High-speed Setup

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020

Very lightweight and easy to set up the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL is a great tent for backpacking. It stands up reasonably well in the and is well ventilated. The mesh keeps the bugs out too. It is a bit fragile but that is to be expected with any UL tent. The best thing about is how fast and easy it is to setup. If you have been hiking all day and if you are completely spent... That is this tents time to shine - it pitches super easy. There is a fair amount of room in the vestibule so you won't have to sleep with your pack.

This tent is sold as a two person, but does not work well for two. I traded it to someone else and moved to a bigger tent for two.

I love the weight. Found it easy to set up even after dark. Held up excellent in rain but would recommend a footprint and maybe a rag for the inside of rainfly as condensation does catch. Though it might have been I set the rainfly as low as I could get it keep the warmth in and wind out. It’s so light and soft I fear tearing it on the slights snag of a branch. Still glade I saved $450 by going with it over a zpacks duplex with poles. Roughly the same weight at half the cost.

Great tent, pretty light. But not Ultra in my opinion.

I have slept in various Big Agnes tents and really like the fly Creek for the weight.

It is a two person tent as you can fit two ZLights side by side and keep your packs in the vestibule. This works best with someone who you plan to cuddle and y'all communicate who's taking there jacket off.

It's two pounds and less than four hundred dollars for a free standing dry tent.

I set this tent up in my backyard when I received it. I could not believe how light it is. I bought a book the same day this tent arrived, and believe it or not, the book is heavier than the tent! I can't wait to take this out into the field.

The best non-trekking pole backpacking tent.

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020

This damn near perfect backcountry backpacking tent works perfectly. I've put 3 years of moderate use into it, and it still seems brand new. From what I've seen out there, this is pretty much the lightest (and best in my opinion) backpacking tent available that uses actual tent poles. My next tent will be one that uses trekking poles instead of tent poles, like something from ZPacks.

La estrené hace unos días en picos de Europa en Vega Urriello, una noche de viento endiablado y lluvia y la tienda aguanto perfectamente
Por poner un pero, el suelo es muy fino, pero me he comprado el footprint y ya es la tienda perfecta

Couple of design faults in high winds but otherwise great tent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Bought for wild camping and bike packing the NC500. I’m 6ft4 and found the sleeping compartment spacious, but would definitely not use as a two man. It’s recommended to buy a separate ground sheet which I found for £70. It also comes with 11 tent pegs which means you don’t have enough to stake out all the guy lines in windy conditions (14 tent pegs needed in total). The entry vestibule is tiny, but due to the design of the tent you can collapse part of the sleeping compartment to get wet kit off and warm kit on out of the rain. THE BIGGEST design floor is that the fly sheet only connects to the pole structure via a single velcro tab (position 2 on photo), which leaves the pole structure very mobile at the foot end of the tent and it loses its shape (position 1). For this reason you can’t pitch the tent with the vestibule pointing away from the direction of wind / rain. A second velcro tab at the position i’ve highlighted (position 1) would fix this problem completely. In the second photo you can see how the fly moves away from the pole structure and creates a lot of flapping noises making it difficult to sleep.
Other than these faults this tent was very good, kept me warm and dry in heavy wind and rain on exposed terrain, was extremely light and easy to put up in the rain.

Livability, ease of set up, weather resistance// Habitabilidad, montaje, resistencia a inclemencias

Reviewed in Spain on August 8, 2021

After nearly a year using this tent quite regularly, I would like to provide a thorough assessment based on my experience.
- Livability (4/5): Highly comfortable, and easy to use. You can sit up in it, which is a big plus. However, if feels very crammed for two people in long hikes.
- Ease of set up (4/5): Easy to set up even in windy conditions.
- Weather resistances (1/5): Ok under light rain/wind. And, probably, If it came with all the tent stakes, it could be used even in wintery weather if you found yourself in a storm. However, it was delivered WITH 6 TENT STAKES MISSING, so I had to bring extra stakes. Otherwise you cannot secure the tent and it flaps and doesn't holds its shape under storms and windy weather. That is the reason for the 1/5 stars. Given the price you pay, it should include all necessary components.
- Durability (3/5): This tent seems quite delicate in comparison to others. Terrain that is very prickly, sticky, or rugged could puncture and tear this tent. Thus, site selection is very important. You could also buy their very expensive ground sheet, which features the grommets you need to make it work. Or make one yourself, as I did (it takes time and it is not nearly as lightweighted as theirs, of course).

Overall: Very comfortable and livable, easy to set-up but low weather protection (unless you purchase extra stakes) and a careful use is required.

Después de casi un año utilizando esta tienda con bastante frecuencia, me gustaría aportar una valoración exhaustiva en base a mi experiencia.
- Habitabilidad (4/5): Muy cómoda. Te permite estar sentado dentro, lo cual es de agradecer en una tienda ultraligera. Para dos personas, en travesías largas, resulta muy justo, especialmente en la zona de los pies.
- Facilidad de montaje (4/5): Fácil de montar, incluso con viento.
- Resistencia a inclemencias meteorológicas (1/5): En general, aguanta bien la lluvia y el viento. Pero no se entrega con todas las piquetas necesarias para asegurar la tienda atando todos los vientos (faltan 6 piquetas). Es decir, es necesario comprarlas aparte. Esta es la razón por la que puntúo tan bajo esta sección. Creo que por el precio que se paga, debería incluir el material necesario.
- Durabilidad (3/5): La tienda, por el hecho de ser ultraligera, tiene un aspecto algo más frágil que otras. Hay que tener mucho cuidado a la hora de elegir el sitio de acampar, pues piñas, piedras afiladas, ... pueden romperla. Se puede proteger el suelo comprando la lona que venden, con los agujeros correctos, pero es bastante cara.

Valoración general: Muy cómoda y confortable, muy fácil de montar y de transportar. Pero ofrece (tal como viene, sin las piquetas necesarias), poca protección.
