plica Breitling Windrider Chrono Cockpit watch In the past

The companies that caught our eye most at OR are MSR and Big Agnes for their new two-pounders and crazy snow sports-inspired innovation. plica Breitling Windrider Chrono Cockpit watch In the past, Big Agnes has focused on their sleeping bag line--which weve given props to more than once in our Buyers Guide. This year, though, theyve been more tent-central. The innovation receiving the most attention is the addition of a snowboard-inspired BOA system (pictured at right) in their two- and three-person Slide Mountain Superlight Series (from $499, pictured above).

We havent quite decided whether a sagging fly is really a problem but we credit Big Agnes for their out-of-the-box thinking and were interested to see if this technology makes its way into other tents and products.Their real hero is under two pounds.

Yep. Thats probably about as heavy as my Nalgene. With the one-person Seedhouse SL1 ($250) in hand, Big Agnes did away with two of the tents hubs, shaved off unnecessary material and used the uber-light silicone-treated nylon from the Copper Replica Breitling Aeromarine Chrono Avenger Titanium watch Spur Ultralight Series (from $350) to create (drum roll, please) the one-person Fly Creek Ultralight ($300, pictured at left). This tent (with fly, mind you) weighs in at a tiny 1lb 6oz. Its their lightest tent to date, yet still roomy enough for sitting up and futzing around in.
