20 YEARS IN THE DIRT

AWARD-WINNING TENTS, SLEEPING BAGS, PADS AND CAMP FURNITURE

We started Big Agnes 20 years ago with a back-of-the-napkin dream — build better gear for sleeping in the backcountry. The plan seemed simple; provide a comfortable night of sleep and people will come back for more. 

Looking forward to our next 20 years, our mission hasn’t changed, but has evolved, and we are ready to meet the challenges ahead. We’ll keep moving forward with our goal of outfitting all people with the gear needed to camp comfortably, explore the backcountry and have fun. Cheers to the next 20!
