REVIEWS
"I bought the Big Agnes Blacktail 3 earlier this summer and I love it! Its much more spacious than my 12 year old Marmot Limelight 3 person tent, especially at the head and feet thanks to the bend in the poles that allows them to go more straight up from the ground for a couple of feet before starting to bend toward the top of the dome."
"I really like this little tent. It fits two adults and a 50 lb dog very comfortably. Very easy setup. I love how the poles clip to the tent instead of having to slide through fabric. The 2 doors make it much easier for two people to get out on their own side or store gear outside the tent but under the rainfly."
"construction seems solid and I love that for a 3 person tent it is still fairly lightweight and packable." -
