Founded in Colorado, Bigness is known for designing and producing high-quality, ultra-light tents and sleeping bags, and was the first in the industry to revolutionize the combination of moisture-proof mats and sleeping bags, ranking first in sales among high-end tents in the United States. Bigness's ultra-lightweight tent, the Flying Creek 2, won the 2010 Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice Award for Outdoor Gear of the Year, and the Bigness Tensleep Station 6 scored 84 points in the latest "Best Outdoor Camping Tent of 2018" by the Outdoor Gear Lab, ranking second and winning the Editor's Choice Award.
Bigness is a leader in lightweight tents. On the one hand, Bigness has achieved the ultimate in the new iteration of tents: every time it is updated, Bigness's tents will always be lighter than the previous generation of products, on the other hand, Bigness has been committed to the pursuit of how to provide the largest usable area in the tent with the smallest weight, so as to improve the comfort of activities in the tent and reduce the weight of the tent when carrying. In Bigness's view, the most important thing to need outdoors is comfort, to be able to comfortably carry the tent with you, to be able to move comfortably in the tent.
Bigness's tents are generally divided into UL and SL, that is, ultra-light camping and ultra-light camping series, the latter is more extreme in the pursuit of lightweight. Bigness's most-talked-about Fly Creek and Copper Spur spurs both belong to the Extreme Light UL series. In the "2018 Best Backpack Tent" selected by the Outdoor Equipment Lab, Copper Spur HV UL2 scored 80 as a typical representative of the ultra-light double backpack tent, and was recommended by the editor, the overall weight of the tent is 1491 grams, the spacious double foyer, and has an excellent weight and space ratio, compared with the Hubba of the same level MSR, this tent has more advantages in comfort and ease of construction, but is limited by the weak tear resistance and protection of the flysheet. It is only suitable for camping in parks or places where the environment is relatively not particularly harsh.
The Spur and Flying Creek series represent the characteristics of the entire tent family of Bigness to some extent: lightweight, portable, large space, insufficient protection and weather resistance, which is the inevitable price to pay for the pursuit of the ultimate weight and space ratio, although the impact is not very great for most outdoor activities at low altitudes, but for long-distance and remote environments, it is not recommended to buy any backpack that focuses on "light and portable".
