Three season, semi-freestanding, crazylight tent featuring easton® carbon-fiber poles and dyneema® composite fabrics

The iconic, award-winning Fly Creek tent is pushing the boundaries of weight and performance once again. The Fly Creek HV Carbon with Dyneema® Composite Fabrics and an Easton® carbon pole set is for worshipers of high peaks, remote rivers, and spending more nights in your tent than bed at home. These products are intended for only the most advanced user. Although extremely strong for their weight, these tents are not indestructible and require careful use to decrease the possibility of damage. Special care during setup and extended trips is important as rough handling, long-term abrasion, exposure to sharp objects or rocky campsite selection may result in fabric punctures and tears. We highly recommend using tent footprints with these tents to improve durability. Self-adhesive repair patches are included in the event that repairs must be made on the trail.

Features

We took our award winning Fly Creek HV tent and built it using Easton® carbon fiber poles and Dyneema® Composite Fabrics to create the ultimate, light weight structure, engineered to handle the elements like no other tent on earth.

High-volume architecture increases the usable interior space and adds more usable volume to the vestibule

Single-pole architecture makes set up and take down simple and efficient

Single-door and vestibule featuring storm flaps on vestibule zipper

Side-access vestibule provides dry front entry

The side-zipper entry on the vestibule increases covered storage space

Dyneema® Composite Fabric is respected as the premium brand for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. This fabric is ultralight weight, 100% rainproof and has a high dimensional stability that resists stretching or sagging during temperature changes. Its unique structure creates a fabric with extremely high-tear strength and allows for welded construction, which eliminates seams and the need for seam tape, enhancing its durability and waterproofness.

Oversized ceiling pocket provides great storage space

Media pockets located above sleeping area enable clean earbud-cord routing from phones or other devices

All-breathable body saves weight, provides extra privacy and protection from desert sand

Shape-holding corner construction gives the floor plan a boxy, roomy living space

Color-coded webbing and buckles make set up easy

Ready to pitch; with pre-cut guylines and tensioners attached to fly

Reflective guylines and reflective webbing

Easy-grip zipper pulls

These tents are extremely lightweight and require special care to increase their longevity

Use of a footprint is highly encouraged as not using a footprint could quickly damage your floor if you are not careful choosing a campsite selection

To extend the life of your tent floor we recommend using a Big Agnes footprint - sold separately

Multiple interior loops for use with gear lofts or for attaching other accessories

Tent and Footprint Cleaning and Care Instructions:

Storage:

Always make sure your tent is dry and free of debris before storing. Fold and roll your tent a different way each time to avoid permanent creases. Store in a cool, dry place. Never leave your tent in hot temperatures (such as a car trunk or attic space) for long periods of time, as it will damage the material coatings. Storing your tent damp can result in mildew growth, which may cause your tent to smell, leak, or delaminate. Mildew damage is not covered under warranty.

Cleaning:

For light cleaning, sponge the product with warm water (not hot).

For more thorough cleaning you will need:
-Wash basin (or bath tub)-Warm water (not hot)
-Waterproof Gear Cleaner (we recommend products like Nikwax Tech Wash)
-Sponge

1. Submerge your gear in warm, clean water. Gently agitate with hands. Empty dirty water. Repeat until most of the excess dirt/grime is removed and water is mostly clear.
2. Apply waterproof gear specific wash and gently work into fabric with sponge.
3. Rinse gear thoroughly.
4. Hang it up to dry.
5. Triple check that your gear is completely dry before storage or use.

*Do not dry clean or machine-wash. Detergents and dry cleaning solvents will damage the fabric and ruin waterproofing.
*Never use hot water, bleach, liquid detergents, or dishwashing liquids.
*Allow to dry COMPLETELY before storage or use.
*Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as UV exposure can compromise waterproofing.

Seam Sealing:

Big Agnes tents are seam sealed as part of our manufacturing process! This seam tape alone is durable enough to prevent water leakage. Any seams that have been taped do not need to be seam sealed with a liquid sealer unless you want extra protection. Make sure the seam-sealer is completely dry before re-packing your tent. Damage caused by misapplication may void warranty.

Zippers:

Keeping your zippers clean will help keep the coils and sliders from wearing out. If filled with dirt, vacuum or brush zippers before storing tent. We recommend Gear Aid Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant.

Repairs and Warranty:

All Big Agnes tents are guaranteed against manufacturing or material defect. We do not warranty products damaged from normal wear and tear, alteration made by owner, misuse, accidents or damages caused by uses other than intended. Damage due to misuse, normal wear and tear, or improper care may be repaired, at the discretion of Big Agnes, at a reasonable charge. Tents returned for repair must be clean and free of debris.

Setup

FLY CREEK HV CARBON SET UP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove contents from stuff sack. Spread out the tent body.
2. Assemble the pole. To ensure each pole section is fully seated insert each pole section into the next by hand, instead of allowing the shock cord to snap them together.
3. Position the assembled pole set on top of the tent body. Match the colors of the pole ends with the matching colors of the webbing on the tent body.
4. Insert the pole tips into the grommets at the four corners of the tent.
5. Attach all plastic clips on the tent body to the pole structure.
6. Stake out the two cord loops at the head of the tent and the three loops at the foot.
7. Drape the rainfly over the tent so that the door on the fly lines up with the door on the tent body.
8. Attach the Velcro® tab on the underside of the fly to the corresponding pole for the best stability.
9. Make sure the webbing at the corners of the rainfly is completely slackened. Attach the buckles on the rainfly to those on the tent body.
10. Attach the two cord loops at the rear of the fly to the stakes that you used for the tent body.
11. Evenly tension the webbing on each corner as needed to keep the rainfly taut.
12. Stake out the vestibule then stake out all remaining guylines.

5. Drape the rainfly over the pole structure.
6. Attach the Velcro® tab on the underside of the fly to the corresponding pole for the best stability.

10. Stake out the vestibule then stake out all remaining guylines.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP

Our tents are easy to set up, but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for the first time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.
Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor.
We recommend staking out all corners, vestibules and guylines to increase space and ventilation. Securely staking out your tent and all guylines is crucial to maintaining the structural integrity of your tent.
Hang onto your stuff sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter.
Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material.
Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.

What's in a Name?

Fly Creek’s water drains off of Battle Mountain in southern Wyoming and flows into the Little Snake River near its headwaters in Routt County. The water then dances along the border between Colorado and Wyoming, hopping from one state to the other, across counties and through canyons, before dropping south into the mighty Yampa River to run through Dinosaur National Monument and beyond.
