Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL Ultralight Tent with UV-Resistant Solution Dyed Fabric

Product Information

Big Agnes' Fly Creek HV UL1 Solution Dye Tent has had a serious overhaul. A key feature being rolled out across a number of Big Agnes tents is the use of solution dyed fabrics. This is a great move for a number of reasons, firstly the positive environmental impacts which see a significant reduction in both energy and water consumption during manufacture. Secondly, this process means the tents are much more resistant to colour fade from UV. On a practical level, the tent benefits from a slight change in the pole design which now provides steeper walls, more headroom and a wider door opening which all make this version feel much more spacious and more usable. Tent body: breathable proprietary ultralight double ripstop mixed denier nylon, with solution-dyed ripstop grid and polyester mesh

This one person tent features a cleverly-designed, hub-connected, all-in-one skeletal pole, which forms the main structure. A smaller transverse pole then slots across the apex of this structure stretching out the peak to maximise headroom. The inner, which is pitched first, clips tightly to this skeletal pole – and the result is a shelter with near-vertical walls and maximum head and elbow room. A decent-sized side porch and minimally-tapered floor add to the sense of spaciousness. Solution-dyed fabric is highly resistant to UV fade and drastically reduces energy consumption and water use during manufacturing, a process that is better for the environment and improves the quality of the tent fabric Increased airflow and reduced condensation through fly vent with low vent feature on the vestibule doors for more airflow while still providing vestibule coverage Fly material: fly (15d) and floor (20d) are silicone-treated ripstop nylon with 1200 mm waterproof polyurethane coatingThe Copper Spur has received some welcome updates with new environmentally friendly fabrics, shorter pole sections, more user friendly set up features along with a range of smaller tweaks and upgrades. A great tent made better!

The Tiger Wall UL 3 is a double-wall semi-freestanding tent with an inner mesh tent that is suspended from a three-pronged overhead dome-shaped pole-structure. While the corners of the foot end still need to be staked out for maximum livability, setting up a tent like this is very easy since it won’t fall over before you can get your tent stakes in. The rainfly simply drapes over the dome-shaped pole structure, so air can circulate between the inner and outer tent. The only downside is that the interior can get wet if it’s raining when you erect the inner tent, but carrying a small trail towel is sufficient to mop up any rain that gets through. The inner tent is suspended from a dome shape pole structure Brand new for 2021, the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL1 has been redesigned using a solution-dyed fabric that is highly resistant to UV fade and drastically reduces energy consumption and water use during manufacturing, a process that is better for the environment and that “improves the quality of the tent fabric”, according to the brand. Increased usable interior space without increasing weight using single-pole DAC Angle SF Hub, plus more usable volume added to the vestibule with vertical door construction Most manufacturers recommend the use of a footprint to extend the life of the groundsheet of your tent, but if you've just bought an ultralight tent do you really want to carry the extra weight associated with it? And if you always need a footprint then why don't the manufacturers just beef up the floor fabric? Ready to pitch with pre-cut guy lines and tensioners attached to fly, and extra stability with velcro tabs that connect fly to pole structureNEW expanded headroom and larger front entry with updated high-volume architecture and steeper walls Big Agnes is the first to introduce solution-dyed tent body and fly fabrics to the equipment category. The result is better for the environment and the high UV resistance of the solution-dyed fabrics improves the quality of our tents. Improving already great tents isn’t easy, choosing to lessen the environmental impact while doing so is. Includes NEW lighter, yet stronger Dirt Dagger UL Tent Stakes with patent pending I-Beam aluminium construction To extend the life of your tent floor we recommend using a Big Agnes footprint, sold separately The floor is made with 20 denier fabric and given how light the fabric is, I’d recommend using the tent with a footprint. Big Agnes sells a Tiger Wall UL3 footprint, but I use a much less expensive piece of Tyvek. SectionHiker also recommends window insulation wrap for this purpose, which is even lighter weight but less durable. The guy-lines are fixed length which makes can make it hard to find a suitable stake out point Stash oversized gear in 3D shelf, utilizing dead space above your feet or securely store helmet on top of tent body with elastic webbing and use daisy-chain webbing loops on the fly exterior to dry wet clothes and gear
