Redefining Ultralight

Our proprietary HyperBead™ waterproofing technology is the latest in a long line of Big Agnes technological innovations designed to maximize backcountry efficiency.

Waterproof By Design

HyperBead™ fabric technology is inherently waterproof at a molecular level, without relying on added DWR Treatments or coatings.

Ultimate Durability

HyperBead™ provides water repellency that doesn't wear off over time, so no need to re-waterproof your tent!

Stretch Resistant

Improved dimensional stability means less fabric stretching, even when wet.

Environmentally Safe

Superior water resistance, without intentionally added PFAS chemicals or other harmful waterproofing methods.
