The uses of high quality materials throughout make the Scout UL durable enough to withstand frequent usage. The body of the tent is made from silicone treated nylon rip-stop with a 1200 mm polyurethane coating which is water resistant. The exterior seams are taped with waterproof polyurethane tape and there are storm flaps to provide further protection against the elements.

Additionally, the polyester mesh vents which line the entire perimeter of the tent are durable and provide a good level of air circulation from all angles.

The large front single door provides easy entry and exit in and out of the tent. Ample interior storage is provided for two campers with the inclusion of two built-in storage bins which are easily accessible in the tent head.

For extra floor protection, the tent is compatible with the optional Scout UL 2 Footprint from Big Agnes. Additionally, an optional gear loft is available to add further interior storage.

This tent was awarded with an Editor’s Choice 2013 Award from Backpacker Magazine.

Cons: 

Two trekking poles are required to setup the tent, which are not included.

Guarantee: 1-year warranty.
