One of the values embedded in any Big Agnes product? Innovation. Active Junky’s been consistently impressed by the portable and practical ideas generated by the Steamboat, Colorado-based crew. Rattlesnake’s a good example, as newfangled L.E.D. lighting technology achieves reliability inside this 2-person, 3-season tent. Deploying even, arched lighting to see and do, a constellation of high-efficiency lumens turns night into productive time (without blasting your tent mates with high-powered headlamp beams). Evaluators gave the model’s design, zipper operation and venting superior marks; these high ratings were consistent with past, positive experiences with BA. This REI-exclusive’s 50% brightness level extends AAA battery life as campers relish dual doors and vestibules; the USB connection loves charging bricks and solar cells, too.
