"Big Agnes warranty and customer service help is top-notch. ... I sent them an email earlier this week and they responded within minutes with a fix that allowed me not to send the tent in and repair it myself."
"Both have great customer service imo."

"My only comment on Big Agnes in my experience is that the tents are fragile because they are so ultralight. ... I’ve had my Copper Spur poles snap twice. ... it’s not great when you’re in the back country and you’ve got to hold everything together with duck tape just to make it through the rest of the trip."
"Personally snapped a three season tent on rainier from the wind a few seasons ago. Granted it was a big Agnes tiger wall."

"Ultralight materials are very light, yes, but they are very delicate and tear and/or get holes easily. Ask me how I know..."
Go with the lighter of the two. I have a 1p Tiger Wall UL and it’s been my go to for the last 5 years for 90% of my trips thought the season where I am sleeping solo m. Love this tent. I’m 5,10 and I often wish it were longer. My pad hits the bottom of the tent when I’m all set up and my legs touch the bottom when I straighten them out. I can see why you’d be looking at the 2P. Added the Copper Spur 2p to my tents last year. It has a few other features. Great for trips where I need to share a tent and can split carrying it between two people. I’d go with the lightest version of the Tiger Wall you can afford.
r/Ultralight • Looking for a PCT tent, any major differences between these two? ->I own a Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL 1. I love this tent. It is under 1kg. To pitch rainfly first, you need the groundsheet (additional 100g). It is super roomy and has nice organisational features inside. You can even cook inside the rainfly if the weather is bad.
r/Ultralight • One person tent recommendations in Europe ->Big Agnes _**Copper Spur HV UL2**_ Hands down best bang for your buck. Comfy when solo with gear inside, or with a future partner - be it canine or human - you both have a dedicated entrance vestibule (that props up like a tarp shade as well). --- Already own another 2p tent and truly talking solo spend to shed weight? **Tiger Wall UL1** That 2p Kelty is practically 5lbs, seriously get a 1-2lb tent. Curious what model your other existing 1p was; it a front crawl entrance type, not tall all the way to feet, at 3lbs? A new TW UL2 might be your jam.
r/backpacking • Tent recommendations ->I also got that Tiger Wall sale. It’s gonna be my “friend wants to try backpacking” tent.
r/CampingandHiking • How much should you pay for a high quality one-person tent? ->The xmid is easy to set up. I just got a tiger wall UL1 and it takes me longer to put up than the xmid. If you want a two person shelter that’s lighter you can check out the Gossamer Gear The Two. You lose floor space and double walls though. That’s kinda the tradeoff you’ll find most often.
r/Ultralight • 2 person tent recommendations ->Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL1 or UL2, or Copper Spur UL1 or Copper Spur UL2.
r/backpacking • Backpacking tent for a tall person ->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.
r/camping • Your child is getting bigger, and wants their own tent. What kind do you get them, and how old are they when you first let them use it? ->Yeah, I figured. I have a Big Agnes tent that I got for a great deal. It's only a one man tent, and I wish I would have opted for the two man tent so I have more room for my gear. I think you're right, just a gimmick. Happy trails my friend.
r/camping • Has anyone here tried this "three sec" tent? Thoughts? ->I actually have a very nice Big Agnes one man tent. I was more interested in this pop-up tent for like 2 day picnic trips with my family every blue moon when the weather is fair. I usually camp alone, but I was recently welcomed into a beautiful family. Would be nice to just pop out that fuggin' thing.. like a lame-a** magic trick.
r/camping • Has anyone here tried this "three sec" tent? Thoughts? ->Another vote for BA, but the 1p
r/PacificCrestTrail • Ultralight Tent for Thru Hiking ->I almost bought this one but went with the UL Tigerwall instead. Definitely the right call.
r/bikepacking • Anyone using the big Agnes bikepacking hotel tents. ->Am I the only one who does not share a tent with my wife? She carries a Big Agnes 1p and I carry the 2p for that luxury condo on the trail. This works great and with two light tents, is very manageable and gives us our space on a trip where it is nothing but the two of us.
r/backpacking • How do couples sleep when backpacking? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
