this tent. Its listed weight is accurate at only 2. 5 lbs; with ground tarp, stakes and a light stuff sack, trail weight is 3. 25 lbs. It's durable and well made. If staked out well (about 12-14 are minimal), there's no condensation problem and it can withstand foul weather."
