Is the Big Agnes C Bar Tent Freestanding?
The C Bar uses a single hubbed pole system with DAC Angle Hubs and an attached cross pole, so it pitches quickly and holds structure with the included Dirt Dagger UL stakes. TipLok Tent Buckles capture pole tips, attach the rainfly, tension the fly, and double as stake-out loops — one buckle, four jobs.
C Bar 2 Person Tent Dimensions and Weight
- Trail weight: 3 lb. 11 oz. — light enough for multi-day carries
- Stuff sack size: just 6" x 19" for compact pack fit
- Single head-entry door plus attached vestibule for gear storage
- Oversized ceiling pocket and interior mesh pockets keep essentials organized
Materials and Weather Protection
Recycled, PFAS-Free Fabric
Durable recycled fly and floor with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish keep you dry when skies turn grey. All seams are taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape — no PVC or VOCs.
Storm-Ready Details
Vestibule zipper storm flaps, pre-cut guylines with tensioners, fly-to-pole connection tabs, reflective guylines and webbing for night visibility, and 8 included 6.75" Dirt Dagger UL stakes.
Big Agnes C Bar Setup
Single-pole architecture means one person can pitch or break down the C Bar in minutes: lay out the body, snap the hubbed pole, capture tips with TipLok buckles, attach the fly, and stake out. Quick Stash door keepers let you stow the unzipped door fast.
Big Agnes C Bar vs Tiger Wall
The Tiger Wall is Big Agnes's ultralight two-door line at a much higher price. The C Bar trades a second door for a streamlined single-entry design and a far lower price — at $94.99, it's the affordable value pick for solo or duo backpackers who prioritize weight, weather protection, and vestibule storage over dual entry.
Compatibility and Accessories
Interior loops accept Big Agnes gear lofts, accessories, and mtnGLO Tent & Camp Lights (sold separately). Add a Big Agnes footprint (sold separately) to extend floor life.
