The Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL2 is a legendary, sub-two-pound, two-person backpacking tent. Designed for thru-hikers and minimalist backpackers, it prioritizes weight savings over maximal living area.

Lightweight Semi-Freestanding Design

Unlike the fully freestanding Copper Spur, the Fly Creek HV UL2 employs a semi-freestanding architecture to cut weight down to an absolute minimum. This design ensures portability without compromising essential functionality.

  Angled pole hubs and pre-bent architecture push the walls outward near the ceiling, creating crucial shoulder room when sitting upright facing the door.
