What is the Tiger Wall UL3 Tent?
The Tiger Wall UL3 is a lightweight, functional tent, best suited to three-people and three-seasons. It's perfect for adventures where you're counting the grams, whether hiking, trekking, or backpacking.
This tent also uses Big Agnes' proprietary fabric technology that is 6% lighter, 25% more waterproof, 50% stronger, and more dimensionally stable than fabrics with traditional coatings.
What is it made of?
Fly: The flysheet is constructed using recycled 15D nylon ripstop with Big Agnes' proprietary fabric technology that uses a waterproof silicone and PU coating. It provides 1500mm HH waterproof protection, ensuring it'll keep you dry and protected in wet conditions and downpours without hindering breathability.
The coating is PFAS-free to reduce environmental impact. PFAS means per- or poly-fluorinated alkyl, these are a group of industrial chemicals that cause detrimental harm to the environment. These chemicals aren't able to break down, so once they reach nature via factory water waste, they stay in the ecosystem and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFAS and PFC's are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect mammal reproduction and hormone production. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are now prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a more responsible manufacturing process.
Floor: The floor of the tent uses the same fabric as the flysheet for maximum performance and waterproof protection without the excess weight.
Footprint (sold separately): It uses a 30D recycled nylon ripstop with a waterproof PFAS-free silicone PU coating, providing extra reinforcement and weather protection when camping in wet conditions.
Inner: The inner comprises breathable 15D nylon ripstop and polyester mesh with the same proprietary technology for added water resistance where it's needed most. The mesh panelling provides optimum breathability and helps to ventilate the tent further. You can also use it without the flysheet in summer to maximise airflow and provide more exposure to the night sky.
Poles: DAC Featherlite poles are strong yet lightweight. They provide a stable frame for the Tiger Wall to survive in various weather conditions over multiple days.
All seams are taped with waterproof, solvent-free PU tape to ensure seams don't leak.
The total weight of this tent is approximately 1.13kg. If you're counting the grams, you can strip down some of the features, such as the footprint and flysheet, to reduce the weight down to 765g. Another great tip for saving weight is to divide the pack between your group so that less room is taken up in one's backpack.
What are its features?
Entry: The minimalist pole structure of the tent allows for two doors. A dry-entry door design keeps the interior of the tent dry as you enter and exit, helping to keep your home-away-from-home as cosy as possible, even in the worst conditions. Dual zip doors allow for extra ventilation and provide quick reach-through access for weather protection if you're already outside. You can easily stow the door in the quick-stash keeper to leave it open.
Space: This tent has enough space for three people or for two and a furry friend. Structured foot-end corners create more useable space between your feet and the tent wall.
Storage: A 3D bin pocket provides ample off-the-floor storage, while the ceiling and side pockets provide extra organisation for all you neat freaks. You also get multiple interior loops for attaching accessories and night lights.
Ventilation: Low vents on the vestibule doors increases airflow. Double sliders on the vestibule zips also allow you to vent from the top or bottom.
Guys, Attachments, and Pegs: The proprietary tent corner construction with a unique TipLock™ tent buckle streamlines the set-up process by combining three functions: secure pole-tip capture, rainfly attachment and tensioning, and stake-out loops. Single-pole architecture and colour-coded webbing and buckles makes this tent super easy to set up. A new 'Cross Pole Socket' featuring a proprietary, injection-moulded TPU part ensures a secure pole tip capture for added reliability. Hook and loop tabs connect the fly to the pole structure at the guyout points to provide a perfect pitch and enhance stability.
Reflective guylines and webbing on the tent corners make it easier to see at nighttime. You also get Big Agnes Dirt Dagger™ UL Stakes included with this tent for optimum pitching, ensuring your tent stays firmly on the ground, unlike Nanny McPhee.
Optional Extras: We recommend purchasing the relevant tent footprint (sold separately) for the tent you are buying. The footprint acts as a protective layer for the underside of your tent, making it better suited to camping on rugged terrain like rocks or forest floors. It also enhances weather protection if you're camping on wet ground.
The Tiger Wall UL3 also fits the Big Agnes Triangle, Trapezoid, Large Trapezoid, and Wall Gear Lofts for extra storage and organisation (also sold separately).
