"it's basically a palace. ... Has enough space inside for 2 wide mats and all of our gear."
"Works great for me, my husband, and our 40lb dog."
"fits 2 wide pads with room to spare or 3 20inch pads snugly ... works for backpacking trips with me and my 2 kids"

"Survived all the crazy winds in Patagonia."
"Towards the end of the trip I was very rough putting it up one night and snapped a pole but I used one of the tent repair splints they give you and it seemed completely structurally fine with that, even in strong wind again."
"I took a lightweight Big Agnes bikepacking tent on a long 1.5 year trip on the PanAmerica and it did great."

"The reason our crew used them was because they weigh a combined total of 3 pounds, so it only added 1 lb to each person’s pack."
"still pack to around 3.5lbs on the trail."
"very light for the size."

"It is basically the same sent, but the difference is having two side entrances on the Tiger Wall vs. a single rear entrance on the Fly Creek. ... With two adults (especially two adults and two kids), you'll be tripping over each other if you do not make having _two side entrances_ a must-have feature for a _backpacking_ tent."

"Personally snapped a three season tent on rainier from the wind a few seasons ago. Granted it was a big Agnes tiger wall."
"The poles snapped and several lines broke and one buckle broke last night on my Big Agnes Tiger Wall while on my thru hike. ... Yes it was wind failure, the tent was pitched with the BA label facing the wind - wind changed direction around 2am and the gusts were too much for the tent to handle. I'm uncertain of the gust speed, perhaps 40-50 mph at the Wind Farm close to White River, CA."

"I found the fabric very delicate and needing of a ground sheet, more so than my other backpacking tents."
"Only damage to any of the tents (first time out in a brand new UL3) was when I walked away with the dog in the tent and she paw'd at the screen and ripped it."

"It’s annoying to set up, so wouldn’t recommend for someone new. ... It doesn’t have the 3-point pole connection which makes the Tiger Wall annoying."

"Big Agnes quoted me $109.99 for a new poleset (plus postage to the UK) which seemed too much. ... They did mention I could buy individual segments for cheaper, but that's still a lot of money because of the postage"
