Big Agnes tents are high-quality and lightweight, making them great options for backpacking. Here's an overview of their tents:
Big Agnes Tiger Wall (1-person/ 2-person / 3-person): The Tiger Wall is an excellent ultralight backpacking tent option. The main difference between the Tiger Wall and the Copper Spur is that the Tiger Wall is semi-freestanding, whereas the Copper Spur is fully freestanding.
