From Backcountry.com:
"Take your Mountain Hardwear Sprite one-person, three-season tent with you into the backcountry on your next solo trip. With its fly, the watertight Sprite will protect you in a storm and has five square feet of vestibule room plenty of space for your pack and hiking boots. The J shape of this tent gives you room inside as well, so you can stash your water bottle nearby or get off your outer layers without feeling cramped. Storage pockets hold your headlamp and eyeglasses. Get plenty of air circulation through mesh-covered windows and door when the weather is pleasant. A plastic window in the rain fly lets light in and allows you to see out when you have to batten down the hatches against wind and rain."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Designed for the solo backpacker or cyclist, the Sprite packs small and doesnt weigh down a pack. Front vestibule shelters gear and the efficient floor plan allows enough room for one person and essentials. Lightweight Atlas 7001 poles stand strong in stormy weather. Guaranteed watertight construction. Superlight option: pitch with fly only plus and Pitch Light footprint to shave pounds. Footprint sold separately."

From REI:
"The Spite 1 tent offers a unique footrprint—it features a little nook to keep nighttime essentials close at hand plus a roomy vestibule. Two-pole, non-freestanding design saves weight; tent's pole structure is incorporated into vestibule for aerodynamic performance. Features a large door and a mesh canopy walls for excellent ventilation and views during warm nights. Dry-entry vestibule design prevents water from dripping inside tent when vestibule is open, improving livability. 7001 aluminum poles use Atlas pole connectors for corrosion- and dent-resistance, plus they're completely field serviceable. Pole clips save weight, make setup a cinch and allow superior ventilation between rainfly and tent. Other technical features include reflective guy-out loops, reflective zipper pulls, welded guy clip anchors and Super-light™ buckles and webbing. Pitch Light Option: For an ultralight shelter, pitch the rainfly, poles and footprint (sold separately) without the tent body. Comes with stuff sacks, stakes and owner's manual. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

Sprite 1
Reviewed by Evan Brodfuehrer, Aug 05, 2008

"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."
