Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 1
Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 1
I'm thinking of using my REI dividend to buy the one-person SL Seedhouse made by Big Agnes. I've been using a bivy most of the time, but I think I'd like a lightweight tent for when I'm out for more that 3-days. I have an Integral Designs MK1 Lite and love it, but it weights a little over a pound more than the Seedhouse and I'd like to save the ID tent for winter camping when I need a stronger tent.
Does anyone have the Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 1 and what do you think of it????

Kathy, I was looking and considering that tent last year...and still am interested in it. I was also looking at the Eureka Spitfire one..have you seen that one?
I have been using the best one person tent for years..but I do not have a rain fly for it...so have been thinking about getting a new one.
That seedhouse does look very nice and roomy enough & also to sit up in which is very important to me...They have it at campmor for 179.00 I just saw..you may be able to get it less and with free shipping too

My wife and bought the Seedhouse 2 last year and love it. It is super light, and I really like leaving the fly off and sleeping under the stars without the bugs, under the mesh. The only drawback came when we got out black lab last year, it is way to tight for the 3 of us. Of course the dog had to sleep on my side for 3 nights.
The rainfly is bulletproof. Got caught in some afternoon thunderstorms and threw up the freestanding fly and drank coffee for a couple hours. It was nice, kept me and my gear dry.
I would say it was well worth the money.
Hope it works out,

madeintahoe - this year's model is supposed to be lighter than last years, so I'm wondering if Campmor has the older model on sale.
jdub - thanks for you input - I think I'm going to go ahead and buy it with the help of my REI Dividend when that comes out. Usually they do a 20% off sale about the same time the dividend comes out, so that will help too.
