String Ridge VST 2.5
A three season, trekking pole supported, premium ultralight tent. Set your FKT with VST. Big Agnes VST tents are inspired by you, combining innovative materials with user-first design to create the ideal ultralight shelter. Engineered to provide maximum usable space for you and your gear, these tents are ultralight, durable, and reliable. Hyperbead™ fabric with Hybrid Single/Double Wall construction and an integrated ventilation system promotes airflow while reducing condensation. Cut weight - without cutting corners - with the VST series. The String Ridge VST gives you the best of both worlds: weight stats you can only get with a trekking pole shelter, combined with a stable, reliable design. Extra .5 sizing creates dedicated protected space for your gear, or a four legged friend. Innovative, externally supported asymmetrical architecture makes for a spacious shelter with plenty of room to lay out your gear and get ready for the next day's adventure.
