That is the one thing I like about my kelty late start 2 tent. The bag has the shark mouth opening to just stuff everything in. I can put everything in there... tent, footprint, poles, stakes, and pillow in. I would LOVE to get the diamond park series sleep system tho.
I can't stand mummy bags either. I use a down quilt and insulated pad, same theory as your system. I like the room and versatility of not being stuck in a bag.
Damn man. I want all of it. I have some ok gear, but I don't think I camp enough yet to make it worthwhile. Looks like I need to get out and fail a couple times to figure out that the gear needs to be better. Thanks for being so thorough with each product.
Great looking tent. I’m using the Kelty Grand Mesa. Another great tent but it’s small. It has a vestibule but nothing like the Big Agnes’s. After watching your videos and others, I bought the same sleep system. It’s awesome. Highly recommend it
I have the sleep pad and the hotel but there's no way I'm fitting my triumph thunderbird storm under that thing 😂but that's ok because it's still an awesome tent and pad. Ithaca extra space for gear is awesome. I'll just cover my bike with normal cover.
Side note, I got 209 camps out of my first big agnes and found the way to put it away it is a stuff sack. I stuff the rain fly in and then the tent and the no even stiff the rain fly all in the bag. I believe Amanda does the same. Just my little tip, just be conscious of placing the plastic parts smartly as you stuff it. Hope that helps and again GREAT VIDEO!!!!
The bag is a bit larger than some. In the video I did not have it cinched down in the compression sack. Cinched down it can get ALOT smaller, just don’t like doing it if I don’t have to for a trip. Can damage the fill over time and it will prematurely loose some of its insulation properties. Synthetic or natural fill bags will have this happen if not cared for.
Big Agnes is quality gear. My daughter used a Big Agnes tent while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Good choice in gear and a very informative video. Thanks! I like your shirt but it looks like you will need a new wardrobe to match you new channel name.😊
Great informative video, Travis! I recently got the Diamond Park 15 and the Big Agnes Q Core Deluxe, both from Moto Camp Nerd. Love the setup with the "fitted sheet" on the bottom, encasing the pad. Will be taking these on all my summer and fall moto adventures!
Depending on pannier and luggage set up, it may help to just stuff the individual tent pieces directly in the pannier. Or it may not be easier. I know some motocampers that do this.
Oh yeah if big Agnes is a good lay are you messing with her blacktail lol real nice Travis what will the wifey say. But serious hope she comes home soon I know I said that before but mean it
I’m not crazy about the big agnes bags, while they claim the insulation on the bottom does nothing it’s not actually true. The bag will sink down into the baffles of the pad and allow the insulation on the bottom of the bag to work properly. I switched this year to Marmot bag of the same temp rating and it is much warmer. Just wish it was a bit more roomy like the big agnes bags are!
Great review and it was awesome to meet you at the touratech rally! Funny shit, I just remember hearing my name called out of nowhere to see a large human looking for me…. I thought oh shit what did I do, who did I cut off and then oh of course had to be a big bad ass bearded man… Oh thank god it’s trav lol 😂
Had I got the 0 yes. On warmer nights I would just unzip and open it up. Having the one I do, I Havnt found a night yet where I felt really cold, down into the very low 30’s even so I have no plans to get a 0
always need more gear right? I Have a BA tiger wall UL 2 and I love it but don't like like that it's not free standing....may get the blacktail 2 hotel in the future
Love the tent. Still need to get the foot for it, and I don’t always use the fly, but it has served me well and held up to my at times caveman packing style.
Sometimes the Big Agnes’s sleeping bags and pads don’t work. I got a sleeping bag that was supposed to fit a 30” pad and it doesn’t, despite what it says. Not great.
Hey man how did the 72 long fit with the pad sleeve? I have that same pad but the big agnes site says the pad sleeve requires a 78" pad. Have you had any issues with that?

The amount of people that sleep with Big Agnes, she sure gets around!
The roof vents on this tent are gold, we put out a lot of moisture when we exhale.
Probably going to have to go to a Giant Loop Coyote this year. Outgrowing my Mojaves and a small duffel. Needing more creature comforts in my old age!
Really like this setup. It’s on my “want” list.

Dude you're the man !! Thanks for a great review
I never have any trouble rolling my pad up and getting it back in the bag...I even have extra room for my inflatable pillow in the bag with it.
You must teach me the ways of the Agnes Jedi
Pad stowing demo at the Touratech Rally? Ha. Seriously, I just use a bigger stuff-sack if necessary.
I can't stand mummy bags either. I use a down quilt and insulated pad, same theory as your system. I like the room and versatility of not being stuck in a bag.

lol that thumbnail made me chuckle
Great video Travis, very helpful!
Thanks for the review, Travis. I was looking for a moto-camping oriented review of this stuff.
That's a quite a large tent. I think about the mattress and sleeping bag from time to time, I really like how they work together. - Frank
This is amazing content for a fellow adventure biker. Thank you!
Is Big Agnes related to Large Marge?
Distant cousin I think

I have gone to the stuff method as well. Works far better
Sleeping bag looks big when packed. Like the tent. I use a klymit static v insulated extra wide.

Man, I wish they sold that bike pack bag separately. So much better than the bag that comes with the non bike pack version.

That will come later. Have to rebuild the community first without sacrificing quality of content.

I’ve done that as well. Works well enough
i got the diamond park 30 because the 15 and 0 were both out of stock lol. I am in south Texas tho, I think ill be alright
Oh yeah if big Agnes is a good lay are you messing with her blacktail lol real nice Travis what will the wifey say. But serious hope she comes home soon I know I said that before but mean it

Hi Travis, you mentioned you wanted the diamond park 0. Would you think you would have used the 0 bag all year round? Cheers
Had I got the 0 yes. On warmer nights I would just unzip and open it up. Having the one I do, I Havnt found a night yet where I felt really cold, down into the very low 30’s even so I have no plans to get a 0
Looking at this tent wondering if it will fit in a Harley saddlebag?
Likely yes.
always need more gear right? I Have a BA tiger wall UL 2 and I love it but don't like like that it's not free standing....may get the blacktail 2 hotel in the future

Great catchy title ;)

I’ve had no issues at all
@@ExploreAdventureMoto perfect thanks. Im going with the echo park 20 for my wildland sleep system this year
Is the sleeping air pad noisy when sleeping on it
Much less than my last one. Does make some noise though
@@ExploreAdventureMoto Thanks I just dont want to get one and sound like im in a potato bag
The tent is currently $100 more at Motocamp Nerd than from Big Agnes themselves. Pretty poor pricing on their part.
😃👍👍👍😃
