Great tent with some good and some odd upgrades
4 months ago
This continues to be a great tent. I highly recommend it as a new purchase. As an upgrade for old version users, it depends on whether new materials holds up to promise (to be determined). In my review, I am comparing the old and the new version of this tent. The better: Tent structure: unchanged; continues to be a great design. Setting it up is very easy. Cross pole clip: Easier to use. Color: much better; appears darker than on photos; white made you stick out too much in nature; the darker color fly may help with condensation burning off better. Material: Feels good and sturdy; if it is stronger and really sags less, than it will be a great improvement. The less good: Weight: BA makes it sound like lighter but it weighs slightly more (see picture with actual weights). Additional weight comes from pack sacks (odd place to add weight). Pack sack(s): The new may be good for bike packing; for backpacking, I don’t think it is a good design. Putting the tent into the sack is easier, but if the tent is packed wet, it shields wetness less from the rest if you carry it inside the backpack. Putting dirty stakes in the same sack as the fly (it has an integrated pouch now) is a poor design as dirt is bound to make its way onto the tent material. The pouch itself only accommodates mini stakes. Stakes: Unchanged; I don’t like BA stakes; had some bends and brake. Ground cover: Still an extra that adds more than 15% to price of tent. The old one works with the new tent though.

Great right out of the bag
2 months ago
Right out go the box, I love this tent. It is amazing how lightweight it is, and super easy to set up I have not been able to test in on the trail yet or in weather so that review will be here in a few weeks. I crawled inside and it was very roomy and zI love all the mesh for those warm dry nights without the fly. The only thing I can say is that for the cost the foot print should have been added. I have one that should work just fine so we will see.

Cant really go wrong with this one

Love this tent been using for 2 seasons now. Easy setup and lots of room for one person in the UL2. Im a big dude (6'3 and 240lbs) and dont think a 2nd person would fit unless emergency as it would be very tight. Crazy light which is amazing. easy set up. Hard to knock this tent, but if I was forced to say something it would be that its a bit fragile. I always use a footprint so not a huge deal. Im just extra careful packing it up because I can see it getting snagged on something and tearing.

Cumbersome Entry
2 weeks ago
I wanted to love this tent. There was so much that I did like. It’s spacious. Tall enough to sit up in (I’m 5’-9”. I got it so I would have room for clothes, some gear, etc. I had tried the UL1 and my feet touched the bottom and I wanted a little more room. I am returning this tent as the entry to the tent is cumbersome and not well designed. The fly isn’t centered, but instead is slightly offset towards the “hinge” side of the tent doors, opposite of where the door zippers are and where you’d be trying to climb in without necessarily opening the door panel all the way. Even with this half of the fly staked, unless you roll the door panel up and pin it, you can’t easily climb in without the fly panel getting in your way, getting caught on your clothes, or if wet, sticking to you all-together and allowing water in. The description says abundant vestibule storage but there is little room for gear if you plan to use both sides to get in and out. The toggles where you can attach a rolled door panel are set low on the corners of the tent, come undone easily, and at the top it is taught and lower than the door opening, constricting some of the space of the door. I’m not a particularly larger-bodied individual, and I’m fairly coordinated. Thinking this was a ‘me’ issue, I had a friend who is 5’-0” and a solid Big Agnes fan (who was convinced it was user-error…a ‘me’ problem) take a look. I set it up in her living room…Dry, no wind or condensation. She tried entering and exiting and it was clunky. Her final thought was that it was a poorly designed entry. In every other way, this was the tent I was hoping for. I live in New England where we get a fair amount of rain and being able to get in and out quickly is important. One other thing to note was the amount of condensation that formed between the tent and the fly. It was enough that water dripped into the tent. This particular day, it was very warm and humid and the temperature dropped nearly 20° as the evening progressed. I believe this would have happened with almost any tent though it confirmed further that something about the entryway was off. I couldn’t shake the water free before getting out without soaking my belongings in the tent so as I climbed out, I again had a fly door sticking to me because it was just…in the way.
