A tried and true shelter, Big Agnes’s Blacktail 3 tent is a classic backpacking model. With a freestanding design, you can pitch it on a range of terrains. The symmetrical structure and pre-bent poles increase headroom for improved camp comfort.
Suitable for three people, dual vestibules aid access and ensure you’ve all got room to store your kit. When it’s time to turn in for the night, four interior mesh pockets let you keep your essentials close to hand. If you’re lucky with the weather, pitch the Blacktail without the flysheet and stargaze from the comfort of your sleeping bags!
