C Bar 2

A tent that ticks all the boxes

Even though we dont really like the term entry-level when describing a tent, we have to give it up to Big Agnes for this one: This might be the best all-rounder for newbies who arent sure whether backpacking will be a single weekend thing or a long-term relationship. Its super packable, lightweight and robust, and it comes with a handy front-facing vestibule that doubles up as both a gear store and a cooking space. For us, the Big Agnes C Bar 2 ticks so many boxes, we think this tent will become the new go-to for solo adventurers looking for a high-quality starter tent especially considering it wont break the bank.

• Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado a small ski-town that weve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at .

  Oh, and if youre still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, its either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
