Let’s be real, Hilleberg vs Big Agnes

[WildBoose]

Aside from heavy snow or extreme winds…does a Hilleberg have that much of an advantage over a Big Agnes???
I know that’s a loaded question, but dollar for dollar are you going to be just as happy with the performance of a BA?

Never had a Hilleberg or seen one in person... they seem bombproof but more expensive and heavier than other brands. I have been very happy with the Big Agnes tents I have. 2017 - now Copper Spur 1P. I use it summer and fall backpack hunting. It is very light, easy to pitch, just resprayed with Scotchguard this summer and it put up with a lot of rain this fall without a drip. Brother has Tiger wall 3p he is happy with. I have also had 3P car camping - type... Manzanares? All good tents. Find them on sale and buy!

I like my Nallo 2 GT. But it's kinda heavy. Over 7lb with the footprint. So around 6 without the print.

Had some really bad winds this past week. It definitely had no issues as you'd expect.

Got it for a crazy deal on eBay. Not sure I'd pay retail for one. Honestly I hate paying retail for anything.

Not much experience with other tents. Mainly just floorless hot tents.

There's other 4 seasons that are a lot lighter. Like the Access 2. But the giant vestibule was great to yard sale the pack and organize and prep the pack for the morning. Only reason why I may keep it and ditch the foot print. It's nice having space for gear.
