Features

  • The String Ridge VST gives you the best of both worlds: weight stats you can only get with a trekking pole shelter, combined with a stable, reliable design
  • Innovative, externally supported asymmetrical architecture makes for a spacious shelter with plenty of room to lay out your gear and get ready for the next day's adventure
  • Proprietary HyperBead™ fabric technology balances strength, durability and weight; it's optimized for those who don't want to compromise on protection and weight
  • Hybrid Single/Double Wall design with integrated ventilation design drastically reduces condensation without requiring additional setup
  • Extra 0.5 sizing provides bonus room inside the tent for a backpack or furry friend
  • Recycled, solution-dyed polyester fabric provides increased dimensional stability compared to a traditional nylon tent fabric, making it ideal for semifreestanding tents
  • Trekking pole architecture with exterior support optimizes interior space and makes for easier setup; requires 3 trekking poles (not included) for complete setup
  • ErgoZip ergonomically designed fly zippers slide easily from any position
  • YKK DynaPel™ fly zippers slide more easily and are more durable than traditional water-repellent zippers
  • The zippers keep you dry using sustainable materials and no intentionally added PFAS
  • Comfort-first floor plan fits two 25 in. wide pads
  • To extend the life of your tent floor, Big Agnes recommends using a Big Agnes footprint (not included)
  • Comes with nine 6 in. Dirt Dagger™ UL Stakes

For those fast and light adventures!

This tent is a great go-to for those fast and light adventures! Everything about it is compact and lightweight and the set up is super easy with your trekking poles rather than carrying extra weight with tent poles. We easily fit 2 people plus our dog in the tent sleeping comfortable with plenty of space!
