Big Agnes - Tiger Wall 2 Carbon

I’ve had my Big Agnes Tiger Wall 2 for 7 years now but that’s more geared towards backpacking but it’s been pulling double duty for me. MSR is a brand worth taking a look at. If you have access and to a REI then their half dome tent is worth taking a look at too.

2p tend (Big Agnes Tigerwall) and 2p sleeping bag (Big Agnes Cabin Creek). Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a lightweight down 2p sleeping bag, but we just sleep much better together

Durston XMid 2p? Sounds like you're really looking for just a bathtub floor and full mesh sides. Per the website the XMid is 31 oz with inner and fly. Though if you just want to wake up and see the views, then you probably don't need the fly. But if you're worried about leaks, then it sounds like you want the fly for when it rains. Either way, the XMid might be a good option. I personally have a Tiger Wall 2p that I was going to recommend, but after comparing how high the sides are before the mesh to the Copper Spur, I figured that they were close enough that you would probably rule that one out anyway.

We were always n our own tent, while mom and dad got the camper on the back of the pickup truck. We never thought anything of it until it snowed one October - heavy - and the tent collapsed on us. Terrifying, and parents could hear us screaming because of the deadening properties of the snow. It’s a miracle. I still go camping. I love that one person tent shown in the OP. I have a big Agnes one person Tiger wall that I bought used for about 200 bucks. There’s another 1+ that I want desperately, but it’s sold out.

Tiger wall. It’s lighter than the copper spur.

Hmm not sure what you mean. There’s the platinum that would maybe be slightly more see through but not by much. But that one has less mesh than the regular yellow one. I have the regular version, used it for a thru hike of the at and most of the Arizona trail. Great tent, no complaints, have also used BA tents a ton.

Yeah that’s something I like a lot about big Agnes tents. No rainfly=bug free cowboy camping. I used the fly creek for two pct thru hikes, tiger wall for the azt and at.

Big Agnes, MSR, and Nemo are 3 of the best tent brands available. I ran the warranty desk for an outdoor gear company, and saw the least amount of warranty issues with those brands. They’re not inexpensive, but, you get what you pay for. I have a Big Agnes tent that’s at least 10 years old, we use it regularly and only have to hose the dirt off. It’s amazing. Nemo is awesome too, I know a lot of people with Nemo tents and they love them. I just got an MSR 3 person tent and absolutely love it. Definitely get a 2 person tent. The general rule is to take however many people will be sleeping in the tent, and add 1. So 1 person = 2 person tent, 2 ppl = 3 person tent and so on. A 2 person tent is more comfortable for having your gear inside the tent, changing your clothes, etc. If you don’t plan to go backpacking with it, I’d get a 3-4 person tent just for the space.

Big Agnes Tiger Wall. Get the 3 person if either of you are over 5’7”. My husband and I are both 5’7”-ish and barely fit inside the Tiger Wall 2. I love it though, it has 2 doors, is easy enough to set up and pretty comfortable for an ultralight backpacking tent. I do NOT recommend the Fly Creek, at all. I had one for a good section of my thru hike and it was so uncomfortable to climb in and out of. I hate that overall design.

We have the Tiger Wall and while it FEELS really delicate, we haven't had any issues so far. My only complaints is that it's a bit fussy to get the fly taut and you have to be very careful not to zip the fabric of the fly into the zipper when you're opening or closing the vestibule. Despite having done it MANY TIMES now I have yet to rip the material.

I just bought both of these. Steep and cheap had the tiger wall on sale for $160 so it seemed like a great back up to have

My go to two person tent is a three person. I highly recommend Big Agnes tigerwall or copper spur. Kinda pricy but sometimes they go on sale.

I actually have both and have used them with my two kids (slightly older Copper Spur 3). Two kids, 13 and 16, and me on 20 inch wide pads. They both worked fine (used the Copper Spur when they were younger). The newer Tiger Wall felt a bit more spacious.
