Big Agnes C Bar Backpacking Tent - 2 Person, Vetiver

Backcountry shelter with room to roam

The Big Agnes C Bar is a lightweight, two-person backpacking tent designed to balance interior space with efficient setup. In Vetiver, its restrained silhouette blends with forest and trail environments while offering practical storage options and a compact pack footprint. The trail weight is about 3 lb 11 oz, and the stuff sack folds down to 6 x 19 inches for easy carry.

Smart design for quick, predictable setup

The architecture centers on a single head-entry door and a single vestibule, with storm flaps over the zipper to shed rain. Inside, DAC Angle Hubs and an attached cross pole create a sturdy framework, while the TipLok Tent Buckle secures pole tips and helps attach the rainfly. A Quick Stash door keeper keeps the entrance tidy when the door is opened, and interior mesh pockets plus options for gear lofts help keep essentials within reach. The tent also features reflective guylines and webbing to help you find it at night. For longer life, consider a footprint sold separately to protect the floor.

In real-world use, two campers gain a comfortable shelter that doesn't feel bulky. The Vetiver color blends with nature while the interior layout supports organization and access to essentials. You may appreciate the ease of setup, the dry-weather protection from a well-sealed rainfly, and the practical storage that keeps gear accessible without clutter. Of course, weather and terrain can influence performance, so pairing this shelter with proper ground preparation and a suitable footprint can help maximize its potential for your trips.

Optional gear lofts and Big Agnes lights (sold separately) can enhance interior visibility, turning the C Bar into a well-rounded backcountry home base.
