Camping tents are an essential piece of outdoor gear for hikers and campers alike. Whether it will be used for overnight hiking trips or longer camping trips, the Big Agnes Emerald Mountain Superlight 2 is one of the most versatile camping tents. Big Agnes is a well-known and established company that manufactures some of the best outdoor gear. The Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL 2 is a testament to the success and quality that Big Agnes has been known for.

The specifications of Big Agnes Emerald Mountain Superlight 2 make for a good mix of portability, space, and comfort. With a trail and packed weight of a little over four pounds and a fast fly weight of just over three pounds, the Emerald Mountain SL2 offers portability with its light weight. When packed, the tent can be carried in an 8” by 20” bag. The floor area covered by this tent is 29 square feet, with a vestibule area of 22 square feet and a head height of 42 inches. This means that the Emerald Mountain SL2 can comfortably fit two people. The design features two doors, two overhead vents, three poles and a cantilevered style.

These camping tents are three-season backpacking tents that are super light in weight. The fly and floor are made of silicone-treated, nylon rip-stop material with waterproof coating. Nylon and polyester mesh are used to offer ventilation, without sacrificing protection. With the optional add-ons, such as a vestibule, Big Agnes provides enough customization for campers and hikers to set up shelter for cooking, animals, gear, or even another camper. The design offers quick and easy setup, with easy-to-use pole clips and a double-hubbed pole. With all of these features packed into a convenient and lightweight camping tent solution, it is no surprise why the Big Agnes Emerald Mountain Superlight 2 has won an award for one of the best pieces of outdoor gear in 2007.
