Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL2 Super Light Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

Item #BAG0060 | 4 in Stock
4 Star Rating

hmm

By Ranked #410 - 3-Season Tents October 6, 2008

before this tent i tried out the seedhouse (not SL), which i bought cheap off SandC. i loved it; well made, just big enough length-wise, and super simple to put up. but it just didn't have enough vestibule room for two people's packs, so i returned it and bought this instead. it's the same quality, the weight is nice and the fit is good, but because of the cross over pole design it has an annoyingly large footprint. i took it backpacking in the Wa.'s north cascades and it was hard to squeeze it in to the locations we were camping at. i'll be holding onto it, cause it is a perfect car camping tent, but for backpacking, i'm looking for something else.
