Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL1 Super Light Tent: 1-person 3-Season
The Roominess Is Most Impressive
By moroni
Ranked #34 - Tents
July 1, 2009
I've been sleeping in "coffin" tents for quite some time where my arms would hit the side walls every time I'd turn during the night. The feature I like best about the BA EM SL1 is the interior roominess. At 6'3" I not only have plenty of head & foot room but also an extra 22" of upper body room due to the way the floor is tapered. Sitting up straight & not touching my head on the ceiling is nothing short of glorious. This creates a wonderful environment while waiting out storms. The more than generous vestibule accommodates my backpack, boots, dog, etc. Very substantial pole/hub system. Change out the aluminum stakes for lighter weight titanium. The few extra ounces this tent weighs more than makes up for the overall comfort you will experience!
