Ethan's Seedhouse Tent Review - It's My Choice for A Rugged Little Lightweight, One-Person Tent
Seeking a great value in a strong, comfortable backpacking tent that is fast to set up and yet strong and resilient? The Big Agnes Seedhouse 1 just could be the tent for you.
The Seedhouse 1 is a roomy tent, even for my 6'2" and 235 pound body. It has an excellent weight-to-price ratio and is effortless to set up, yet includes 11 stake-down points for rough weather.
Though just a little heaver than it's super-light cousin the SL1, this tent is a lot more durable and to me is worth the additional weight. Needless to say, if you're willing to invest a small a lot more and want a super-light model, the SL1 could be your option.
Features for both tents include:
- Super lightweight hub/pole system with plastic clips that quickly and easily attach to the tent body
- Durable waterproof-coated polyester rip stop fly ensures minimal stretch and long-life UV protection
- Woven nylon mesh walls that provide 360-degree views and excellent ventilation
- Includes a clear plastic window in the vestibule door and handy mesh floor pockets for keeping up with the small stuff
- Comes complete with tent body, poles, fly, stakes and stuff sacks
This is a fantastic tent - roomy enough even for Large Agnes. I love that I can turn over and even turn around and not have to slide in feet initial. Also, since I usually travel off the beaten path and set up on uneven terrain, a massive feature for me is the capability to conform the tent to odd shaped footprints. The T-shaped pole set-up really aids in both flexibility and comfort, as well as the stakes are light and durable.
I'd just add one factor to this great tent. Bring along a clip or something to tie back the net door - an attached
tie or holding pocket would be an excellent addition. Would you mention that to Agnes next time you run into her on the trail?
