Bought this for a trip to Europe. Have not used it yet but folds small and stitching and construction looks well done.

I ca n't ask anything more from a rain cover, especially in regard to the fit. For reference, I have an Osprey Aether 70 in a medium and this pack cover in a large. I 've used this cover occasionally over the course of a few seasons and it has held up in both pouring rain and brambles. If you 're looking for a lightweight, quality, and feature- rich pack cover then this is the one for you.

It unpacks and packs very easily. The rain cover I got looks more dark green. It has yellow trim, and the handle on the attached stuff sack is yellow. You put the cover on, slide the waist belt through elastic loops that tighten the cover, clip the strap around the bag, and you 're all set. It looks a bit big, but it is made to fit a smaller as well as bigger bag.

Bought it last month and used it a couple of times. Has n't rained yet but it was great blocking the wind and it was quick enough to set it up that I pulled it out just to provide some shade for the kids at a BBQ.

I purchased this as a gift for my son in law. When he saw it, he was one happy camper! He and his entire family( wife& 2 teens) camp with hammocks now rather than bulky tents and sleep better.

The perfect compliment to the ENO Double Nest hammock. Only weighs around 20 ounces but ENO also makes a silicon impregnated ultra light ProFly Sil for the ounce counters. ENO for life!

[ i have bought this rainfly so my Husky siberian could stay with us during the camping season and it exceeded my expectations! Its well tough of perfect fit this new model has better door configuration then the previous and also seems bigger. i just came back from 9 days in BC and the rainfly was put to the test rain- dust- wind and humidity no problem. we put a carpet in the extension to enjoy the extra place and used it as storage area when we were out on the trails to keep our chairs and wood dry. Could not ask for more makes me wan na go camping all the time

I have been using this with my Copper Spur UL3 and it works great. It's a great addition to my lightweight collection. The included instructions are a little tricky to follow, and there were no great setup videos online. Practice setting up in the light before bringing it camping. Great is you have dogs and do n't want them messing up the inside of your tent.

[ This rain fly is great for camping with out pup and having a sheltered place to store our gear away from the potential elements while in the back country.# sweepstakes

[ I have old other brand's inter tent but the fly is broken. So, I decieded to purchase a fly instead of broken's one. I see this can meet fulfill my requirement. It's perfect match with my old inter tent and the vestiblue can place equipment to prevent stolen by `` camping thief ''. Highly recommend this product!( I will upload photo later)

While a bit heavier than just the standard rainfly( which completely makes sense) it is not much heavier. This is great for trips where you expect more rain and/or plan to have a base camp. I really like that it is a full rainfly and large vestibule and not just an add on to the existing fly.

I wanted to have a rainfly that allowed me to keep my gear outside of the tent but protected it from the elements and this rainfly did the trick. I have used my copper spur hv ul 2 with hotel rainfly backpacking so many times and I have never been disappointed. I even used it on a 12 day backpacking venture through Philmont and it was awesome.

That Slackline Girl
Such a good addition. Disclaimer: I 'm a biased BA fan. The sleeping bags, pads and tents I 've had from Big Agnes have been phenomenal, and as far as I 'm concerned you 'll be happy with any purchase. That being said, this addition is perfect if you have big backpacks you need to be weather safe under a fly, and if you want to wake up and stick your feet out of your tent and get your shoes on without getting wet, if you like leaving your shoes outside or a box of food or an instrument but do n't want morning dew or rain on it, and if you travel in pairs it sure is nice to have the space to move in and out without feeling cramped. As someone who likes the small, lightweight and practicality of the Copper Spur, I think the Copper Hotel is a great addition to have more space without needing a bulkier tent.

This was a great addition to my tent. Just enough extra room to stow gear during bad weather. It adds a bit of weight but is worth it

[ This can be used for so many different things! I bought one after using my friend ’s as a sun shade on a beach outing, and now I ’ ve used it as a tarp for sleeping in my hammock and as a poor- man ’s bimini on my sailboat( draped over the boom to create shade). It can do anything! Super strong seams and stitching, no concern using it in a little bit of wind.

[ I just purchased this in the 9x9. Have used the 12x12 and the 16x16 for a number of years. They ’ ve changed the color a couple of time but features are unchanged in the time I ’ ve been using them. Square shape is only way to go. Kudos for configuring this way. So many tarps are rectangular. For a haystack, sure. Fine. For a shelter, the square has far more setup options. There ’s heavy tieouts on the four corners and lighter ones along the edges. Well spaced. A little stretch to keep it taught.. important in rain. I don ’ t know if they market this as a rain shelter but that ’s all I use it for. The big one if camping next to a car, the 12x12 for rafting. This 9x9 for backpacking. Two lbs may seem like quit a bit to pack for a tarp but covered area is pretty great. And large enough to configure in some version of a ‘ storm ’ mode if conditions warrant. I have a HMG DCF tarp. It ’s 8. 5x8. 5 with no stretch. Definitely harder to get a taught pitch. It ’s light as a feather but that extra half foot per side is more than it sounds on this Kelly. 12% more covered area even though only 6% more length.. ya know if you get all STEM about it... I won ’ t go into costs per square foot between the two and it ’s not even really a fair comparison given the different materials used but if your not into packing a piece of square fabric that costs as much as a pair of skis, this is one of the best values out there right now.

[ The 9 ’ tarp is still pretty big and a great size for a standard camp site or small group. Lots of points for attaching clips and guy lines. Fairly light but not super light. Comes with its own carrying bag that it fits into easily.

I am an Outdoor Instructor and an avid thru hiker and I use gear like this for both work and pleasure. I am particularly impressed with how spacious this tent is for its weight. It comfortably sleeps two people without feeling too cramped. I am also a huge fan of the dual door design with two vestibules for gear storage, which are particularly useful in the rain. I also love the hook attachments for attaching the fly to the tent body! They are super easy to use and reduce the fly stretching, helping it to maintain its waterproof ability. The Strato UL 2 is perfect for camping and backpacking and will likely be the tent I take with me on my next thru hike. I definitely recommend this tent!

I ’ m a yoga instructor, trail guide, community scientist, and environmental educator based in Northern California. I need my gear to hike, camp, backpack, and practice yoga in northern California. I used it for a short overnight backpacking trip along the coast. The Strato UL2 tent is a ultra lightweight two person tent that weighs in at only 2 lbs 6. 7 oz. It can fit two, but you ’ ll be up against the walls. Very nice weight to space ratio, though, with thoughtful touches to reduce weight yet still provide comfort. It has clever placement of an overhead mesh pocket and two mesh pockets behind the head for easy storage. Double doors can come in handy for 2p( no crawling over another person to get out) as well as additional gear storage outside of the tent so you ’ re not cramped up. Doors have a top and bottom zipper, which I find preferable because it reduces the chance of it snagging. I also like that the waterproof fly is undyed and free of flame retardant chemicals. Due to the lightweight nature of this tent, I definitely recommend the footprint for a solid foundational layer. The Strato UL2 is a perfect tent for backpacking, and I look forward to using it on longer trips this summer.

I am the author of the Falcon Guide to Vanlife and Hiking Wyoming, so I spend a majority of my time hiking trails, backpacking, and living outside. My gear needs to be tough, multi- use, lightweight, and hopefully not take up too much space( to stay in the van). I travel mostly around Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. The Strato UL 2 Tent gets 5 out of 5 stars from me. I can ’ t believe how light weight it is vs how much shelter/space you actually get. The two doors is wonderful to have on such a lightweight tent and helps to make it a true two person tent. The two doors mean you ’ re not waking up your buddy or partner on the way to pee in the middle of the night. It also allowed space to make one side a “ gear garage ” and the other a more functional door. I also liked to amount of space I had at my feet. My pup appreciated it too:) There is a serious amount of “ living space ” in this tent. I wouldn ’ t even mind being stuck in the rain for a while cozy and bunkered down. I especially appreciated the solid lower canopy to keep dust, wind, and rain out. It also felt durable and even though I ’ ve used this a handful of times already, it ’s showing no signs of wear. My favorite part of this tent is how small it packs down to. Smaller than a loaf of heritage bread? Two nalgenes side by side? It ’s SMALL. And when my partner and I share weight, the sleeping bags are FAR bigger than what this tent packs down to. Nose goes for who gets the bags:) This product is ideal for lightweight backpackers in non- extreme conditions( think heavy snow).

I 've been camping and backpacking since the mid 80s and have used countless different tents of various, quality, materials, and sizes. This tent blows them all away. I was ready to pull the trigger on a Big Agnes Tiger Wall, when I found this. It has more space for essentially the same weight. There are a ton of little things that make this tent great and set it apart from others tents( that really are n't in the same class besides shape and capacity) besides space and weight. The details like how the poles attach, zipper pulls, sil nylon with no PU coating, and two way door zippers, set this apart as well. The materials are just the right denier too. It's light yet still fully featured with pockets in the right places, and innovative fly vents in the vestibule doors. Love love love this tent!

It's light yet still fully featured with pockets in the right places, and innovative fly vents in the vestibule doors. I am 6' 3 '' and it is so hard to find a tent that fits tall people really well. This tent does that too. Because of the the way the pole is bent at the foot end you get a nice vertical wall where your feet are( and the wall at the head is nearly vertical too). I 'd say it fits someone up to 6' 5, if they do n't mind having their head and feet touch the ends just a lil. It's also wide enough for two wide( 25 '') sleeping pads, so there's plenty of elbow room too. Love love love this tent!
A lightweight rain fly is a protective covering designed to shield tents and camping gear from rain and moisture. It is essential for outdoor activities as it helps keep your gear dry, ensuring comfort and safety during unpredictable weather. Additionally, its lightweight design makes it easy to carry, making it a popular choice for backpackers and campers.
Lightweight rain flies are typically made from durable, water-resistant materials such as nylon or polyester. These fabrics often feature coatings like silicone or polyurethane to enhance waterproofing and durability. The choice of material impacts the rain fly's weight, packability, and overall performance in wet conditions.
Choosing the right size lightweight rain fly depends on the dimensions of your tent or the area you want to cover. It's important to select a rain fly that provides adequate coverage while remaining lightweight for easy transport. Consider the number of people using the tent and any additional gear that needs protection from the elements.
Yes, a lightweight rain fly can be used in various weather conditions, including light rain and wind. However, its effectiveness may vary based on the intensity of the weather and the specific design features of the rain fly. For heavy rain or severe weather, it's advisable to check the rain fly's specifications to ensure it meets your needs.
A lightweight rain fly offers several benefits compared to a traditional tent, including reduced weight and increased packability, making it ideal for backpacking. It can also provide a more versatile shelter option, allowing for setups that can adapt to different environments. Additionally, it often allows for better ventilation and less condensation compared to fully enclosed tents.
