Big Agnes Blacktail & Blacktail Backpacking and Camping Tent

I bought this and recommended to a buddy for our hunting trip in Alaska. The weather was terrible most days but we stayed dry and comfortable! The vestibule is a great way to shelter your gear in bad weather, highly recommend this lightweight and spacious tent A++

I will be using this tent for bicycle trips, bike packing. It is larger than my previous tent but lighter to carry. Even though when packed it is a bit larger than my other tent, it fits on the back rack of my bicycle nicely next to my accordion style sleeping pad. I purchased this because I rented a Big Agnes tent on a bike trip in Idaho. I was always the first person in my group to completely set up or break-down my campsite because these tents are so easy to set up. I am looking forward to many adventures with this tent strapped to my bike. The quality of Big Agnes is unmatched by any other tent I have ever used or owned. They are the real deal.

You can not beat the value of this tent. Great price, great value. Easy to set up. Weigh very, very little compared to other tents. I now have two of these, the smaller one, for backpacking and this one... they are great.

Great tent, super roomy. I'm a Bikepacker and love the vestibule, large enough for my bike or bags to stay out of the elements, the entire tent and rainfly fits into my revelate handlebar bag. the tent poles do not, they are 16 inches long, so I will secure those to the downtube. but overall not the lightest tent, but very durable and I know I'll be comfortable after a long ride

Really like this tent biggest problem with tenting is having enough room for all your junk especially if you wanna keep it out of the rain. This has a really nice porch so to speak you can use it or you don’t have to use it which makes it very versatile so it’s not like you if you don’t want it you’re stuck with it. It’s very easy not to not have to use it so excellent buy.

I used this for backpacking several times and it holds up very well in the rain, keeping me and my gear dry. This does not come with a footprint unfortunately so you will need to buy one if camping on rocks, etc. I personally just used a cheap camping tarp and it works well enough. This tent held me and my significant other pretty comfortably inside the tent. I'm 5'10 and she's 5'7, so we had a decent amount of foot room to store cooking supplies/water. Plus the accessory holders on the roof of the tent are great for putting a phone in and watching a movie at the end of a long day. Overall, I would say this is a great lightweight tent, my only gripe is how large it is when packed up. the whole thing is 22 inches long when put into its original sack with poles and all. I took the liberty to putting the tent and rainfly into an 8L compression sack and putting the poles on the side of my backpack. This gave me substantially more space in my backpack and I would highly recommend it for moving this thing anywhere.

Easy to set up, durable, spacious. For kayak camping this is a wonderful backcountry tent. It's stood up to two full seasons so far now of use. That may not sound like much, but I quite literally camp for a living. Guiding multiday kayak trips, this tent sees more use in one season than the average "outdoorsy" person will go in a few years. It's been through driving rain, relentless sun in the Florida Everglades, and frosty mornings in Isle Royale ntl park. It developed a small leak on the rainfly not long ago but some seam sealer and a quick spray of waterproofing and its back in top shape.It's a big tent, which is an advantage when you have a fair amount of hear and drybags you'd like to keep inside, but it's not for everyone. It doesn't pack down super small, nor is it insanely light, so not the most ideal for backpacking, unless it was shared and actually used for 2 people, but when the weight is held by that kayak it's perfect.

The idea for this tent is great and it has worked well thus far, but I have to say it is very fragile and not a tent I see lasting for more than a few years as I camp a lot for work and fun. The material is very thin and delicate and after 2 uses there were already multiple holes in the rain fly and the tents base in the main body. I was very careful while using it and I believe this may be from packing the tent up. The bag for storage is not big enough and even after carefully rolling it up nice and tight its not easy to load in the sack. Also, while packing it up today I notices there are some sharp pieces of metal in the rainfly/tent base, and this may be the reason for the holes... Short story long... I wish I had spent another 100 bucks and gone with a real mountain/backpacking tent.
