Big Agnes is an outdoor gear company founded in 2001 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, specializing in ultralight tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads for backpacking and camping. Named after a peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness, the company has earned a strong reputation in the backpacking community for innovative, lightweight designs that do not sacrifice durability or livability.
Big Agnes is particularly known for its integrated sleeping pad sleeve system, which keeps sleeping pads securely inside sleeping bags for a more comfortable night rest. Their tent lineup ranges from ultralight solo shelters under two pounds to spacious car camping models. The brand Copper Spur, Tiger Wall, and Fly Creek tent series are bestsellers among thru-hikers and weekend backpackers alike. Big Agnes also manufactures camp chairs, camp tables, and accessories, and maintains a strong commitment to sustainability through recycled materials and a gear repair program.
