Stronger, drier, and lighter, HyperBead fabric brings new life to a minimalist favourite.
Big Agnes says:
Lighter, stronger, and more waterproof than ever thanks to our proprietary HyperBead™ fabric, the Tiger Wall UL is ideal for minimalists looking for a side entry, ultralight tent.
Defined by its high-volume, single pole architecture with large side entry doors and generous vestibule space, this tent is a favorite for backcountry adventures for good reason. Single pole architecture using DAC Featherlite materials create a simple, yet sturdy structure you can rely on through multi-day trips. The comfort and weight savings of the Tiger Wall UL make tent life easy for your three-season adventures.
Our Verdict
The 2024/25 update to the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2 introduces HyperBead fabric to the fly and floor, noticeably more waterproof and rugged while shaving a bit of weight. The structure itself is unchanged, which is no bad thing. Twin side doors, two vestibules, and a cross-pole at the apex create real liveability for an ultralight tent.
At 1012g (ex pegs/bags), it's impressively light for a freestanding design. There’s enough space for two, especially with near-vertical sidewalls that improve headroom, though as with all two person tents, for anything other than the odd night away i would always use this tent solo. Interior storage is smartly handled, with a large 3D bin pocket and ceiling loft keeping gear tidy. Mesh walls encourage airflow, although there are no fly vents, so, propping a vestibule open is still the best way to reduce condensation.
For fast-and-light trips where space, weight and function all matter, the Tiger Wall UL2 remains one of the most comfortable tents in its class.
