Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
De Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2 is een populaire keuze onder ultralichte backpackers dankzij het extreem lage gewicht en het compacte formaat. De tent is snel op te zetten en biedt verrassend goede duurzaamheid voor zijn klasse. Hij is redelijk waterdicht en houdt zich goed in regenachtige omstandigheden, maar de dunne materialen vragen om zorgvuldige behandeling. Voor twee personen is de binnenruimte beperkt, vooral als je veel uitrusting hebt. Het niet-vrijstaande ontwerp betekent dat je altijd haringen nodig hebt, wat het opzetten op harde of zanderige ondergrond lastiger maakt. Ook is er maar één deur en vestibule, wat de toegang en opslagruimte beperkt. Over het algemeen is dit een uitstekende tent voor solo-gebruik of minimalistische duo’s die prioriteit geven aan gewicht en pakmaat boven comfort.

I’ve had mine for almost 10 years and it’s been on a lot of trips maybe 50. I use it on my motorcycle and backpacking. I’ve never had a single problem with it and the only thing I’ve done is replace the shock cord in the poles. About the only complaint I have is that the polyurethane waterproofing is starting to get sticky so I don’t imagine it’s gonna last much longer without that becoming a nuisance. I live by the beach, so the moisture is probably accelerating that problem. At least that’s what I’ve been told. I’m not sure if they’ve changed their product quality since then, but knowing the brand I would assume that if anything they’ve made it better. Complaints I’ve seen here and the reviews seem to reflect otherwise or maybe just abuse. You do need to handle all UL tents with delicateness and respect. Or just get a heavier SL tent and be glad you’re not living in the 18thC carrying your teepee!

While it’s not the cutest tent - this one checks off all the boxes as a great backpacking tent that is light weight. Easy to put up and take down with many options for staking down if it’s windy. I do a lot of solo backpacking and this was nice and roomy - a huge step up from sleeping in the bivy. I chose the UL2 over UL1 because the weight wasn’t much different and allows enough room if my partner comes along. It would fit us both just fine.

I used the Fly Creek UL2 over a week in the Sierra. It's lightweight is great. The tent itself felt a bit delicate and need to be careful with fabrics. The 2 person is perhaps made for two very small kids. Not 2 full grown adults. It's a roomy 1 person tent at best. I did not use the rainfly as it was beautiful and clear every night. Okay for star gazing, mesh is still not completely see through. I give 3 stars for not really feeling like a 2 person tent. I ended up returning the tent and will be looking for a more roomy tent for 2 full sized adults. REI associate recommend getting a 3 person if I wanted a true 2 person tent.

I bought this and haven't used it yet. I have been working. But really what could go wrong? No working parts. Now if it was a magic carpet we could talk. I think it is light enough and if durable it will be great!
