What is a 3-season tent?
Designed to keep you and your gear out of the elements Big Agnes 3-season tents are ideal for trips in the Spring, Summer, or Fall. Using lightweight materials and designs, they will keep you dry without adding extra bulk or weight, leaving room for more camp comforts. While a 3-season tent has the structural strength to handle high winds or a surprise light snowstorm, if you're expecting snow on your trip you'll want to look into a burlier 4-season shelter.
How to pick the right tent?
Some of the factors you want to consider when picking your tent are:
- Capacity: How many people will be sleeping in your tent?
- Weight: Based off the activity you'll be using your tent for, how much are you willing to carry?
- Packed Size: how much space will your tent take up in your backpack/car?
- Intended use: will you be using your tent for backpacking, bikepacking, car camping, mountaineering, or another application?
How to set up a tent?
It is always recommended that you set up your tent at home before bringing it on its first adventure, to familiarize yourself with the set up steps. All Big Agnes tents come with printed set up instructions, and if you lose yours you can always find them on our website, on your tent's page under "Setup".
