Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 Super Light Tent: 1-Person 3-Season
Poorly designed tent

The tent is called free standing but BA decided to save a few ounces and not put a hub system on the foot end so it has to be staked to have any foot room. The door is too short. I am 6 ft. tall and I could not crawl through the door without catching on it. Speaking of the door. I will never buy another tent that is not side entry. It makes no sense to have to do a 180 to get your feet at the door. Plus, once you get your boots on, it is very awkward to get out the door from a seated position. This tent has no vestibule space large enough for a pack. The largest vestibule is the doorway which will block the door you if you fill it. There is only one tiny little pocket on the inside above the door and there is no inside loop for hanging things like a light. I will sacrifice a few ounces of weight and stick with my good ole Eureka Spitfire.
