Product Description
Backpacker Magazine praised the Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 1 Tent as being “very nearly the perfect 3-season solo tent.” While the SL1 provides enough space to sit up and fumble around in, this tent's light weight and compactability make it more like a bivy sack. The Seedhouse SL 1's low bulk makes a great tent when packing light and moving fast is critical. When it's time set up camp, clip the pole frame into the tent body for an ultra-quick pitch. This one-person shelter's walls feature tear-resistant mesh, so on warm nights, you'll love the cross ventilation—and the view of the stars.
Bottom Line: Travel light, and plant the Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 fast.
Owner Reviews
The solo tent I spend days of research to find is the SL1. A paltry 2#-14oz for 22SF of free-standing space compacts down into a big summer sausage roll about 15" long. The three-pole design shock corded together with a hub is perfect for setting up in the dark. A Brunton Glorb lantern heats it perfectly, albeit the mesh is very sensitive to heat and you need to keep heat centered. The vestibule is big enough for a pair of boots, bear spray and a small day pack. Impervious to 25 mph winds and excellent zippers. Nice tapered design would fit a 6' person nicely. Room inside for my pack and rifle. No condensation, although some frost on the top of the mesh ... it was 18 degrees outside! Mesh is so fine it sublimated before accumulating. If it's complex to set up you either have problems tying your shoes or didn't take time at home to walk through the setup in your backyard. All components are high quality. Tent's a little pricey, but some stores will sell for less. Best light solo tent I've tried ... beats MSR hands down.
