Reviews
"What really sets the Blacktail series apart from its competitors is the large vestibule, which provides a floor area of 28 square feet, perfect for storing panniers and soft bags along with riding gear. Another great use for the vestibule is as a porch for cooking, or relaxing during inclement weather in a folding camp chair"
"The quality of materials and stitching is very good, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Big Agnes, not to mention the pre-bent aluminium poles are very durable." -
