The Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL3 Bikepack Solution Dye builds on the features of the award-winning Tiger Wall UL but with a design optimised for two-wheeled travel.
This is the lightest, 2-door, 2-vestibule bike-packing tent in the Big Agnes range. The bike-friendly design features a Shortstik pole set with shortened segments providing a super-compact 33 x 18cm pack size. The toughened compression sack features daisy-chain webbing for handlebar, pannier or saddlebag attachment.
Multiple pockets and attachment systems give you ample storage options for biking gear. These include elastic webbing to secure your helmet and daisy-chain webbing loops on the rainfly to attach wet gear for drying. An interior 3-D shelf lets you stash oversized gear, utilizing dead space above your feet.
The freestanding design pitches the inner first using high-quality DAC Featherlite hubbed pole architecture with velcro tabs connecting the flysheet to the pole structure and pre-cut guylines and tensioners for 3-season stability. The inner can be used as a standalone shelter in dry weather. The fly can be pitched with the additional footprint (sold separately) for a minimalist 'Fast Fly' camping experience where conditions allow.
TipLok corner buckles roll 3 functions into a single mechanism. TipLok includes a secure pole tip capture, rainfly buckle attachment and tensioner, and stakeout loop - all in one handy design. Also included are the lighter, yet stronger Dirt Dagger UL tent stakes with I-Beam aluminium construction.
Inside, there's room for two with a door on either side for hassle-free access and vestibules for added gear storage. Inner pockets and hang tabs help organise belongings with an oversized ceiling pocket to hold lighting and keep water bottles close to hand while media pockets feature cord-routing for electronics. A low vent feature on vestibule doors aids airflow for moisture management.
The updated construction features solution-dyed fabrics that improve the quality of the tent fabric to deliver greater UV resistance while drastically reducing energy consumption and water usage at the point of production for a cleaner, greener design. Seams are taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape while both flysheet and floor feature a silicone-treated nylon ripstop with 1200mm waterproof polyurethane coating for premium wet weather protection.
The Tiger Wall UL3 Bikepack Solution Dye tent is a cycle-friendly 3-person tent for bikers and backpackers looking for minimum pack size without compromising on comfort or protection against changing weather conditions. The low weight means this is a great tent even for two campers looking for extra space on longer trips.
What is Solution Dye?
Big Agnes is the first to introduce solution-dyed fabrics to their equipment category. Solution-dyed fabrics have colour pigments added at the initial stage of production rather than being 'washed-in' post-production. This creates a far more sustainable and eco-friendly friendly process with the following benefits:
- Reduction of water consumption by 50%
- Reduction of energy required for reduced carbon emissions
- 80% less chemicals are used for a cleaner, safer dyeing and finishing process
- Improved quality of fabric with greater resistance to UV fade
