The Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL 2 has a modified architecture that creates greater internal space while still boasting a trail weight of just 2 pounds!

Description

Bringing an extra measure of livability to the freestanding, award-winning design of the Fly Creek tent, the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL 2 has a modified architecture that creates greater internal space while still boasting a trail weight of just 2 pounds!

Tapered from the head to the foot of the tent, the interior of the Fly Creek HV UL 2 measures 52" at its widest point and stretches a full 86" in length. The 28 square feet of interior space provides ample room for 2 backpackers or serves as a roomy shelter for one. An integrated vestibule offers 7 square feet of additional weather-protected external storage space. High Volume pole architecture increases the verticality of the sidewalls and the door so that there is more elbow room and livable space inside the tent. Three interior mesh pockets provide places to stash gear and clothes while integrated gear loft loops offer a connection point for the Big Agnes Triangle Gear Loft (sold separately).

Ample mesh on the tent body and a large mesh door maximize cross ventilation and provide circulation to fight condensation build-up. Coated with 1200mm waterproof polyurethane, the silicone-treated rip-stop nylon floor and rainfly are lightweight and durable. All of the Fly Creek HV UL 2's seams are sealed with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape (no PVC or VOCs) to further protect the tent from the elements.

Lightweight, collapsible DAC Featherlite NFL pre-bent poles provide the tent with freestanding structure. The single hub/pole design works in conjunction with the tent body's integrated clips to make setup fast, easy and intuitive.

If you really want to travel light, leave the tent body at home and use the rainfly alone with the optional Fly Creek HV UL 2 Footprint (sold separately) for a tarp-style set-up that weighs a mere 1 pound, 7 ounces!

  • DAC Angle Hub, unique to Fly Creek HV tents, enables improved high volume pole architecture resulting in steeper wall angles

So happy to own a classic now. One of the best.

Likes

Love this tent for its roominess and perfect detail in such a lightweight package. Quality all around. The carbon fibre poles and quick connects are perfect. Substantial rainfly seals the deal.

Dislikes

Front door mesh requires some care to zip without catching. Requires quite a few stakes to get the full cubic feet, but enough stakes are provided (and they are great).

Vestibule too small for my needs

Likes

Light, Well-made Like all Big Agnes tents (I’ve had and use for the last 5 years a Copper Spur UL2), the Fly Creek UL2 HV is a well-made and complete tent package. It is just not the right tent for my needs as I plan a 2020 AT thru-hike. I am looking to cut my tent weight in half, which the Fly Creek almost does.

Dislikes

Vestibule design, Body-first setup I need vestibule space for my pre-dawn morning coffee, and the tight slope does not give me the vertical space. It rains a lot during hiking season on the AT, so I was looking for a tent that I could quickly setup dry in the rain as well as cook in the vestibule. I went with the out-of-the-box design of the Sierra Designs High Route 1.

Great Lightweight Tent

Likes

Very lightweight and small pack size. Excellent materials.

Dislikes

A little snug for a 2 person tent, but makes a great 1 person tent if you want a little room to stretch out.

Perfect backpacking tent

Likes

This tent is ultralight, easy to set up, perfect for one person with room for gear. It's a fair price for one of the lightest two-person, mostly freestanding tents on the market. Big Agnes is a quality brand.

Dislikes

With any ultralight tent they are ultra-delicate. You have to be careful not to puncture the ultralight material. You have to stake out the tent to set it up along with the guy lines to take advantage of the high volume features.

Perfect for 1 person

Likes

This tent fits 1 person plus spare clothes along side your sleeping bag very well, it's the lightest option I could find that still allowed clothes to get inside for colder or wetter nights

Dislikes

The foot area slopes down and if I were much taller (5' 9") my sleeping bag would start to touch the fly and get condensation on the bag

Amazing Quality

Likes

Quality of the craftsmanship along with the innovation that was placed in the design of the tent shows that they build their equipment for backpacking.

Dislikes

Nothing about this product.

Should be considered for its intended purpose...light weight shelter!

Likes

Extremely light weight & ultra packable. I am 6’1” & have plenty of room vertically & horizontally. Using for early season back country archery elk hunting. Stone Glacier 6900, bow, & all gear will fit in tent with me.

Dislikes

Lightest material I have ever used. When I first unpacked tent I was concerned with durability. Time & experience have convinced me I made the right purchase.

Perfect, exactly what I wanted

Likes

Super lightweight, super quick and easy to set up, perfect for one person and wouldn't be bad at all for two (I'm 5'7" 130lbs) Just what I was looking for.

Dislikes

The zippers can get a little stuck but it really doesn't bother me, maybe if they included a patch kit that would be nice, thats it everything else is awesome

Great quality, lightweight tent

Likes

Easy set up and take down. Lightweight. Good quality. Worth the money

Dislikes

Tight for 2 adults. Perfect for 1 person. This tent has to be staked out....not freestanding.

Lightweight, a bit cramped...just what I was looking for

Likes

super lightweight while still maintaining two wall tent design small still enough room on the floor for TWO neolite mattresses. One is the Regular size and one is the Large. We do touch the sides a bit without the sides staked out but it's a backpacking tent and less internal room is expected.

Dislikes

Obviously more room would be nice, but the trade off for weight reduction is worth it.

best ultralight for the money

Likes

super lightweight tons of vestibule room perfect for 1 person and their gear

Dislikes

does require 2 stakes to actually stake out the tent not a 2 person tent, unless you and your 2nd are very small
