String Ridge VST 2.5, by Big Agnes, is a tarp-style tent that offers you the best of both worlds: a weight comparable to that of a shelter using trekking poles, combined with a stable and reliable design.
The expanded 0.5 format creates a dedicated protected space for your gear or a four-legged companion.
Its innovative asymmetric architecture, externally supported, provides a spacious interior volume with plenty of room to organize your gear and prepare for the next day's adventure.
Its single/double wall hybrid design combined with our exclusive recycled polyester Hyperbead fabric, offers superior dimensional stability over nylon, a 4000mm waterproof rating while reducing condensation.
Reduce weight without compromising on performance with VST tents.
To extend the lifespan of your tent floor, the use of a Big Agnes footprint is recommended (sold separately).
