Big Agnes Fly Creek 2 Person HV UL Dome Tent Review

The Fly Creek 2 HV UL has one door and a peak center height of 3' 4, which is 11 inches less than the average height of the 204 various 2 person tents we have studied. With 28 square feet of room inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, another camper throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make an awesome choice for campers that welcome spending heaps of time outside exploring the great outdoors.

Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The most straightforward dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Affords you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
2. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 28 square feet, the Fly Creek 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 204 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Fly Creek 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Nylon rip-stop, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Value for money: As far as value for your money, this tent is tad bit cheaper than the usual price of all the two hundred and eighty-five, two-person tents we have taken a look at, this by itself does not make it good value for money.
