Three-season, semi-freestanding, lighter-than-ultralight tent
Big Agnes says:
Our Salt Creek SL series of tents features three doors for superior views, ventilation, and versatility.
Double side doors with ample vestibule storage, plus one head-entry door with an awning-style entrance transforms this shelter into the best star gazing vantage point at the campsite. Steep walls create ample shoulder space and typically dead space above the foot of the tent is maximized with 3D bin pockets, providing extra storage where it won’t get in the way. This tent checks all of the boxes for fully-featured backpacking tent that can easily make a good home in the outdoors.
