Big Agnes Blacktail 3 Hotel Bikepack Lightweight Bikepacking Tent

About the Big Agnes Blacktail 3 Hotel Bikepack

The Blacktail Hotel 3 Bikepack gives you one of Big Agnes’ longest-serving tents redesigned for two-wheeled travel.

A Shortstik pole set uses shortened segments to deliver a super-compact pack size while a toughened, weatherproof compression bag features daisy-chain webbing for easy attachment to a bike frame or pannier.

A range of pockets and attachment systems give you ample storage options for biking gear. These include elasticated webbing to secure your cycle helmet and daisy-chain loops on the rainfly to attach wet gear for drying. An interior 3D shelf lets you stash oversized gear, utilising dead space above your feet.

The freestanding dome-tunnel hybrid design is easy to pitch with room enough for three people or two looking for more comfort with minimal additional weight. It features symmetrical pole architecture with pre-bent poles to create increased headroom and a spacious interior. Two doors provide hassle-free access with a huge 28ft² front vestibule for dry storage and sheltered meal prep. A smaller 9ft² rear vestibule gives you added gear storage and quick access to smaller essentials.

The Blacktail Hotel Bikepack pitches inner first with a versatile design that lets the canopy stand alone for use in good weather – a great way to stargaze beneath the night sky. By using the additional footprint (sold separately) you can pitch the fly without the inner tent for a minimalist ‘Fast Fly’ camping experience where conditions allow – great for warm-weather trips.

The 3-season design excels in warmer weather with a breathable polyester mesh inner canopy and two fly vents for increased airflow and moisture management. All seams are taped with waterproof polyurethane tape while both flysheet and floor feature a polyester fabric with 1500mm waterproof PU coating to protect against rain.

A number of inner pockets and hang tabs help organise belongings with media pockets for clean earbud-cord routing for phones or other devices. Also included are the lighter, yet stronger Dirt Dagger UL tent stakes with I-Beam aluminium construction.

The Blacktail Hotel 3 Bikepack tent offers a robust and sturdy camping shelter with a trail-friendly weight and design underpinned by Big Agnes’ quality construction. A superb 3-season tent equally at home on wild camping trips to multiday cycle tours and trekking.
