I have the Agnes SL2 tent. I have used it two times backpacking. Last used on October 1 in Yosemite for a 12 mile hike. My husband and I are not small creatures. We took a cheap ($50) Coleman tent for car camping in the redwoods. The Agnes is small enough that I would not use if I didn't need to save weight. I have used the SL2 on two week long tours in Arizonia (GABA) and Florida (Bike Florida). The SL2 is great for one person. Room for all my stuff. One thing, when two people are in the SL2, you may end up sleeping against the netting. I had mosquito bites from a local 15 mile hike in Michigan. I did not have any problem with heat in the desert or in Florida with the rain cover. It was surprisingly cool. I use Tyvek as my ground cover. I also sewed the ends of the pole loops together so I could put up the rain cover, and then put up the netting underneath, so my stuff would not get wet. It is a freestanding tent. I have also sewed the tent bag to the end of the tent so I don't have to go looking for it. BTW, I also sewed a tyvek cord to my thermarest, and sewed the sleeping bag compression bag to the end of the sleeping bag. I hate having to look for all the tie ups when I am tearing down camp. If you put the backpacks in the vestubile, you have to unzip the netting, unzip the vestibule and move the backpacks, or whatever bike gear (panniers) to go the the bathroom at night. I bought the Agnes for my solo C2C trip I am planning. If I had ever thought my husband would backpack, I would have bought a 3 person for the two of us. I bought the 3/4 light thermarest and did not like it. I returned it and bought the regular length in the lightweight, it was worth 6 ounces to not have my feet lower than my upper body. The extra warm clothes I carried to cycle or hike, I used as a pillow or wore them to sleep.
