Big Agnes Blacktail 3 Tent

$299.95

Big Agnes Classic

The Blacktail 3 Tent is a tried & true Big Agnes shelter that’s light enough for backpacking and strong enough car camping a couple times in summertime. While primarily used for backpacking, the Blacktail boasts enough versatility for the occasional car camping trip with friends. The rainfly and floor fend off less-than-ideal conditions at camp, while the mesh canopy, vestibule’s low vent, and supportive roof vents improve air circulation and prevent a damp sleeping space. There are a surprising amount of pockets inside, and internal loops let you attach accessories like lights or lofts that big Agnes sells separately.

Features

  • Backpacking tent built tough enough for occasional camping trips as well as trekking all weekend long
  • Dual doors and vestibules create convenient space for all three backpackers needing a dry space to store gear in rainy weather
  • Aluminum Pressfit poles attach to the TipLock buckles for quick-and-easy setup
  • Supportive roof vents and low vent on vestibule increase airflow in rainy weather
  • Internal storage includes side pockets, ceiling pockets, and media pockets, and there are loops for gear lofts, lights, and other Big Agnes accessories
