Overview
Our inspiring review is coming soon, for now here is what Big Agnes has to say:
THREE-SEASON, SEMI-FREESTANDING, ULTRALIGHT BIKEPACKING TENTS
Our award-winning Fly Creek HV UL2 Tent has been redesigned from the stakes up, now using solution-dyed fabric that is highly resistant to UV fade and drastically reduces energy consumption and water use during manufacturing, a process that is better for the environment and improves the quality of the tent fabric. Updated with a larger vertical door entry-arch and steep-wall architecture for more headroom, Fly Creek tents maximize your interior space so you can camp comfortably out in the backcountry. Constructed using ultralight materials with weatherproof, technical features you expect from a three-season tent. The Fly Creek is your go-to, easy-to-setup shelter for ultralight adventures.
50% REDUCTION IN WATER REQUIRED
Nearly 5 gallons of water saved per tent on some models
80% REDUCTION IN ENERGY REQUIRED
Significantly reduces carbon emissions
80% FEWER CHEMICALS USED
For a cleaner and safer dyeing and finishing process
Big Agnes is the first to introduce solution-dyed tent body and fly fabrics to the equipment category. The result is better for the environment and the high UV resistance of the solution-dyed fabrics improves the quality of our tents. Improving already great tents isn’t easy, choosing to lessen the environmental impact while doing so is.
