Big Agnes Sugarloaf Camp Shelter

The Big Agnes Sugarloaf Camp Shelter is a free standing group shelter that shades you from the sun, bugs, and other backcountry elements. 

Big Agnes says:

The Sugarloaf is the answer to the campsite conundrum of wanting to eat, drink, and be merry outside without swatting flies off your hot dog with every bite. Designed to be pitched over a picnic table or wherever you decide to set up your table, chairs, or kitchen prep. Two zippered entrances give you the option of keeping the doors wide open, while the mesh keeps that cool mountain breeze on your face. Enjoy a bug free, shaded shelter protected from the elements with room to hang out and store your gear.

The Big Agnes Sugarloaf Camp Shelter is a very versatile shelter that can be used in a number of ways, dependent on the weather of course. If the sun’s blazing above, pitch just the screen house to create a shady, bug-free zone to play cards. If clouds roll in, add the fly to create a dry oasis for eating lunch. Or just use the fly solo if you want to keeps things covered but simple.
