About the Big Agnes Blacktail 3
With a trail weight of 2.35kg, the Big Agnes Blacktail 3 tent delivers lightweight performance with a price tag that won't break the bank.
This tried and tested dome tent is built for 3-season camping and trekking. It features symmetrical pole architecture with pre-bent poles to create increased headroom and a spacious interior. The freestanding design is easy to pitch with room enough for three people and kit. The Blacktail features two side-entry doors for hassle-free access while a vestibule on either side gives each occupant added storage space.
The Blacktail pitches inner tent first with a versatile design that lets the canopy stand alone for use in good weather - a great way to stargaze beneath the night sky. By using the additional footprint (sold separately) you can pitch the fly without the inner tent for a minimalist 'Fast Fly' camping experience where conditions allow.
The 3-season design excels in warmer weather with a breathable polyester mesh inner canopy and two fly vents for increased airflow and moisture management. All seams are taped with waterproof polyurethane tape while both flysheet and floor feature a polyester fabric with 1500mm waterproof PU coating to protect against rain.
A number of inner pockets and hang tabs help organise belongings with two media pockets for clean earbud-cord routing for phones or other devices.
The Blacktail 3 person tent offers a robust and sturdy camping shelter with a trail-friendly weight and design underpinned by Big Agnes' quality construction. A superb 3-season tent equally at home on wild camping trips to multi-day car camping and trekking.
