The Big Agnes Big House Deluxe Tent: 6-Person 3-Season is a spacious, comfortable, and protective option that works well for campers who frequently go out all year round. This tent might be too much for those who go solo-camping or only take their tents out a few times a year due to the expensive price and the size, but for those avid campers who want an interior you can stand up in, a durable fabric you don’t have to worry about, and for those who don’t care about having plenty of spaces to store their gear, this could be a good option.
The Big Agnex Insulated AXL Air Sleeping Pad is a lightweight, comfortable, and easily-transportable option that might be best suited for those who prefer warm-weather camping over all-season use. Despite being expensive, not the most durable, and not very warm, this is a decent option for those who camp or hike in warm weather, want a thick and comfortable mattress, and want to pack lightly for their trip.
The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL3 Tent: 3-Person 3-Season is a spacious, weather-protective, and lightweight option that is best for two or three people on any type of outdoor trip. The lighter weight for being such a protective and roomy tent makes this a great option for backpackers. Despite the inner dimensions being a bit small for 3 people, the adjustability of using canopy-only mode, big vestibules, and tall height of the tent allows for a spacious feel, making this a good option for two or three travelers.
The Big Agnes Big House Deluxe Tent (4-Person 3-Season) is a spacious shelter that feels luxurious when you are inside, with good headroom, lots of internal storage, and the option to add on many of Big Agnes’ signature extra features. This tent offers plenty of space for four people and gear, especially when the vestibule is added, but some of the design features don’t quite work, like the zipper-guards placed on the inside of the tent, allowing rain to seep through, and the lack of a fully mesh back door. Even so, this tent offers good ventilation and good protection from poor weather with its highly waterproof and quality fabric, and has a simple setup and a well-loved storage bag.
The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 2-Person 3-Season tent is very lightweight and easy to pack. It has enough headroom to change clothes while sitting up, though space may be a little tight for two large people. The tent is easy to set up and holds up in wind and rain. Due to its ultralight construction, the fabric, zippers and poles need to be treated carefully to avoid damaging them.
The Big Agnes Q-Core SLX Insulated Sleeping Pad is a versatile pad that can be used for multiple activities, like backpacking and camping. The comfort, warmth, and durability provided make this a superb choice.
The Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Ultra Sleeping Pad is a basic pad that is best suited for those wanting to save money, and won’t be sleeping in much weather below freezing. The lack of insulation and potential for micro-holes leave the durability in question, but the pad is more comfortable than many pads, making this a good choice for a backpacker on a budget.
The Big Agnes Fly Creek Tents are shockingly lightweight. They are well designed and backed by top notch Big Agnes customer service. There are certainly more durable and roomier backpacking tents available, but if treated with care, Fly Creek tents can withstand the test of time and the feather weight more than makes up for the fragile materials.
The Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2, UL3 Tent is incredibly lightweight while still providing a good level of comfort. Due to its lightweight construction, it is not the most durable or full featured backpacking tent, but for those concerned with weight and packability, it is hard to beat this tent.
