The Big Agnes, 3-person, SL3 tent is no heavier than many freestanding two-person tents, making it the new poster child for space-to-weight ratio and Backpacker Magazines' Editor's Choice 2007.

Emerald Mountain SL3 tents combine the benefits of our lightest free-standing tents with roomy interiors and two opposing doors and vestibules. Emerald Mountain tents use DAC Featherlite NSL poles, which feature an Eco-Friendly anodizing process that significantly reduces the use of hazardous chemicals, as well as Reverse Combi pole optimization for increased strength and weight savings.
