Love This Series
Absolutely love the Tiger Wall series. Started doing solo trips with the Tiger Wall UL2 a few years back and was perfect for 1 person. but have been doing trips with my brother that we needed just a little more space and this is fitting the bill perfectly. love the weight, size and comfort of the 3 person, but for 2 people.
These have worked perfectly and i highly suggest them for any backpacking needs

Amazing
My partner and I have used this on multiple trips now. With the way we split gear and out load we are riding pretty light and the tent is such a luxury for us. we have not experienced any wear from heavy use and has survived big rain storms.

Excellent Construction.
Used for a trip in the mountains with temps in the lower 30's and winds pushing roughly 15mph. Held up well, easy to put together and we stayed nice and warm.

Big Space Very Lightweight
I used this tent on one trip so far. It was in the 20's at night. This tent is very quick and easy to setup. Only flaw is I somehow got a small hole n the mesh on the first trip.

Big Agnes Tiger Wall Ul3
This tent is a very nice semi-freestanding tent. The 15D is tough enough to last a full length thru-hike but light enough to want to carry it. I would recommend the UL2 over the UL3 because the Big Agnes Duo sleeping pad that fits perfectly into the 2-person tent.

Great For Bikepacking
This is a really good tent for bikepacking. I dont mind that I use a 3p for myself as I love having the extra room and the weight penalty is no big deal. Easy to stuff into two separate stuff sacks. Just remember that it is semi-freestanding so you will need to stake the tent down to get the full capacity and proper setup.

Best Tent I've Ever Owned
I took this tent out for the first time two weeks ago and absolutely loved it. We took it into deep backcountry, as part of a 45 mile hike over 4 days. We were at a high elevation with this for two of the days, well above the tree line. When you're above trees and just in exposed areas the winds, rains, snow, hail can get pretty intense. Even though we were backpacking in July, the high elevation mountains of Utah can still get snow/hail at times. One night it started raining super hard and then turned to hail. For several hours I literally laid inside my tent and kept praying that the rain and hail would not get into the tent, and that the super heavy winds wouldn't collapse it. I fell asleep praying, and thankfully woke up the next morning to see the tent still standing strong. Even though they say this is just a two season tent, this stood up to some pretty intense winds and hail/snow. It had a thin covering over much of the rainfly of snow the next morning, and inside we were bone dry. I know this is a bikepacking tent, but I love how compact it is and how it fits super nice inside my backpack, and so I'm using it for long hiking trips. I do bikepack every once in a while and so I'm glad it will double for those adventures as well. This is super worth the price. Also, this is a 3 person tent that really would fit 3 people in a decently comfortable way. I used it with just one other person but we had plenty of space and could have fit another, especially if using on a cycling trip where weight is ultra important.

Great One-person + Gear Tent!
The Good: The tent kept me dry through a rainstorm and through 6 inches of slush. Big Agnes quickly replaced the fly when I found a seam-tape defect. Roomy inside, light, fits well in my pack.
The Bad: The included stakes are really weak. I bent 6 of them just pushing them into dry ground with my hand. I replaced mine with MSR Groundhogs that are almost twice the size and they much stronger. I think the extra couple of ounces is worth the tradeoff.

Weigh Your Pros And Cons
I waited to review this tent until I had taken it out multiple times in a variety of conditions, so here it goes:
My first impression is that it is extremely packable- it compresses down so small that I can put it inside my backpacking pack, lying flat just above my sleeping bag. It's a clever pole design, and the weight is reasonable for the space it provides.
Since the tent is semi-freestanding, you have to stake out some corners. This is a mild inconvenience almost certainly designed to reduce weight from poles and attachment points, but keep this in mind if you plan to camp anywhere that would make driving stakes in difficult or impossible.
The zippers on the inside tent are not ideal- every now and then, they get hung up horribly on the fabric. I do love their “door keeper“ (I believe that's what it's called) system to just tuck the doors aside when not in use.
This tent is not the waterproof shelter I had hoped for, and we ended up having to put a poncho over top of the tent in Utah rains to keep from getting completely saturated. I don't know if this issue would be fixed with an additional spray of water repellent coating, but this is not the tent I would choose for a trip during which heavy rain is expected.
The storage compartments on the inside are excellent- enough for clothing, headlamps, books, or whatever else you need readily accessible.
The stakes are okay, if a bit flimsy. It seems some structural quality was sacrificed for the sake of weight and packability, which I'm not willing to accept in extremely windy environments.
Overall, I like this tent for its packability, interior storage, and color. Its water resistance and zippers leave something to be desired.

It's a beautifully built tent, it's a joy to assemble and it packs lots of features. Super light and easy to carry around. Did not take it on a bike packing trip yet but will be my #1 option.

Super Light-smaller Than Typical Handlebar Bag Too
Not a long-term test, but this tent is easy to set up (does require at least 9 stakes if you want to be dry) and ventilates well. The helmet storing and gear straps are a nice touch for bikepacking. This is lighter than our current 2 person backpacking tent, but it definitely needs a footprint because the tent floor is lightweight and not waterproof. Two doors and two vestibules are nice. Didn't have any trouble with zippers. Roomy for 2 adults. My wife and I and our infant fit fine but we use 20" wide sleeping pads.

Solid Tent, Would Recommend
Easy to set up. great to have two exits, bigger than expected and came with a place to set your helmet off the ground. Lightweight and very compact. Not sure about squeezing 3 people in but definitely enough for two people and a dog. Definitely a great tent for a beginner or someone more experienced.
