Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2 Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Tiger Wall UL2 is Big Agnes' ultralight freestanding two-person shelter built with Dyneema composite and silicone-treated nylon. The semi-freestanding design uses just two stakes for a taut pitch, and the dual doors with vestibules give both occupants easy entry without crawling over each other.
