Our Verdict
We stock Big Agnes Seedhouse Superlight Series because they offer that bit more floor space and headroom to other tents in this weight category - compare to others and you'll generally find them to be at least a few centimetres bigger at each dimension.
Add to that the flexibility of the much lighter 'fastfly' setup (uses the optional footprint instead of the inner) and the whole becomes a very flexible shelter arrangement.
The vestibule on the SL1 extends around two feet in front of the inner - there again offering a generous sized space for a tent in this class.
We think the supplied pegs are a bit heavy - 12g each - and as there are 13 of them the total weight could be reduced by around 80g by carrying a lighter alternative.
