"Personally snapped a three season tent on rainier from the wind a few seasons ago. Granted it was a big Agnes tiger wall."

"1 of them lasted under 2 years with CONSTANT HEAVY USE, until the rain fly started leaking a lot and the zippers broke."
"Out west where it’s dry it matters less but when I’ve been in really wet areas like the AT or this year on the ADT through Ohio I like having a separate rainfly. That way I can put the soaking wet fly on the top of my pack to dry as I walk and the dry ish inner can go inside my pack in dry or damp storage"

"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."
"My only complaints is that it's a bit fussy to get the fly taut"
Try the REI re/supply. I got a Big Agnes tent that retails for $499 for $134. Also, REI sale is coming up in a few weeks and there will probably be a good deal on their own brand tents and others.
r/CampingGear • Need advice regarding a Packable tent ->I bought a Big Agnes UL2 Tiger Wall for $134 at the REI resupply section. If there's a store near you it might be worth checking that out regularly.
r/PacificCrestTrail • Best PCT trail tent on a budget? ->I love the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2! I don’t agree you need a 3p for 2 people though. I’ve had two in mine many times. It’s just tight and your bags have to go outside. If you want more room though, yeah the 3p bc the 2p is tiiiiight lol
r/hikinggear • Best tent with full mesh? ->Mate, just go to wildearth AU web and order big agnes tiger wall UL2 for a solo tent. Cheers
r/CampingGear • Looking into getting my first real tent, would this be suitable? ->There is no problem with ventilation in Tiger Wall since the inner tent is almost entirely mesh the amount of air coming through under the fly is plenty. But if you want a semi-freestanding tent I would rather recommend Mountain Hardwear Strato UL 2, it has more space. Not sure if you can find it for £300 though. Between the ones you consider X-mid is actually the champion in terms of space inside.
r/Ultralight • Tent advice - Big Agnes tiger wall vs Durston x-mid 2 vs Gossemear gear the 2 ->I have the the standard yellow tigerwall ul2 and I LOVE IT I've use it on the jmt and colorado trail, when it's not super likely to have condensation I love having my rainfly off and feeling like I'm still outside. Plus the yellow mesh gives everything a little bit of a warm tone, which is lovely
r/CampingandHiking • Best tent with full mesh? ->you have to be a bit more careful quoting accurate weights, since it could make a difference. I believe X-Dome is indeed 2.7lbs or 2lbs 11oz. Plus the poles. MSR Freelight 2 is 2 lbs 5 oz. BA Tiger Wall UL2 is 2 lbs 3 oz. I would honestly go with Tiger Wall for your use. Don't use the footprint, just be somewhat mindful of your site selection.
r/Ultralight • Help me choose among 3 tents ->I have a Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL 2 and it’s perfect for me. When I go solo it’s nice and roomy. When I go with my daughter there’s just enough room for us both. Plenty of vestibule space for our gear. It’s my ideal tent.
r/WildernessBackpacking • Suggestions for a backpacking tent that is a reasonable weight but isn't "Ultralight"? ->I love my Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2. I hear good things about the Copper Spur UL2 as well.
r/hikinggear • Best tent with full mesh? ->Yup. UL2 fits me and my beautiful wife and two idiot chihuahuas perfect. But I get why people want a 3 person for a bit of extra room. When I go solo it holds everything inside just fine. I look at it like my van. My van is not for living in. My van is for sleeping in and storing items.
r/hikinggear • Best tent with full mesh? ->Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL1 or UL2, or Copper Spur UL1 or Copper Spur UL2.
r/backpacking • Backpacking tent for a tall person ->I’m 6’3”, plenty of room in my Tiger Wall UL2. I’ve used it since 2018.
r/backpacking • Backpacking tent for a tall person ->If you want freestanding, the Big Agnes line is well loved. Sold my Tigerwall UL2 this year for $250 with groundsheet (semi freestanding). The copper spur is also well loved and is freestanding. I just got the X-mid 1 pro and slept in it for the first time Sunday night. Dan put so much thought into the little details. Friday is a 3 day trip to Grayson Highlands where I'm expecting weather and will put it to the real test. Regarding your pup, if you put him inside you might want to look into a tyvek sheet to put on the inside for them, depending on how long/sharp their nails are. Or, maybe you already have booties for them.
