Big Agnes started over 20 years ago with the goal to build better gear to get people out camping. It was a simple idea rooted in providing comfort to brave souls sleeping in the backcountry and keeping them on their sleeping pad. Who could have imagined two decades later they would be making award-winning gear, changing the sustainability game with solution-dyed tent fabrics, and helping you haul all that gear in backpacks?
The demand to enjoy, protect, and preserve the outdoors has only grown stronger. Big Agnes continues outfitting and inspiring all people with the gear they need to camp in comfort, explore public lands, and have fun. Like you, they are more motivated than ever to get out on the trails and set up camp, again and again.
Based in a ski town in northwestern Colorado, Big Agnes' backyard is an outdoor paradise, and their testing grounds are within sight of their office. The Continental Divide Trail is home to some of their favorite trails for skiing, hiking, and mountain biking; the Mount Zirkel Wilderness beckons us with its high alpine summits. The Yampa River flows a stone’s throw from the office; and on most lunch hours the office is quiet enough to hear a pin drop while everyone is out finding fresh air or fresh tracks of one kind or another.
