BIG AGNES Fly Creek HV2 Carbon - is 2-person tent built using Easton® carbon fiber poles (vs. aluminum in UL classic version) to save 30% weight (vs UL classic version) and Dyneema® fiber-based fabrics to create the ultimate, lightweight structure engineered to handle the elements like no other tent.
High volume architecture increases overall interior space and adds more usable volume to the vestibule. The single front door and vestibule provides the dry front entry while increasing covered storage area. The single-pole architecture makes setup and take down simple and efficient. Easton® carbon fiber poles are lightweight and flexible with high strength-to-weight ratio. Ultralight plastic clips attach the tent body to the pole frame. Storm flaps on the vestibule zipper paired with Dyneema® 100% rainproof fabric ensures you and your gear keep dry from outside elements. Dyneema® Composite Fabric is ultra lightweight and retains a high-dimensional stability that resists stretching or sagging during temperature changes. DCF does not sag when wet so you don’t need to re-tension the the tent in the rain. It's unique structure creates a fabric with extremely high-tear strength and allows for welded construction, which eliminates seams and the need for seam tape, enhancing its durability and waterproofness. The all-breathable ripstop nylon tent body saves weight, provides extra privacy and protection. The oversized ceiling pocket allows for ample stash space. Shape-holding corner construction gives the floor plan a boxy, roomy living space. These products are intended for only the most advanced user. Although extremely strong for their weight, this tent is not indestructible and require careful use to decrease the possibility of damage. Special care during setup and extended trips is important as rough handling, long-term abrasion, exposure to sharp objects or rocky campsite selection may result in fabric punctures and tears. If puncture does happen it won't spread and is simple to repair it. Big Agnes includes a self-adhesive Dyneema patches so you can easily repair a puncture and restore full functionality even on trail. Big Agnes highly recommend using tent footprint with this tent to improve durability. Big Agnes footprint is also awesome for the Fast Fly setup (pitching just the fly using the footprint, poles, and stakes). The Fly Creek HV2 Carbon weighs 510 g on the trail.If you are a worshiper of high peaks, remote rivers, and spending more nights in your tent than bed at home the Fly Creek HV2 Carbon is just for you.
