A tent that ticks all the boxes
Keeping it simple might seem an anomaly in a world of super technical camping gear, but it's the biggest strength of the C-Bar from Big Agnes. Designed to be the ultimate all-rounder it offers all the quality of their more specialised ultra-light tents, but at a more accessible price point, while still having everything you need for nights in the wild. The recycled and waterproof Polyester fabric strikes the right balance between light and durable, and the DAC poles provide plenty of strength to withstand the elements. It's easy to pitch, has plenty of storage in the vestibule and comes with a gear loft to make sure you can keep everything inside organised. Coming in at under 2kg it's still lightweight enough to carry easily, whether it's a weekend out in the National Parks or coming along as your home away from home when heading out on long distance trails.

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
