Watertight, and Versatile Rain Fly
2 years ago
This tent has been fantastic I have used it about 8 times now. This tent stayed perfectly dry in nonstop Florida downpour that went almost all weekend. Not a drop inside the tent other than what we tracked in. Every other person camping that weekend got really wet and were miserable. Not me. Although I don’t own the newer Bunkhouse, it looks like almost the same model but a little older so cheaper. It’s the best tent I’ve ever had. I am just at 6 foot and you can pretty much stand straight up in there. For me and my two kids the 4 man is a palace. And the fly can be set up in porch mode with a couple tarp poles or even trekking poles.

I love this tent. I camp around 100 nights per year for work and this has made everything so much nicer! I'm 5'7 and can stand up fully to get dressed, I love having the vestibule to put my chair under during rain, and it's really easy to put up. I work in New Mexico and even on windy days (60+ mph) it has never faltered, but I always use all 19 stakes just to be sure. It just barely fits an extra large cot, too. The only slightly negative thing I've noticed is that the long poles do become permanently bent fairly quickly (after a couple months of regular use). I've been using this tent for about a year now and 100% recommend it!

GREAT Tent But
6 years ago
After detailed research we chose this tent for car camping. Love the vestibules, and the versatility of options in setting up, e.g. the front awning, mesh vents, ease of set-up, etc. etc. Seriously considered and compared with the REI Kingdom Dome but in the end decided the lesser weight and set-up options for the Big Agnes were an advantage. We set the Big Agnes up for the first yesterday in advance of a camping trip to Southern Utah next week. Out of the package... one of the buckles was broken. Called REI to find out if we could get a replacement ASAP prior to our departure next week. Alas... the tent is no longer in stock. Back to the drawing board...

Great, but needs better instructions
6 years ago
I am on my 1st several day outing with this tent. After obtaining retractable poles for the awning it seems complete. It had held up well in decent wind. I also replaced the original stakes with tougher ones. Hammering the originals in hardpacked dirt can too easily bend them. The roominess and being able to stand is the best improvement over my other tents. Because the small ground up rocks common for tent pads are sharp I put old rugs on the floor to protect the bottom from the rocks. In other tents you cannot stand up so walking around in them is not an issue. This tent is like having a small room. It hold a cot, a good sized table, a chair and still has room. There are likely a lot of features yet to be figured out. Lack of instructions was annoying.

Great tent, but needs better set up instructions
6 years ago
This tent was purchased Oct 2018 from REI. I have decades of experience setting up many different kinds of tents. The Big Agnes looked to be straightforward. The "instructions" simply said it was "easy to set up." While it was not too difficult to figure out, someone setting this up as their first tent needs more help than that. What is key to setting up the tent is that the snaps for the tent fly are all yellowish in color, except two grey ones. I only found this out by trial and error. This is not on the "instructions" and slowed me down considerably trying to figure out how it worked. The grey ones have to match up with the grey ones on the tent floor. Then it all works fine. You will need an extendable set of poles to make the awning work. I had some, but had to hose-clamp pegs into the poles as the stock pegs on the poles would not fit into the Big Agnes holes. Given that the new pegs were of a smaller diameter, I was concerned about what they would do to the awning if the cords securing the awning popped off and the sharpish peg was thrashing at the awning. There are ways to deal with this in a preventive way, but I'll not bog this post down further with that. The photos the company provides shows hiking poles used to hold up the awning. Perhaps that will work, but I like to keep my poles available to use hiking during the day, not having to use them to put the awning up and down over and over each day. In any case, the short length of screw threats sticking out of the hiking poles seems inadequate to hold the awning up in any kind of wind. In spite of these quibbles, the tent seems well made and when you see how it is supposed to go up it is not hard to remember. I would have rated it a five with better instructions and a bigger hole for the pegs that have to be used to prop up the awning.

It leaks
1 year ago
It leaks, rightbout of the box. While there's a lot to love about the tent, I can't give it a passing score because it fails to do its most fundamental job, keeping out the rain. Staked down, clipped-in, and completely guyed out, the center of the rainfly leaks every time it rains. The top center sections of the fly are simply too flat to shed water in anything but the lightest rain.
