PUSHING BOUNDARIES
HyperBead™ is Big Agnes' proprietary waterproofing technology, specifically designed for their tents to deliver exceptional performance in harsh weather conditions. This fabric is engineered to be both lightweight and highly durable, offering top-tier waterproof protection while still maintaining breathability. HyperBead™ ensures that adventurers stay dry and comfortable, even in the most challenging environments.
What makes HyperBead™ stand out is its innovative construction, which makes it extremely resistant to water penetration, creating a reliable barrier against rain and moisture. This technology helps to keep the interior of the tent dry, preventing the build-up of dampness that can compromise comfort and gear. Even in heavy rain or wet conditions, HyperBead™ ensures your shelter remains secure and dry, without adding unnecessary weight to your pack.
Designed for the serious adventurer, HyperBead™ combines cutting-edge waterproofing technology with practical durability, helping to keep you protected from the elements and allowing you to focus on your adventure.
WHAT MAKES HYPERBEAD FABRIC SO SPECIAL
HyperBead™ is a proprietary waterproof coating used on a select range of Big Agnes' Ultralight tent fabrics. With its advanced chemistry and unique application process, it represents the most effective and technically sophisticated waterproofing treatment the company has ever implemented.
This innovative technology not only eliminates the need for forever chemicals but also improves on the PFAS-free alternatives currently available in the market. Big Agnes recognised a significant opportunity to go beyond simply removing harmful chemicals and traditional water repellents, creating something new that is stronger, lighter, and ultimately better for the consumer in every aspect.
Since HyperBead™ contains no PFAS chemicals, water repellents (WRs), or C0 finishes, it is far more durable and sustainable than traditional C6 DWR alternatives. Unlike C6 and C0 finishes, it won’t wash out or degrade over time, and it won’t contribute to the accumulation of forever chemicals in either our bodies or the environment.
