If you’ve spent all day pedaling to your next campsite, you’ll be glad that you have the Big Agnes Blacktail Hotel 2 Bikepacking Tent along for the ride. Based on the Blacktail Hotel, this version gets the same massive vestibule that gives you plenty of room for gear storage or staying out of any storms you may encounter, which makes this a perfect basis for a bikepacking tent. The main area where this version differs is the Shortstik pole design, which breaks the tent poles down into shorter segments, which translates into a shorter package when it’s packed up, and that means it’s way easier to attach to your bike. It also gets a few extra gear storage items, like an external strap for airing your helmet out overnight. And for mid summer camping, you can save some weight and carry just the rain fly, poles, and footprint (sold separately) to get an even lighter and more compact setup. If you’ve been dreaming of the perfect bikepacking tent, you just found it.
