- Single-pole architecture makes setup and take-down simple and efficient
- Single-door design with vestibule featuring storm flaps on its zipper
- Side-access vestibule provides dry front entry
- Side-zipper entry of the vestibule increases covered storage space
- Oversize ceiling pocket provides great storage space
- Media pockets located above sleeping area enable clean earbud-cord routing from phones or other devices
- All-breathable body saves weight, and it provides extra privacy and protection from desert sand
- Shape-holding corner construction gives the floor plan a boxy, roomy living space
- Color-coded webbing and buckles make setup easy
- Ready to pitch with precut guylines and tensioners attached to fly
- Reflective guylines and reflective webbing

Ultra-light Simplicity
Yes , I recommend this product
I've had the Platinum Fly Creek for several years now and have re-conditioned it and re-tensioned the poles. To add carbon fibre poles would be an even better product. It's a really well designed, durable tent that weighs next to nothing. I've been in a small downpour in it, all-afternoon sleet, and lots of big Channel Islands wind and had no problem. I did have to buy better stakes, but this is a good bikepacking and backpacking option when weight is important. My one issue is the entry. It's not entirely unlike a bivy in that you are invariably slinking in feet-first, which is something I'm a bit tired of, given the options out there. But Big Agnes is just super quality all around if you ask me.
