Big Agnes Fly Creek HV Ultralight 1 Person Bikepack Tent

First of all, Big Agnes is a hreat company that stands by their products. I upgraded to this tent from a warranty claim on a Seedhouse 1. This tent is a great lightweight minimalist setup. I go ultralight and this fits the bill, could probably cram it into a Nalgene, short poles are also beneficial for bikepacking (easily fits between the drops). Setup is easy enough. There are a lot of internal pockets (love that). The downside, I am 6'2" and this tent is pretty small, I can lay in it easily enough but with a restless night im hitting the walls. I can maybe sit up fully in it, it's close. I consider it to be a luxury bivy. I can fit myself and maybe 2 dry bags inside, and I leave the rest in the vestibule. BUT I knew what I was getting into and most of the time the weight overcomes the sacrifices.

Great light weight tent. Wonderful warranty (Big Agnes replaced my old tent without any issues). I love how easy it is to assemble and how easy it is to pack. The perfect backpacking tent.

I've slept in this tent for at least 45 nights. A good amount of those were on a solo east coast bikepacking tour. Two nights I've slept in this tent in terrible Floridian seaside monsoons - one of which completely flowed underneath the tent lifting my sleeping pad off the ground. The bottom kept nearly all the moisture out and off my pad & sleeping bag. I had a opossum try to ransack my hot boiled peanuts inside the tent in Georgia. It held up long enough for me to get rid of my peanuts & the opossum. I've slept in it on multiple occasions throughout Dolores Canyon CO, Moab UT, northwest Arkansas. several subalpine locations throughout CO, the islands outside of Seattle WA, on the stormy beaches of western Oregon, and multiple lakes & state parks in SW MO. It's held up through it all & I'm by no means someone who takes incredible care of their gear. It just keeps going! No tears, no nothing. Best of all, it's got plenty of handy storage spaces inside. I'd recommend this tent to anyone looking for a lightweight bikepacking & backpacking sleeping solution. My bivy sleeping friends are envious of my backcountry comfort.

Love this tent. Lightweight + easy setup. I use it for backpacking as well as bikepacking!

There are many aspects of this tent that I like. It is light and well constructed. The one thing that drives me crazy though is the three strap design on the bag. This doesn't allow you to center the bag on handlebars. Yes you can offset it. However I believe four straps would be much nicer and allow you to center the stem and have two straps on each side. This would likely distribute the load across the bars better too.

Love this tent! For warmer temps I leave the fly at home and roll up my Big Agnes pad and tent in my handlebar bar bag. The short sticks fit great in my frame bag. I know the bag is ready for handlebar attachment by itself, but sometimes I like to customize my load depending on the terrain.

Not only is this pack great for bikepacking, but it's small design makes it great for any kind of use. No issues with the tent so far
