    I got one, it's amazing! The only solo tent for 6' plus hikers...yee haw!!! I love my Roadster...but this will be the tent I carry from now on. The room is luxurious...and it is less than four pounds. I know that's a lot for some...but perfect for me!!! Three cheers for Big Agnes!!!

      Comments about Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL 1 Tent:

      Ok, after spending some trail time with the tent I am very pleased with the roominess and how easy it is to set up and take down. This is my first experience with light weight gear and I'm finding this tent is no where near as bombproof as my old Half Dome. After about 30 nights it's got several patches and even a re-stitch job. I don't consider myself particularly hard on gear (don't have the money to replace it that often) but because the fly and mesh are so light, the tent has some bumps and bruises. These ARE NOT related to the construction. Bottom line is if this is your first foray into a lighter tent...be careful...it just isn't as tough as you may be used to. I'll still buy BA though because I'm 6'2" and they make gear that fits.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL 1 Tent:

          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 in 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 more ounces this tent weighs more than makes up for the overall comfort you will experience!
