BIG AGNES Tiger Wall UL3 Bikepack Solution Dye - is new exciting addition to Big Agnes Bikepacking series and is the lightest two door and two vestibule tent. Built from the same architecture as award-winning Tiger Wall UL and Platinum series.
The Tiger Wall UL bikepack tent features solution-dyed fabrics, which are used on fly, floor and breathable fabric. Solution-dyed fabrics reduce water and energy use during manufacturing. A process that is better for the environment and improves the quality of the tent fabric, as it is more UV resistant and colorfast. By solution-dying tent fabrics they reduce energy consumption by 80% and water use by 50% compared to traditional fabric dyeing methods.
Equipped with unique TipLok Tent Buckle™ for simplified setup, they've combined three functions: secure pole tip capture, rainfly attachment and tensioner and stakeout loop. This buckle has a keyed hole so the pole-tip locks securely into place during setup and hinged design stabilizes the structure by equalizing forces between the tent body, rainfly and ground stake.
Tent includes new 6'' Dirt Dagger UL tent stakes with orange anodized finish designed with patent pending I-beam aluminum construction. You'll notice the difference with a 25% increase in strength to weight ratio, lightest and strongest BA stakes ever. With a shortened 12'' Shortstick poleset, 4'' shorter than the standard pole length, you can stash these tents on the width of bike handles, panniers and saddlebags or simply saving space in any bag.
Comes in a bikepacking specific water-resistant compression stuff sack to attach to the handlebars and is designed to withstand the rigors of trail travel. With integrated daisy-chain webbing system also offers multiple bike-frame attachment options.
All the features built for bikepacking are a common thread among these specialized bikepack tents like the added webbing for dry helmet storage located on the tent body exterior and daisy-chain webbing loops integrated on the fly exterior to dry out wet clothes and gear. Interior storage solutions utilize dead space above the feet and keep gear stowed and out of the way.
Unique to Bikepack series of tents is extended footprint which creates a vestibule floor for dry, dirt free changing and additional gear storage. Footprint (sold separately) helps protect the floor of the tent from water, mud or sharp objects and extend the life of your tent floor. For those who want to travel light, the footprint enables to pitch a lightweight Fast Fly shelter only with the rainfly, the poles, and the footprint for a tarp style set-up that weighs only 1kg.
