About this product

The Big Agnes Fly Creek HV Carbon 2 is a 3-season backpacking tent engineered for weight-conscious hikers who refuse to compromise on weather protection. Its minimum trail weight of 1 lb. 2 oz. (packaged weight 1 lb. 7 oz.) and packed size of 5 x 18.5 inches make it one of the most compact two-person shelters available. The floor and rainfly are constructed from ultralightweight Dyneema fiber-based fabric, which is 100% rainproof and resists stretching or sagging across temperature swings. Welded construction eliminates seams entirely, removing the need for seam tape while enhancing both waterproofing and durability. A single 8.7 mm carbon fiber and aluminum pole keeps setup straightforward, while the high-volume architecture expands usable interior space across 28 square feet of floor area and a 7-square-foot vestibule. Peak height reaches 40 inches. The breathable nylon ripstop canopy, single-door layout with storm flaps, side-access vestibule, and reflective guylines round out a shelter designed for experienced, weight-focused backpackers. A footprint is recommended but not included.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Fly Creek HV Carbon 2 for its extraordinary weight, with a trail weight of around 18 ounces achieved through Dyneema Composite Fabric and carbon fiber poles. Weather protection earns solid marks, and the freestanding single-pole design is noted for fast, simple setup. Long-distance thru-hikers report using it reliably through harsh conditions on multi-thousand-mile trails. The most common complaints center on interior space: the tent is genuinely tight for two people, with sloping walls and a single door limiting livability. The ultra-thin fabric demands careful handling, as punctures from sticks or trekking poles are a real risk. Condensation buildup is also a recurring concern. The four-figure price makes it a hard sell for anyone who is not a dedicated ultralight backpacker.
