Big Agnes Pitchpine VST Tent: 1.5-Person 3-Season Asphalt/Mint Leaf, 1.5P

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Pitchpine VST Tent on a 3-day fastpack and was blown away by how light it felt in the pack and how fast it pitched. It’s non-freestanding, so site selection matters, but the interior space is impressive—especially with that extra 0. 5 sizing for gear. HyperBead fabric sheds weather like a champ.""When every ounce counts, the Pitchpine VST Tent delivers on weight savings without sacrificing space or protection. Built with Big Agnes' proprietary HyperBead™ fabric and a hybrid single/double-wall design, this solo shelter is ideal for long-distance thru-hikes, alpine fastpacks, or minimalist weekend getaways. And thanks to the extra 0. 5-person sizing, there’s room to stash our pack—or let a trail pup curl up comfortably inside. With a trail weight under 2 pounds and no trekking poles required, setup is fast and simple, even after a long day on the move. The non-freestanding single-pole structure creates a sleek silhouette that sheds wind, while the elevated mesh panels and integrated venting drastically reduce condensation inside. HyperBead fabric brings a strong but lightweight feel and a 4000mm waterproof rating for full weather protection—without the need for PFAS. It all packs down to just over a pound in your pack, making it an easy choice when going light is the only option."
