Big Agnes Salt Creek SL2 Tent: 2-Person 3-Season Gray Violet/Warm Olive, 2P

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Salt Creek SL2 Tent out on a weekend loop and loved the roomy headspace and full-size side doors. It’s easy to set up solo, handles weather well, and those 3D bin pockets are clutch for organizing gear off the floor.""From solo missions with extra room to cozy campouts for two, the Salt Creek SL2 Tent offers the kind of smart design that makes backcountry nights more comfortable. We’re big fans of the triple-door setup, which includes two large side doors and an awning-style front entry that doubles as a stargazing perch or shaded gear zone. Steep sidewalls and vertical pole geometry maximize livable space, so we’re not brushing the walls every time we sit up or shift around. Inside, smart storage details like oversized gear shelves and 3D bin pockets create space to organize essentials and keep the floor clear. A low vent at the vestibule improves airflow and reduces condensation without letting in weather. DAC Pressfit poles ensure a stable pitch, and the fly and floor are coated to 1500mm waterproofing—all without using harmful PFAS. Whether we’re deep in the backcountry or posted up at a frontcountry site, the Salt Creek SL2 gives us the space and comfort we’d expect from a much heavier tent."
