Lightweight C Bar 2 Tent offers dependable protection and space for backcountry nights
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I used the C Bar 2 on a three-day trip in the Uintas and was stoked on how simple it was to set up solo after a long day on trail. It’s light enough to carry, sturdy when the weather shifted, and way roomier than I expected for the weight."
We don’t like choosing between budget and performance—and with the Big Agnes C Bar 2, we don’t have to. This lightweight backpacking tent is our go-to for quick overnights and multi-day missions, striking the perfect balance of durability, packability, and comfort. With a simple single-door design, integrated vestibule, and intuitive pole system, it’s everything we need and nothing we don’t.
Inside, the C Bar 2 offers plenty of livable space for two thanks to a cross pole that increases headroom, plus mesh panels to keep the air flowing. The included guylines, reflective accents, and durable recycled materials help it hold up when wind, rain, or rough ground are in the mix. And at just over 4 pounds total weight, we never hesitate to pack it, whether we’re chasing alpine lakes or setting up camp under the stars.
