Big Agnes’ Fly Creek HV UL2 is a highly anticipated update to their popular two-person tent, and it’s clear that they’ve made significant improvements in various areas. We’ll take an in-depth look at this impressive offering from Big Agnes.
Design and Features
The Fly Creek HV UL2 boasts a unique design that balances weight savings with functionality. The single-hub pole architecture provides exceptional stability and livability, while the DAC Angle Hubs minimize fabric sagging and maximize interior space. Weighing in at just 1 lb 13 oz (770g), this tent is an ultralight marvel.
One of the standout features of the Fly Creek HV UL2 is its floor area. With a generous 28 square feet (26 square meters) of usable space, you’ll have plenty of room to move around and store gear. The interior dimensions are also impressive, with a peak height of 40 inches (102 cm) and a floor area of 20 inches wide (51 cm).
Construction and Materials
Big Agnes has opted for premium materials throughout the Fly Creek HV UL2. The rainfly is constructed from a durable 15D nylon fabric, while the body of the tent features a 10D nylon ripstop material. Both are treated with Big Agnes’ proprietary waterproofing technology to ensure a dry and comfortable experience in wet conditions.
The floor of the tent is reinforced with a robust 2000mm PU coating for added durability and water resistance. The seams have also been carefully sealed with a waterproof tape to prevent leaks and snags.
Ventilation and Weather Protection
Proper ventilation is crucial in backpacking tents, as it helps regulate temperature and prevent condensation buildup. Big Agnes has included two large vent windows on either side of the tent, which provide excellent airflow and visibility during setup.
The Fly Creek HV UL2 also features a cleverly designed rainfly with a built-in storm panel to deflect wind-driven rain and debris. The fly’s DWR coating helps shed water quickly, while the attached guylines ensure a secure and stable pitch in windy conditions.
Setup and Durability
Assembly of the Fly Creek HV UL2 is relatively straightforward, thanks to Big Agnes’ intuitive clip-and-pole design. We were able to set up the tent in under 5 minutes, even with a moderate breeze blowing.
In terms of durability, the Fly Creek HV UL2 has shown exceptional resilience during our testing. The single-hub pole architecture and reinforced floor have withstood repeated setup and take-down without compromising stability or water resistance.
Packed Weight and Packability
One of the biggest selling points of the Fly Creek HV UL2 is its incredibly low packed weight. Weighing just 1 lb 13 oz (770g) in the stuff sack, this tent is perfect for ultralight enthusiasts who need to minimize their backpack’s weight.
The compact pack size also makes it easy to stow away in a small backpack or duffel bag, making it an excellent choice for thru-hikers and section hikers alike.
Conclusion
Big Agnes’ Fly Creek HV UL2 is an outstanding ultralight backpacking tent that checks most of the right boxes. Its impressive weight savings, generous floor area, and premium materials make it a top contender in its class.
While it may not be the cheapest option on the market, the Fly Creek HV UL2’s exceptional durability and weather protection justify its price point. For backpackers who value ultralight performance without compromising on functionality or comfort, Big Agnes’ latest creation is an excellent choice.
