Our Take
The Big Agnes Tiger Wall 3 Carbon is a cutting-edge, ultralight shelter designed for the most weight-conscious backpackers who don't want to sacrifice interior space.
While its Dyneema fabric and carbon poles make it incredibly light and weather-resistant, this "space age" gear requires extra care and a footprint to protect its thin, high-performance materials from the rigors of the trail.
