The Big Agnes Blacktail 2 Tent is a versatile and comfortable shelter that is perfect for both backcountry backpacking and front country camping. Its lightweight yet strong construction means that it is easy to carry, while its spacious sleeping areas, two side-entry doors, and vestibules make it a great choice for three people.
Dual Zipper Door
One of the standout features of the Blacktail 2 Tent is its dual-zipper door, which has a smooth closing mechanism and a discrete seam design that gives the tent a clean and modern aesthetic. The dual-zipper design also allows for easy entry and quick reach-through access. The quick stash doorkeeper on the tent body door makes it easy to stow an unzipped door, while the media pockets allow for clean earbud cord routing from phones or other devices.
Poles and Setup
The tent also has a symmetrical pole structure with pre-bent poles, which increases headspace and makes the tent more spacious and comfortable. Two fly vents increase airflow and reduce condensation, and the low vent feature on the vestibule doors allows for even more airflow while still providing vestibule coverage. The tent is also easy to pitch, with pre-cut guylines and tensioners attached to the fly, and reflective guy lines and webbing on the corners, making it more visible in low-light conditions.
The tent has multiple interior loops for attaching gear lofts, accessories, and mtnGLO Tent & Camp Lights. The fast fly setup allows you to pitch the tent using only the vestibule, poles, and footprint. To extend the life of the tent floor, it is recommended to use a Big Agnes footprint, which is sold here.
