Big Agnes Blacktail & Blacktail Hotel Tent – Ultralight 4-Person 3-Season Backpacking Tent (2025)

Versatile, Lightweight Shelter for Backpacking and Weekend Campers

The Blacktail line from Big Agnes blends pared-down weight with dependable durability, making it a strong choice for both ultralight backpacks and car-camps. The 4-person model sits at the intersection of roomy comfort and practical packability, designed for three-season use and prepared for changing conditions on meaningfully longer trips or quick getaways with friends or family.

With a focus on smooth setup and practical usability, this tent offers two accessible entry doors and zippers engineered for quiet, reliable operation in diverse weather. The olive and green colorway not only blends with nature but helps reduce glare at dawn and dusk, while keeping your camping routine focused on the task at hand.

• PFAS-free, recycled materials with durable waterproofing provide a responsible build without compromising performance.
• TipLok Buckles offer secure, simple assembly for speedier pitches and confident stakes.
• Reflective guylines and tensioners improve visibility at night and keep lines taut in breezy conditions.

Two vestibule configurations to match your trip

Durable construction that travels well

Symmetrical, pre-bent poles help optimize headroom and ease setup. The tent uses recycled waterproof materials and a PFAS-free treatment, combined with robust tips and buckle systems to withstand routine camping use and weekend adventures alike.

Enhanced ventilation for comfort
