Big Agnes String Ridge VST 2.5

Big Agnes String Ridge VST 2.5 - Ultralight three season tent

Ultralight two-person trekking pole tent with extra packing space and smart ventilation for long treks.

The String Ridge VST 2.5 from Big Agnes is a premium ultralight three-season tent that combines the light weight of a trekking pole tent with a stable and well thought-out construction. The innovative asymmetric design with external support structure maximizes interior space and makes the tent easy to pitch.

The tent uses HyperBead™ fabric and a hybrid single/double-wall construction with integrated ventilation that improves airflow and reduces condensation. The extra 0.5 size provides dedicated space for packing or a four-legged hiking companion without affecting the sleeping area.

The construction requires three trekking poles for setup and provides a spacious shelter with room for two wide sleeping pads. Two vestibules provide ample storage space for gear and shoes.
