Overview

Meet the Blacktail Hotel 2 Bikepacking Tent from Big Agnes, a shelter designed to roll with you on and off road.

Why bikers choose Blacktail Hotel 2

• Light enough for quick packing yet sturdy enough to handle road grime and trail dust
• Bike oriented features include a compression stuff sack and ready-to-use daisy-chain webbing
• 12-inch Shortstik Poleset is designed for compact packing on handlebars or panniers

Roomy, thoughtfully designed interior

The symmetrical pole layout increases headroom, while the fly features two vestibules for quick access and dry gear storage. A pre-bent pole structure creates generous ceiling space, and reflective guylines plus attached tensioners simplify setup in low light.

Inside, an oversized ceiling pocket and multiple interior loops help you organize gear lofts, lights, or small packs. Exterior features include elastic webbing and daisy-chain loops for helmet stowage and drying wet items, plus the option to extend vestibule floors for dry changing areas when needed.

Practical notes and gear compatibility

Durability is supported by sturdy Dirt Dagger UL stakes with patent-pending I-Beam aluminum construction. The shelter is designed to work with Big Agnes footprints sold separately to extend floor life and protect against rough terrain.
