The Beginning
Big Agnes began in 2001 from an idea sketched on the back of a napkin to keep campers from rolling off their sleeping pad at night. This inspired the sleeping bag pad sleeve. This idea has stayed with Big Agnes for 25 years and counting evolving into our current PadLock system sleeping bags.
From that first sleeping bag innovation, we’ve expanded into various camping categories to bring maximum comfort to every camping experience – from months long thru hikes to weekend explorations. In 2008, we released the first editions of the fan-favorite, best-selling Copper Spur.
From our very beginning, you have been our #1 inspiration. Whether a dirt bag climber, crusty thru hiker, first-timer, or seasoned outdoor veteran, every one of you spurs our passion to create high quality and sustainable outdoor gear and to protect our wild spaces and public lands.
EST. 2001 Limited-Edition Collection
To celebrate this milestone, we’re releasing a limited-edition product line consisting of some of our favorite pieces of gear like the Rapide SL Sleeping Pad and the Big Six Camp Chair. It also features new accessories and merch including Hoodies, Camp Pendants, Water Bottles, and more.
The limited-edition prints featured on the gear is inspired by the Zirkel Wilderness. This Designated as one of the first official Wilderness Areas after the Wilderness Act was signed in 1964. Located north of Steamboat Springs, CO where Big Agnes’s home and headquarters, the Zirkel Wilderness has long been a source of natural reprieve and inspiration.
The EST. 2001 anniversary print takes inspiration from alpenglow on the Zirkel mountains through color focuses and shapes, capturing the bookend moments of a day spent outside when the sun magically turns the mountains into a light show. We hope you enjoy this print as much as we do,and feel the effects of the Zirkel Wilderness' beauty without actually being there.
The founders of Big Agnes were greatly inspired by the Zirkel Wilderness when frequenting the area on camping adventures and eventually named their business after one of the many peaks that lives there. The Zirkel Wilderness continues to be the testing ground for product innovation and durability.
With 25 years in the rear-view mirror, we are always moving forward. Whether that be gear innovation or our roles in sustainability in the outdoors. Thanks for being on this journey with us. We cannot wait to continue sharing our love for the outdoors with you for another 25 years.
