The vestibule goes back over the opening of the tent and when you unzip after a night of rain--- bam! water dumps right on the old ladies face and im in the doghouse first thing in the morning. Other than that, has the big agnes quality and is mighty light.
Spectacular 2 person, cosy 3p tent

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is a three. And it will fit three. Not three big boys like me, but three in a pinch. But it is an ultralight, small three person tent. This is ideal for two people cruising for several days. It is only a pound heavier than the UL2 but offers an extra ten square feet of personal space. That means a lot when you're stuck inside waiting out a storm or when you just want to be able to roll over without worrying about rolling onto your tent mate.
I picked this tent up with my wife's blessing after she swore she'd never share my seedhouse SL2 again.
The SL2 is a tiny tent, even for me by myself. I'm not surprised she wasn't happy inside.
The tent sets up nicely, but the poles are delicate. The tent won't hold up to 60mph winds. But it's not meant to. Stake it out, sleep happy, pack it up and don't worry about splitting the weight. It's so light, there is no need.
Great tent - small size!

Was looking a small tent for 1 or two persons for cyclotourism trip. Didn't ried it yet but once unpack, I was impress by the weight and small little details that should make that tent perfect!
Great, but with a flaw

Great tent. Love the weight. As for most tents, the 3 person fits 2 comfortably. I'm 6'2 and didn't have a problem with my head or feet touching. The downside was that when it rained, the inside of the tent would get wet when getting in and out...the peak of the rainfly dripped water into the tent body. No good!
in love with lightweight

This is the lightest weight 3-person tent I have ever owned. Super easy assembly with a squared of roof that makes it feel extra roomy. It's quickly becoming the envy of my camping buddies. :)
One of the best

Big Agnes simply make great tents. For anything but the very lightest camping I would call this a two person tent though. I would also not recommend using this in anything but somewhat warmer weather. It does not hold heat well when it gets chilly. The open ceiling is great for summer camping and watching the sky as you drift off to sleep. The tent is overall very light and I would recommend it to any level of backpacker or camper.

2.5 Season tent
jaime.hale2166437

This tent was a probably a little too lightweight/cold for a late October hike in the Entiat (Northern Washington Cascades) last year, but has done really well in the Enchantments in September, and the central Cascades in the cold, rainy spring. It is easy to set up, weighs only 4.1 lbs with the ground cloth (highly recommended) and is spacious for two people or cozy for three. It hasn't had any condensation buildup on the inside, and has stayed nice and dry inside during the occasional overnight rain shower. I haven't had it in a deluge or a windstorm yet, so I can't comment on the durability and performance limits, but it has done really well for being an ultralight tent.

Best Ultralight Option for two people
Yung Lee

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.
Anybody with experience on the vestibule...

Anybody with experience on the vestibule in the 3 man? (Sorry-I thought I was asking the question about the particular model above. Thanks though Matthew). The sq ft of the 3 man looks good for 2 people, but I wasn't sure about the volume of the vestibule. Thanks.
James Jenden
Member since
The vestibule is pretty small, but it'll hold your packs. That 39sq. feet inside means there's also plenty of space in there for some packs and stuff if there're just the two of you.
How's the vestibule in this tent? Is it...
AbleMob
Member since
How's the vestibule in this tent? Is it roomy enough for 2 good sized packs and boots? How about cooking? Been spoiled with a poled/hooped vestibule on a 4 season mountain tent. (11 lbs!)
Matthew Niedermiller
Member since
The vestibule is pretty small. No way you can put 2 packs boot and cook at the same time. The tent is super light but not very roomy inside the tent or vestibule. A lot of people use the 2 man as a roomy one man. If you want something roomier get the 3 man.
How about two adults and two adult dalmatians...
Dave Schultz
Member since
How about two adults and two adult dalmatians (60lbs each)? Thinking about using this for a Wind River Traverse, and torn whether to get this, the Copper Spur, or the same versions in a 4-person (each dog like a person, or half a person ...). Thanks.

If it is in my hend i'll take this and not the "Fly Creek UL4 Tent" for it a "dome" tent and have more space
my go to tent
Isaac Rogers

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.
