Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL1 Tent

For ultralight backpackers who don't want to give up comfort or weather protection, the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL1 Tent delivers an impressive balance of low weight, livability, and dependable 3-season performance. Weighing just 1 lb. 13 oz. minimum trail weight, this single-person backpacking tent uses Big Agnes' proprietary HyperBead™ fabric to provide a lighter, stronger, and more waterproof shelter without adding unnecessary bulk to your pack.

The Tiger Wall UL1 features a simple single-pole DAC Featherlite structure with a spacious side-entry door and generous vestibule, making it easy to get in and out while keeping your gear protected from the elements. Its high-volume design creates more usable interior space than you'd expect from an ultralight tent, while structured foot-end corners give you additional room between your sleeping bag and the tent wall.

HyperBead fabric is at the heart of the Tiger Wall UL1's updated design. It's 6% lighter, 25% more waterproof, and 65% stronger than traditional fabrics, helping you cut weight without sacrificing the protection you need for long days and changing conditions in the backcountry. The fabric uses a 1,500 mm waterproof coating without intentionally added PFAS.

Inside, a large 3D ceiling pocket and additional ceiling and side pockets give you plenty of space to organize small essentials. Low vents on the vestibule door and a double-slider zipper help increase airflow when conditions are warm. Reflective guylines and webbing make the tent easier to spot around camp at night, while the TipLok™ buckle and easy-to-use pole socket simplify setup.

With its 1 lb. 13 oz. minimum trail weight, 19-square-foot floor, 8-square-foot vestibule, and 3-season construction, the Tiger Wall UL1 is a great choice for fast-and-light backpacking trips, long-distance trails, and anyone looking to keep their shelter setup light without sleeping in a cramped bivy.
