I used the rare 4-person Fly Creek for my Wonderland Trail hike around Mount Rainier with my ten- and twelve-year-old daughters the summer before Covid. It was lightweight a did a great job. I bought the 2-person Fly Creek version for my daughter's coming of age trip in the wilderness. I am excited to have the short-pole version which will be a great asset backpacking, or bike-packing.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Great quality
- compact
Cons:
- not for the abuser of equipment
Would recommend: Yes

I’m a big fan of Big Agnes. This tent seems to be exactly what I was looking for in terms of bike packing. I set it up inside our house as it isn’t camping weather in Wisconsin yet. Both my wife and I seemed to fit well in the tent. As with most tents, a “2” person tent doesn’t allow for much room other than 2 people but that is fine with me. I was able to pack it back down to original size, for the most part, so it will be ready to go once the weather turns.
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent tent, lightweight and packs small enough to fit on my handlebars. Reasonably priced too.
It is comfortable for 1 person, might be enough for 2, but I'm not sure. Would recommend the footprint as well.

Lightweight and easy to attach to your handlebars or top tube. Short sticks are a game changer. Setup is simple and easy. Shipping was quick on my order. FYI - footprint is not included. First time shopping with CampSaver. I had to call to make an update to my order and the rep was super friendly and took care of my issue right away.
Would recommend: Yes

The tent fits perfectly on my front handlebars, narrow drop handlebars, of my gravel bike. Its super light....and the packing has webbing straps that allow me to buckle it to the handlebars and attach other items.
Took me 5 mins to set it up...super fast and easy.
Its the 2 person version, which works well but doesn't provide much additional space. Just about fits 2 Thermarest sleeping pads side by side. I'd say for 1 person its perfect..and worth the additional weight/cost to the UL1 version.
Very happy with this purchase.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Easy to Pitch
Cons:
- Not that roomy for 2 peopole==
- Cons (optional) Not that roomy for 2 people
Would recommend: Yes

I was able to keep my pack inside the tent and boots under the rainfly and still have room to toss and turn.
The small size and light weight make this a great tent for week-long trip where a bear canister is required.I don't think I could have gone a week-long trip with my other less expensive tents.
The semi-free standing design works okay where I couldn't get stake firmly into ground. The tent will "shrink" towards middle without stakes to pull the sides outwards. This is small tradeoff for following leave no trace principle when choosing campsite.
Condensation formed on the night I forgot to leave top of rainfly gate open for better airflow. This is same as other tents I have - just be mindful to not defy physical laws.
Highly recommend this tent for anyone that needs light weight and small pack size.
I use the 2 person tent for myself only. If you want to fit two people, be ready to be intimate and nimble - you have to do some acrobatics to turn around and exit the same door.Copper Creek with two doors should be more comfortable for two people, at cost of almost a pound in weight.
footprint has to be purchased separately - that's where they really make a profit.
Best Used for:
- Bikepacking
- Ultralight backpacking
Would recommend: Yes

Very easy and quick set up. Very low weight. Keeps serious rain out. Perfect size for one person with space to move around. Would recommend, really like it! Just took it out for a 4 day, 3 night trek.

Awesome shipping time, delivered quick and on time. Great on sale price, almost wholesale price. Simple setup and pack. Shortstiks are light and compact. Easy to pack on bike. I think definitely need Big Agnes Footprint as floor is sturdy but over repeated use would wear quickly.
Cons:
- No footprint, include with tent
Would recommend: Yes
