Product Description
The Fly Creek UL 2 is a three season, free standing, ultralight backpacking tent for individuals. Slightly tapered from the head to the foot of the tent, the interior of the Fly Creek UL 2 measures 52" at its widest point and stretches a full 86" in length. With 28 sq. ft. of interior space and a trail weight of only 2 lb. 2 oz., the Fly Creek UL 2 offers ample room for solo hikers. DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles are both lightweight and durable. The single hub/pole design works in conjunction with the tent body's integrated DAC Twist Clips to make setting up the Fly Creek UL 2 fast, easy and intuitive. An eco-friendly anodizing process is used by DAC to treat the poles without the toxic chemicals traditionally used on aluminum tent poles. A mesh pocket for storage is included. Coated with waterproof polyurethane, the rip-stop nylon floor and rainfly are lightweight and durable. All of the Fly Creek's UL 2's seams are tape-sealed to further protect the tent from the elements.

Color Name:Cool Gray/Gold| Size Name:2 Person|Amazon Verified Purchase
Recently took this tent on a 30 mile backpack from Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley. It is easy to put up and well built. It's greatest advantage is it's lightweight at 2.2 pounds. Also like the clip design for attaching the fly to the tent and groundcloth. Yes it is expensive but where pounds count it comes through with flying colors. Only drawback is the internal stash hammock does not come with it and is a special order. Planning to take it on the John Muir Trail next month.

I purchased my BA Fly Creek II from HumbleOutdoors for about $270, it came with a free BA footprint.
This tent comes in at just over 2 lbs , making the Fly Creek II an ultralight dream tent. The tent pitches fast, and hods up in fairly strong gusts on Maine coast islands(I kayak camp). I just finished my second season with this tent and it still feels and looks new.

Color Name:Cool Gray/Gold|Size Name:2 Person
I took this tent on a backpacking trip in the Perigawasset Wilderness in the White Mountains of new Hampshire.
It is light (40 oz plus 4 for the footprint) and very easy to setup.
Big Agnes does not send any instructional booklet with the tent - though instructions are printed on the tent stuff sack lid. Instructions are also available for down load from the web site.
All you do is put the footprint down, then lay the tent on the footprint - front has two grommets on straps, the back only one. Then you take out the tent poles, assemble them by gently pulling ends out, the shock cord pulls them back - assemble the hub (three poles now stick out of it). Put one end of the shorter pole in the front left grommet of both footprint and tent, the other short pole in the right grommet. Then all you do is bend down the long section to fit into the grommet at the back. Now, you lift the tent roof and clip it into 4 clips on the pole set. The fly is now put on top and clipped to the tent (to help pull it out) if you stake it. The vestibule has to be staked out if you want to use it, the other sides mainly in inclement weather.
The tent appears flimsy - after all they are trying to save weight but has no marks and shows no wear after a week of backpacking.
It is very roomy for one person, would be a bit snug for two - that is where staking out the fly would help. I did not fully stake out the fly - just the vestibule and the corners. I lucked out in the weather department - so can not attest to waterproof, or lack thereof.

This tent is very easy to set up and is extremely light so I'm pleased. It seems to be very well made when I set it up, the poles are really serious, the stakes are not those... Read more
