I love this tent. I've worked in an outdoor gear shop for a couple of years and have hiked the entire AT and this is by far the best tent I've ever had. It quick and easy to set up, super light weight, made out of great material, and can be used to a huge variety of conditions. Best tent I've ever owned. Taking it on a coast to coast bike trip this coming October and November.

There's a reason you see this same
Big Agnes design year after year:
It's because this tent is damn near perfect,
and there's really nothing to improve.

Excellent visibility, durability, breathability,
in a tiny, lightweight package. Plenty of room
for two decent sized adults, or one big man
and a 39 pound Australian Shepherd who
stretches out like he owns the place.

I purchased my BA Seedhouse SL2 from HumbleOutdoors for about $305, it came with a free footprint.

At just 2lbs 10oz the new Seedhouse SL2 has sure been put on a diet. My old Seedhouse 2 was much heavier. Big Agnes went to great lenghts to make the Seedhouse 2 competitive within the Big Agnes product line. The tent packs real small, breathes well, and for the one outing I have used it, did well in the moderate winds that I experienced. I may add more field info, after I use this tent on the AT in May.

Have had the tent for a couple of hiking seasons so far and, over all, have been happy with the purchase.

It's very light and extremely easy to take up and down, and also packs down very compactly. The material is lightweight but so far seems very durable. Small, but actually big enough for two people and a dog - could be a little taller, though.

The two biggest problems are that the vestibule space is poorly designed - it's very small and zipping/unzipping the rainfly can be cumbersome. I've also noticed that it does get condensation - not sure how well it compares to other tents, but I wouldn't feel comfortable using a down bag in here during a rain storm.

On the whole, I would definitely recommend this tent and, based on its performance, other Big Agnes tents as well.
