Big Agnes - Scout Plus UL2

My last tent was a BigAgnus scout UL. A pretty skinny hiking pole tent that I used mostly for myself (6'5" 170lbs) but in a few nasty storms one trip I had to double up with a hiking partner (another 6'+ guy) and it was snug but fit. I'd say a 2 person tent fits two people, snuggly which if that's ok with whoever you're camping with then great. 3 person tents start to get pretty heavy for hiking multi day hikes. imho.

Big Agnus UL2 is a nice tent. Easy to set up. Not as light as some but very sturdy and roomy.

I have the UL2 and it’s a great tent. It looks like the design of both is very similar, but the tiger wall is slightly lighter. WRT durability the fabric is quite thin so I always carry a footprint, but no durability issues with about 2 weeks total use time. All that being said if you have multiple little ones both of these tents are probably going to be quite cramped for you. Even if you only have one I regret going with the two person over the three when I take my girlfriend camping with me.

Right now REI is clearing out excellent Big Agnes 2P tents. They’re the best for the price. Light, tough, freestanding. Easy setup. No gimmicks.

I have a 1p REI tent and a 2p Big Agnes. I use the smaller one in colder conditions because it takes less space in my pack, which makes more room for extra insulation. When it’s warmer, I don’t need all the extra warmth at night so I can bring the bigger tent. My typical camping trip is 1-2 nights, and I try to keep my pack weight low, but I will always pack the bigger tent when I can.
