From Campmor:
"The Mountain Hardwear Sprite 1 is an extremely light 1 person side entry tent with 1 door and 1 vestibule. The mostly mesh body keeps bugs at bay while providing great ventilation and offering stargazing opportunities. The full coverage fly protects you from the nastiest weather and provides a vestibule for storing extra gear outside the door. Set up is fast and easy with an all clip assembly. Extra room at the head of the tent for personal effects is very useful and handy. This would be an excellent solo long distance tent, perfect for the the AT or PCT.

"I bought this tent because I wanted a light, inexpensive, roomy tent with a vestibule big enough for a medium tent and boots. I got it.

I've slept out in it like 10 times, and it rocks. completely waterproof, compact, and durable. No bugs, drafts, etc."

"I bought the Mountain Hardwear Sprite 1 to replace an aging dome tent I have been hauling around on bike trips and backpacking. I have used it on a three day cycling trip, one backpacking trip and several times just camping before hikes. I'm very happy with the 1."

"Spent a week living in this tent in Denali, Healy, area of Alaska. Rained out EVERY day. Some days it poured. Stayed dry all day. Very well vented and water-tight. Very easy to set-up. Def recommend purchasing this footprint as well for added protection."
