Big Agnes String Ridge VST Tent: 2.5-Person 3-Season Asphalt/Mint Leaf

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The 2.

5P size hits a sweet spot for me-roomy enough for two people plus gear, or super comfortable for solo trips when I want more space to spread out.

It's still light enough for fastpacking, but the extra vestibule and interior volume make a big difference on longer or more rugged trips.

It's the tent I grab when comfort matters just as much as speed."When we need extra room on the trail without packing extra weight, the Big Agnes String Ridge VST 2.

5-Person Tent steps up.

It's ideal for backpackers who value fast and light performance but don't want to sacrifice livable space.

With enough room to sleep two comfortably-or spread out solo with a dog or gear-it's our go-to for extended backcountry objectives or lightweight overnights with a partner.

This trekking pole-supported shelter is built from Big Agnes's proprietary HyperBead(TM) fabric, offering impressive strength and waterproof protection without added bulk.

The Hybrid Single/Double Wall design balances airflow and weather protection, while the unique asymmetric geometry makes the interior feel open and functional.

A dry-entry vestibule keeps gear protected, and the 41-inch head height means we're not hunched over while organizing camp.

Whether we're chasing distance or comfort-or both-this shelter delivers.
