Mountain Hardwear Sprite 1 Tent 1-Person 3-Season

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.

Bottom Line: The Mountain Hardwear Sprite Tent is your home away from home when you're in the backcountry.

Overall Sprite 1 is very nice super light solo tent one could stretch into a fall by employing decent 20-0 degree F sleeping bag. The J-space is able to accommodate Badlands75 backpack. Just enough place for my hiking boots at the opposite end. The tent is wide enough to fit extra 6-7” duffle bag alongside of the sleeping pad. The construction is such that one could first pitch the fly even without the footprint - it snaps to the poles. Very nice feature! Than while out of the whether hang the main tent body or sleep without it. Even though the leg-side poll could have benefited from adding 3-5” in radius it is still quite a superior alternative to even Gore-Tex bivy. Overall Sprite-1 offers a great protection from the rain and morning dew without sacrificing of air ventilation. Some cautions although I would not consider them to be serious drawbacks. • Sprite-1 is not self standing but it only requires to stakes for initial pitch and once the fly and the tent clipped to the polls entire contraption could be moved with ease. • I would not recommend getting it if you were over 6'2” the lover end loop could have been 3-5” more in the radius. With the size 10.5 shoes I was just barely comfortable. Enjoy!

I love mine, it's quite a bit different than this particular one (casa 6) but it is very high quality construction and very good design.
