Big Agnes String Ridge VST 1.5 Tent
VST tents are built around real user needs, pairing innovative materials with thoughtful design to create a refined ultralight shelter. They maximise usable space for you and your gear while staying lightweight, durable, and dependable. Hyperbead™ fabric, a hybrid single/double wall build, and integrated ventilation work together to improve airflow and reduce condensation—so you can cut weight without compromise.
The String Ridge VST balances minimal weight with a stable, reliable structure. Its slightly larger footprint gives you protected space for gear—or a four-legged companion—while the externally supported asymmetrical design opens up a roomy interior with space to spread out and reset for the next day.
Features
- Featuring proprietary HyperBead™ fabric technology: The ideal balance of strength, durability, and weight. Optimized for those who don’t want to compromise on protection and weight.
- Hybrid Single/Double Wall design with integrated ventilation design drastically reduces condensation without requiring additonal setup
- Extra 0.5 sizing provides bonus room inside the tent for a backpack and/or furry friend
- Recycled, solution-dyed polyester fabric provides increased dimenstional stability compared to a traditional nylon tent fabric, making it especially ideal for semi-freestanding tents
- Trekking pole architecture with exterior support optimizes interior space and makes for easier setup
- Requires 2 trekking poles for complete setup
- ErgoZip ergonomically designed fly zippers slide easily from any position
- YKK DynaPel™ fly zippers slide more easily and are more durable than traditional water-repellant zippers, keeping you dry using sustainable materials and no intentionally added PFAS
- Comfort-first floorplan fits a 25" wide pad
- To extend the life of your tent floor we recommend using a Big Agnes footprint - sold separately
