About the Big Agnes C-Bar 3
Constructed from polyester taffeta and a 1500mm waterproof polyurethane coating, the C Bar Free Standing Tent from Big Agnes is packed full of features.
Designed to comfortably sleep 3, this roomy yet compact tent is built for 3-season camping, trekking, and bike-packing. It features single-pole architecture and is ready to pitch with pre-cut guylines and tensioners attached to fly.
The freestanding design is easy to pitch with room enough for three people. The C Bar features a simple head-entry design, a single door and a practical vestibule featuring storm flaps on the vestibule zipper.
The 3-season design excels in most conditions. The tent body is polyester breathable and polyester mesh, and both the flysheet and floor feature a polyester fabric with 1500mm waterproof PU coating to protect against rain.
The C Bar 3-person tent offers a robust and sturdy camping shelter with a trail-friendly weight and design underpinned by Big Agnes' quality construction. A superb 3-season tent equally at home on wild camping trips to multi-day car camping and trekking.
