BG TOP PICK - – For Rugged, All-Weather Adventures: With durable fabrics, excellent ventilation, and reliable weather protection, the Big Agnes Krumholtz 2 is a standout shelter for wet, windy conditions where comfort and resilience take precedence over weight savings.
Big Agnes says:
In many ways, the Krumholtz feels like a more rugged, weather-focused sibling of the Copper Spur. Designed with the wetter, windier conditions of Northern Europe in mind, it’s built to handle high rainfall and tougher ground without compromising comfort. And if you’re looking for a footprint, the Copper Spur footprint fits it perfectly—a handy bonus if you already own one.
At 1.67kg (excluding pegs), it’s not aimed at ultralight purists, but I’ve found the balance between weight, space, and robustness spot on for multi-day trips in unpredictable conditions. The 70D nylon floor, with its 5000mm waterproof coating, feels tough and confidence-inspiring—perfect if you’re sharing with a dog or letting the kids take charge for the night without the worry that comes with more delicate ultralight fabrics.
Thanks to the raised fly, roof vent, and mesh inner, ventilation is excellent, even in damp climates. The generous headroom and thoughtful storage, like the oversized 3D pocket at the foot and multiple internal loops, make it a genuinely liveable space. Designed with the wetter, windier conditions of Northern Europe in mind, it’s a tent built to handle high rainfall and tougher ground without compromising comfort.
A well-rounded, durable tent offering reliable protection and comfort for those venturing into wetter, more rugged landscapes.
