The opinion of Aventure Nordique
Big Agnes' C Bar 3 is made from technical materials at an affordable price. Weighing in at 2.21 kg, it features a waterproof rain fly, a bathtub-shaped floor and an apse to keep your gear dry.
This is a 3-person tent with a single front entrance door, an apse, a large ceiling pocket and three mesh pockets for stowing items.
The C Bar 3 offers good habitability. The hoop structure with DAC hubs optimizes interior space with vertical walls. This means the tent can be set up quickly.
Inside, the inner chamber features mesh panels that offer several advantages:
- Lighter overall tent weight
- Improves air circulation and reduces condensation.
In terms of materials and finish, this tent is designed for 3-season use, in a “bivouac on a hike” or overnight camping configuration. The tent can be set up in “Fast and Light” tarp mode, for lighter travel: just set up the fly with the footprit (additional ground sheet sold separately).
