PatrickS's Review of Big Agnes Fly Creek 2 Platinum Tent - 2 Person, 3 Season

I love this tent! When you first hold it, you are pretty shocked at how light it feels. Here are my pros and cons after backpacking with it for a week:

Pros:
- Ultra light weight (duh): My previous tent weighted twice as much, so I could definitely feel the difference in my pack.
- Well built: Yes, the materials are thin, but it doesn't feel cheap or fragile. If you tend to take good care of your equipment (as I do), then this thing will last you many years.
- Easy to setup: Sure, you have to stake out the corners to setup it up correctly, but it's not a big deal and extremely easy to do.

Cons:
- Zippers could have been better: The zippers smaller than some of their competitors' tents thus they are a little tougher to open/close.
- Guying out the rain fly is a must: Unless you guy out the fly, you lose internal space.
- Space: It's not cramped, but by no means is it roomy.

If you can afford it and want THE lightest 2-man tent out there, you will not be disappointed.
