Super expensive but not worthy

Written on Sep 06, 2023

I bought this BA Tiger Wall 2 Carbon tent about 2 years ago. Its full price was 1000 $ although I bought it on sale. I was very satisfied initially. It is very light, has two big vestibules; I liked the materials and especially that the rainfly was kinda semi-transparent. However, within a few months, when a hiking season started, I noticed tiny holes in a rainfly. I thought that maybe I was not careful enough so I bought repair patches and fixed it. No matter how careful I try to be, I kept fixing multiple little holes. Then a pocket where a shorter/ transverse pole needs to go in fell of leaving very sticky surface. I was still backpacking. I had to fold my tent but this glued parts of rainfly together . Trying to separate glued surfaces left more holes. Then, one segment on the longest poles broke in the middle of the night and sharp edges cut a significant hole in a rainfly.. I fixed it using a repair tube that comes with a tent and I had a big enough patch to fix the hole. I was on a long backpacking trip in a backcountry. 2 days later, the same pole broke at the end of the repair tube. Luckily, I had a second repair tube to fix it. A few days later, the same pole segment broke at the end of the second repair tube and I still had 3 or 4 nights to go. I used tent stakes and my last duck tape to fix it. It worked. I am back at home planing to get in touch with BA as I would like this tent to be repaired. Actually, what I would like is to get a new tent but after payin
