Big Agnes Seedhouse SL3 Super Light Tent: 3-Person 3-Season

May 18, 2009

I contacted Big Agnes and asked them a similar question, about switching the included poles with carbon fiber poles. Here is Chris Tamucci's answer:

Thanks for the email Russ. The poles only account for some of the difference in weight. A lot of weight savings between the tents is in the fabrics and hardware used on the tent. I suspect that a Seedhouse SL3 will be lighter than a standard Seedhouse 3 with carbon poles. The carbon poles for a Seedhouse 3 cost over $200 and from what we’ve seen shave about 7-9oz. There is a 19oz difference between the two stock tents.

Just something for you to consider. You’ll get a lighter tent for less money by purchasing a stock Seedhouse SL3.

Great sleeping bag

Lafuma Warm 'n Light 1000 Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Down

Lafuma Warm 'n Light 1000 Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 5 August 25, 2008

Tested this sleeping bag out in the Alaska Basin area of the Tetons. Woke up with ice in the water bottles but these sleeping bags (I bought two of them) kept us plenty warm.

As far as feathers coming out--I didn't notice this any more than with comparable down bags. The feathers are so fine that some will come out no matter what--anyway, that's my opinion.

The only problem I had with these bags is that they don't zip together. This bag, unlike many other down bags, comes in both a right and left zipper configuration; however, the zippers are not configured so that they will zip together--at least not on my two bags. This is a minor issue, and not an issue at all for most, but since I bought the bags specifically for this feature, the fact that they won't zip together is a drawback.
