Big Agnes tents are the company’s specialty. They manufacture many different kinds of tents by size and intended
use. There are Big Agnes tents for anywhere from one to four or more people and for every use imaginable, from
ultralight or superlight backpacking to regular backpacking and camping to mountaineering to car and base
camping.
All Big Agnes tents are completely waterproof right out of the package. Each tent has had all the necessary seams
carefully taped using solvent-free and PVC-free seam tape. With the waterproof coatings on the floor and fly of
each tent combined with the seam tape, there is no need to apply waterproofing to any Big Agnes tent. In addition,
every Big Agnes tent comes with handy guy lines that provide added stability to the pole structure whenever the
tent is pitched.
There are several ultralight backpacking Big Agnes tents designed for one or two people. These are all three
season tents with extremely light but durable poles and stakes that are made from silicone treated nylon with
polyester mesh. These materials are specifically designed to prevent ripping.
Big Agnes also has what they refer to as superlight backpacking tents for anywhere from one to three people.
These are also extremely lightweight, but tend to be slightly heavier than the ultralights. They are also three
season tents that are free standing, made from the finest materials.
Regular backpacking and camping Big Agnes tents are also excellent. Again, these are three season tents, but
there are different varieties that fit up to four people. Set up is always easy with Big Agnes tents, as each tent
comes with clear instructions that are easy to remember.
Mountaineering tents from Big Agnes are the four season tents, and they fit two to three people. Tested in
extremely harsh conditions, these tents are durable enough to withstand high winds and arctic temperatures. The
poles are made from a specific aluminum that is the very latest technology for lightweight tent poles.
Finally, the largest Big Agnes tents are those designed for car or base camping. These are three season tents
that sleep multiple people. They usually come with a briefcase style carry bag that has long shoulder straps and
pockets, so it can be carried for some distance. Even these large tents are easy to set up.
Big Agnes tents are some of the most versatile and best tents on the market today. Whether for the weekend
warrior or the hardcore trekker and backpacker, Big Agnes tents can withstand hard use and still seem like they are
brand new.
