1.5 Sizing: Room for You and Your Gear
The extra 0.5 sizing creates dedicated protected space for your backpack or dog, so you never feel cramped during stormy weather. It's the ideal fit for solo hikers comparing ultralight one-person tents that sacrifice gear storage.
Setup, Stability, and Ventilation
A single-pole DAC Featherlite design with Tiplok buckles is light, simple, and stable — easy to pitch alone. The hybrid wall design and integrated ventilation system drastically reduce moisture buildup, while ErgoZip fly zippers make entry and exit easy from any position.
What's Included with the Big Agnes Pitchpine VST 1.5
The Pitchpine VST 1.5 ships complete for trail-ready setup: tent body, fly, DAC Featherlite pole set, YKK DynaPel zipped fly, and 8 Dirt Dagger UL stakes. Everything you need to pitch comes in the box — no separate pole or stake purchase required.
Is the Pitchpine VST Freestanding?
The Big Agnes Pitchpine VST is a semi/non-freestanding design: the single-pole architecture holds structure, but guying out and staking the vestibule corners gives a fully taut pitch. Yes, you should stake it down — the included 8 Dirt Dagger UL stakes secure the tent in any terrain. On wooden tent platforms, use rocks, cord, or platform-compatible stakes in place of ground stakes.
Footprint Compatibility
The Pitchpine VST does not include a footprint in the box. A matching Big Agnes footprint is sold separately for ground protection and Fast Fly configurations.
