Big Agnes Fly Creek 1 Person HV UL Dome Tent Review

The Fly Creek 1 HV UL has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 2, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 68 various 1 person tents we have studied. With 20 square feet of room inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you during the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one can generally make a suitable choice for campers that prefer spending heaps of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them simple to carry. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the roof. The simplest dome tent should have a square floor, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 20 square feet, the Fly Creek 1 is smaller than quite a lot of the 68 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 6% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Fly Creek 1 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Nylon rip-stop, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of attributes to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
