Comments about Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 Tent - Special Buy:
Purchased one for my son and one for myself for our monthly camping trips with our Boy Scout Troop. Very easy to put up and the tent is very comfortable to sleep in. I cannot find the footprint for this tent - the only one available is for the Seedhouse 2 SL model and it does not fit this tent.

Comments about Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 Tent - Special Buy:
I bought a version of this from 2008, and love it. Unlike the other reviewer, I am quite happy with the quality of this 08 version. Its solid, easy to set up, and even without stakes can take wind and rain. Its roomy compared to other backpack tents, but I agree with other reviews on it being tight for two people. You better like each other! Its also heavier (5lb) than the SL version, but I think that also makes this sturdier. Excellent job, Big Agnes!

Comments about Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 Tent - Special Buy:
This tent is great...It's light, sets up quick, packs easy, and fits 2 people comfortably. The vestibule is a bit small for 2 large packs, but 2 can fit, it just makes for a slower entrance/exit time. My son and I tested this tent out on an overnighter in RMNP and it rained all night. Not 1 leak, we stayed warm and dry. All of our gear in the vestibule stayed dry as well. I highly recommend this tent, especially at these clearance prices. By far the best bang for the buck!

Comments about Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 Tent - Special Buy:
Thought I bought a great easy to setup tent. Used it for 2 days backpacking and it developed a stress tear in the fabric right at the peak. Also found that screen material developed small matted areas. I conclude it is not very good quality. Contacted Big Agnes and they wanted me to pay to return it and wait weeks for an evaluation. I returned it to REI. I would not buy a Big Agnes again.

Comments about Big Agnes Seedhouse 2 Tent - Special Buy:
First it was very,very easy to set up. The fly was super easy to go on unlike when i tried to set up others, like the REI Half Dome 2 Plus Tent. It has the ties set up on the fly. Nice. The whole package in the bag is pretty small and light.
But I would not consider this a two person tent. The sides of the tent slant up to a peak so you have to sit in the middle and not touch the sides. If you are over 6' it will be tight
