I would like to know all the neagatives with the sprite 1 tent. All tents have some. I am only 5'2" and looking for a light weight tent without comprimising too much. I know that you shouldn't cook in your tent but lets face we all have to sometimes. Can you cook safely in the Sprite 1.

I've had this tent for a little over a year, However I've only spent about 15 nights in it during summer in the Rocky Mountains.The cons I can think of:-Lots of pegging is involved for setup and the tent isn't free standing, having to relocate can be a real pain. -I'm 6' and have large feet, if my body slides 'feet first' my feet hit the top of the tent (shouldn't be a problem if your shorter / have smaller feet)-In my experience, very heavy rain will cause bad condensation on the inside of the fly.As for cooking inside the tent; I have never attempted. Personally I would never attempt this I can't imagine sitting cross legged and bent over at the same time. I can't comment very well seeing as this thought has never crossed my mind before.
