AWARD-WINNING 3-SEASON 2 PERSON TENT
The award-winning HV UL2 Fly Creek tents have been redesigned with eco-friendly, solution-dyed fabric that offers exceptional UV resistance while drastically reducing water, energy, and chemical use during manufacturing.
With a trail weight of 879g and a packed weight of 1020g, the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL2 Solution Dye Backpacking Tent features a double-wall design, one door, and a porch.
The updated design includes a larger vertical door entry-arch and steep-wall architecture, maximising interior space for greater comfort.
Built with ultralight materials and weatherproof, technical features expected of a three-season tent, Fly Creek tents not only enhance your camping experience but also lessen environmental impact with significant reductions in water and energy consumption, making them an ideal choice for conscious adventurers.

REVIEWS
"It pitches with a single integrated hub pole and has top quality features such as partially solid nylon walls that block spindrift and help to insulate. This tent is quite small but is an excellent choice for two people who like to snuggle or a single hiker."
"Its super thin materials make it very packable, and it fits into a tiny stuff sack, or you can shove it into the extra space in your backpack."

WHAT WE THINK
What really impressed us most about the Fly Creek HV UL2 is how roomy it feels for a two-person tent. Despite its lightweight construction, the tent offers ample headroom and a more open feel than many other ultralight models. The higher peak height gives you enough space to sit up without feeling cramped, and the dual doors with two vestibules make entering and exiting the tent a breeze, plus they provide extra room to store gear outside the tent but still protected from the elements.
One thing to keep in mind is the lack of interior organisation. The tent is designed with simplicity and weight-saving in mind, so it doesn’t have a lot of internal pockets or places to stash small items. If you’re used to having things within easy reach inside the tent, you’ll need to rely on the vestibule or a gear loft for storage. It’s a small trade-off for the weight savings but something to consider if you like having a bit more organisation inside your shelter.
Overall, the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL2 Solution Dye Backpacking Tent is an excellent choice for backpackers who want a lightweight, compact, and weather-resistant shelter that still offers decent space for two. If you’re all about efficiency and comfort on the trail, the Fly Creek HV UL2 won’t disappoint.
