That's a really good price on a good pack. Too bad I don't have $189, because I could use a good backpack to handle winter loads.

From what I could tell, those were for shorter hikers. Also, the carbon fiber poles scare me, Ima big guy and carbon fiber isnt super strong. Only had a 1 year warranty ont hem too.

Any info is appreciated.

Can anyone comment on Big Agnes tents in general?
solidude

As I understand from owners of these tents (not specifically this model) but for the most part people love them.

I have seen a few set up and they appear to be solid, well put together tents.

That is a great price on the model.

Solidude: My Big Agnes Seedhouse SL made its maiden voyage last weekend in the Rockies. Sweet tent, looks very well put together. I know its not the Sunnyside, but hopefully its representative of the quality of the company. Great customer service, too.

Thanks fellas. I bought the tent for 110 ( with footprint) From the research Ive done on the net, it retails at 288, on sale most places for 210.


I figure if I hate it, Ill have no problem getting my money back out of it.


T Mac...what kind of guarnatee does BA offer for their tents? Im a sucker for lifetime warrantys, and normally dont mind ponying up the extra cash for products that carry them.

The lack of a comma between the 'Sweet' and 'John' kinda looks odd.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. ;-)

If you notice, on this link they're only offering a M/Sky, which is what I got, only mine was $89. I suspect they realized that had a screwup, honored the price, and changed the link. I respect them standing behind their offer.

Big Agnes Sunnyside Tent
Got in in and put it up yesterday. Im overall pleased with the initial reaction I have to this tent. A little heavy at just over 5 pounds, but workable. Seems well put together, SUPER fast to erect (yes, I said erect), and roomy for a big tall guy like me and my girlfreidn to fit into.

The double doors with vestibules are very nice. Def. room for shoes and pack in each vestibule.


The real test will be when I actually camp in it...especially if it rains, but overall, Im very please with the purchase...especially at $110.
