Compact, cleverly designed and impressively light for its space. A refined shelter for bikepackers who value efficiency and well-considered details.
Big Agnes says:
Three-season, semi-freestanding, ultralight bikepacking tent. Designed for two wheeled travel on road and trail, the Tiger Wall UL Bikepack is ready for any storm. Ultralight Hyperbead™ fabric technology combined with a specialized waterproof stuff sack means this tent is more durable and waterproof both on your bike and at camp. A shorter packed size due to our ShortStik pole set, and daisy chain loops integrated into the stuff sack make the Tiger Wall UL Bikepack easy to attach to your handlebars, frame, or anywhere you need to rig it, for bikepacking with ease. Classic Tiger Wall three pole architecture with two doors and two vestibules provides plenty of shelter for you and all your gear while waiting out rainstorms.
Our Verdict
The Tiger Wall UL2 Bikepack builds on Big Agnes’s proven ultralight architecture with refinements aimed squarely at two-wheeled travel. At 1097g, it combines recycled 15D nylon with the new HyperBead fabric, offering stronger tear resistance and improved waterproofing. The ShortStik pole system keeps the packed length to just 38 cm, easily fitting between handlebars or in a frame bag, while the drybag-style stuff sack with integrated straps is fantastic for on-bike storage.
Inside, the twin doors, dual vestibules, and cross-pole design provide solid headroom and livable space, though it remains a close fit for two with a full kit. Pitching is fast, and the semi-freestanding frame is stable in moderate winds, though best backed up with well-placed stakes.
Condensation management and ventilation are good for a lightweight tent, and the build quality feels precise and well executed. For solo riders or minimalist pairs, it’s a reliable, three-season shelter that balances weather protection, portability and smart bike-specific functionality better than most ultralight options.
