Bathtub too short
4 months ago
I love all of my Big Agnes tents (I have three). This one has only one problem, which I can tell. I live in the Smokies and am out in the rain a lot. The bathtub floor isn't high enough. If you don't have the tent fly staked super close in the rain, the water will hit the ground and bounce up into the tent and through the mesh, getting your gear inside wet, along with the mesh wall. The bathtub needs to be a couple of inches higher, or the fly an inch longer.

Almost perfect

I’ve taken this tent on multiple camping trips including different varieties of weather and terrain. It’s very durable for how thin it feels and it’s also very light and quick to set up. It can withstand high wind speeds as witnessed at ocean cove with 15-20mhp wind speeds.The only thing missing from making it perfect would be if it included its own footprint.

Tent is very light
1 month ago
Great light tent as stated, easy to set up, fit my exped wide long sleep pad, my 45 liter backpack and room to move a bit. I agree that low bathtub sides could be a bit problematic in heavy downpour but staking fly closer to tent would greatly help. Pockets are helpful. I’m 5’10 and not of tiny build.
