Light, roomy for two

The first thing that strikes the user about this tent ..." Read Full Review »

"After already going through 3 tents, the 4th one seems to be our last one. We bought this test last year and the mesh Big Agnes was using was horrible.

"I bought this tent for a large tent and vestibule area without an increase in weight from my other 2 person tent. The first time I set it up I was not disappointed. There is a lot of floor space and very good head room. The optional fly extension adds a lot of room for storage. When the storm cl …" Read Full Review »
