Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL3 tent

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:17:44 -0700

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.

Review of Big Agnes Air Core pad. Big Agnes REM Air Core Sleeping Pad incredibly light and comfortable. The Big Agnes REM Air Core is made of a durable 70 denier nylon fabric. I-beam construction provides longitudinal rigidity and gives shape to the pad. The I-beam construction also allows air to flow freely in and out, and reduces inflation time to a quick two minutes. The Air Core pads stuff to the size of a Nalgene water bottle and weighs a mere 22oz (medium), yet provides a whopping 2.5” thick backcountry bed. When used with any Big Agnes sleeping bag, the Air Core pad can be left in the pad sleeve, deflated and stuffed with the bag right into its stuff sack.
