Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3 Tent: 3-Person 3-Season

Durable and super light materials, ease of setup, and attractive design is what sold me on this product, and they proved to be true in practice. It's an amazing balance between simplicity, functionality, and adjustability (is that a word?). I'd say you gotta be one close 3-some to be comfortable in this tent, but for 2 people looking to lighten their load on a multi-day trip, I really can't say there's a better tried and true option. Despite the added cost, I'd highly recommend the separately sold footprint. I'm contemplating getting the UL1 for solo trips.

Just wanted to say thanks.I bought a Big Agnes UL3 about a month ago and used it for the first time off trail this weekend. When everyone else had a cold draft and condensation, I was warm, draft free and dry.Big enough for 2 adults, but how nice to have it all to myself! Conditions outside were very wet, cold and windy, but once inside Agnes no cold air penetrated the double wall, and there was not a drop of condensation on the inside of the tent despite a layer of frost outside on the fly. So easy up and down. I was the first one set up when we reached camp and was all packed up, sitting and waiting when everyone else was still tearing down. I loved my Agnes from day one and the love affair just keeps getting better!!!!

There really is no reason why this shouldn't be the first tent you grab for. This tent is very roomy for two people and can squeeze three people. Even as a one person it works very well because it is so lite. The primary benefit of this tent is that it is a freestanding double walled three person at the weight of a single walled three person and even some single walled 2 person tents. The materials are thin but hold up well in the rain and for a tent this lite it is conveniently freestanding. The poles are well designed; however, the tent is clearly no built for high winds.

I did so much research on 2 person tents, looking for a perfect fit. When I found the Agnes Fly Creek UL3-3 person I knew I had found the perfect tent. It is so lightweight, easy up, free standing, and I can gaze at the stars on warm, clear nights! The width and high ceilings allow me to stretch after a long hard day of hiking, and there's plenty of room to invite a friend. I am happy, happy, happy with my Agnes.

Can be felt small for 3, but it's definitely very light and big tent for 2.

The light weight of this tent along with a couple solid reviews led me to purchase this for an 8 day backpacking trip in Wrangell St Elias...Have used 3 season tents for years while backpacking in AK and have never had an issue. Not so with this tent. The fly design means you have to have 8 guy lines fully staked out to not have the fly touching the tent, which even though doesn't necessarily keep moisture from the inner tent. And even if this tent is fully staked out it doesn't do great at handling wind...the wind goes under the fly & through the tent, which is noisier than other tents I've owned, and results in the tent poles flexing a good bit. Our seventh night in this tent the wind actually caused one of the poles to bust in half, collapsing our tent at 4am, and the bent pole tearing a large hole in the fly. I'm sending the tent back to Big Agnes to see what/if they'll cover the damage. This tent would work great for ideal summer weather camping, and I applaud Big Agnes for going super light, but this tent is not cut out for wet, windy, or cold weather, at all.
