Stay nimble on the trail whether you're hiking for one day or two weeks with the Seedhouse SL1 superlight one-person tent. The three-season tent is equipped with an intuitive hub/pole design that sets up in a flash.



The Seedhouse SL1 includes an ultra-lightweight fly that doubles as a standalone shelter. Simply connect the lightweight aluminum poles to the hub, and then attach the tent body to the pole frame using the plastic clips. In just a few quick minutes, you'll be cooking dinner or lounging by the river. The durable poles are made using a process that recycles wastewater while doing away with two toxic chemicals traditionally used in pole manufacturing. The Seedhouse SL1's tent body, meanwhile, is made of a lightweight nylon and polyester mesh that packs extremely light. When you're camping on a fair weather evening, the mesh body makes a well-ventilated bug-free haven. Should the weather turn foul, however, you can put on the lightweight silicone-treated nylon ripstop fly, which is coated with 1,200mm waterproof polyurethane.

Space-wise, the Seedhouse SL1 offers 22 square feet of living area, enough room for one camper and gear. The tent sports another 5 square feet under its front vestibule, which includes a storm flap over the zipper for added weather protection. You even have a place to store your iPod, cell phone, wallet, or other items thanks to the mesh pocket located above the D-shaped door. Other features include a lightweight silicone-treated nylon ripstop floor with a waterproof polyurethane coating; a generous center height of 3 feet 2 inches (far taller than most bivy tents); a reflective guyline and reflective webbing on the tent corners for nighttime visibility; and 11 superlight aluminum J stakes.

The tent is compatible with such additional accessories as a specially designed Seedhouse SL1 footprint and a Triangle gear loft. Both accessories are sold separately.

About Big Agnes
Big Agnes is either a rocky peak in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness Area outside of Colorado's Steamboat Springs, a laid-back mountain-town mama, or dependable backcountry gear, depending on whom you ask. The Big Agnes founders think it represents a little bit of each and everything in between. The folks at Big Agnes have spent a lot of time in the Colorado backcountry, giving them a deep appreciation of local history, places, peaks, and rivers.
