A state-of-the art Tiger Wall UL 2 tent from Big Agnes.,(pictured at top) The Tiger Wall UL tents are one of the  lightest two door/two vestibule, technical backcountry shelters yet. The two doors make tent life a little easier, and the weight savings is especially nice when out for multi-day trip and gram counting. Combining simple, yet strong single pole architecture with DAC Featherlite materials, interior storage pockets, and comforts around every corner, these tents are poised to be a backcountry favorite. Value: $400.
