Description

The Fly Creek UL1 is a semi-freestanding 1-person, 3-season tent built around a single DAC Featherlite NFL aluminum pole with a unified pitch-together setup. Minimum trail weight is 754 g, with a full packaged weight of 900 g — squarely in ultralight territory for a double-wall tent with a proper bathtub floor. Fly and floor use 15-denier nylon ripstop with Big Agnes's HyperBead coating, rated to 1500 mm and PFAS-free — a step up in both waterproofing and environmental profile compared to older silicone/PU coatings, though seams are silicone-sealed rather than factory-taped, which some users treat with seam sealer before extended wet-weather trips. The 1.9 m² floor and 102 cm peak height give one person workable but not spacious room, with a single D-door and 0.5 m² vestibule for entry and gear storage. Eleven aluminum Dirt Dagger UL stakes and three interior pockets round out the package. This is a solid choice for thru-hikers and solo backpackers prioritizing low pack weight who don't need the extra floor space of a 2-person tent used solo.
