These tents donโt happen by accident. At Big Agnes, we design our ultralight backpacking tents with the intention of making them as light as comfortably possible. Our proprietary designs are tweaked, tested, and tweaked again, to ensure that you can rely on them for protection from the elements whether you're spending a weekend camping in the backcountry or on a months-long thru hike. The final samples are taken into the field and put through rigorous testing so you can push your favorite ultralight backpacking tent to the limit, over and over again.
