Big Agnes String Ridge 2 Tent – Strong mountaineering tent for two.
For those who camp out in the summer time or pleasant climates, just about and two person tent will do.

The Big Agnes String Ridge 2 Tent is a serious tent for just such a pair of hiking buddies. This is an investment that is sure to last you for years of use and abuse.
Big Agnes always does a good job at making a little room feel like a lot more than it actually is. This is always a good thing when it comes to a two person tent. The Big Agnes String Ridge 2 Tent has enough space to keep you and your hiking partner comfortable, but not on top of each other. Attach the rainfly vestibule and you’ll have extra room to keep your gear outside.
Aside for be spacious and comfortable, the Big Agnes String Ridge 2 Tent is also lightwieght and tough. The tents rainfly and floor are made up of a lightweight ripstop nylon and is also treated silicone. This silicone helps makes the materials more durable and the polyurethane makes them more waterproof.
