大天空革命 2P 帐篷

Is ist possible to use the tent without the small pole for the porch, so just with 2 poles ? So that i can choose to go on trip with 2 or 3 poles

It is possible to setup the Revolution 2P tent and use only 2 long poles and not the short 3rd Porch pole, but there would we some lose outer fabric that blow in the wind and there would not be as much headroom and sagging fabric inside since there would be no 3rd Porch pole to hold it up.

Hi. I wonder why you do not give clear info about water poles. And what they are. I saw that you already wrote 2000 in one answer but I found 1500 at a resellers webpage. Could you garantee that its at least 2000? How did you test that?

We assume you are referring to fabric we use in a Big Sky tent's outer/fly... at one time Big Sky's waterproof rating was 1,500mm, but a few years again we raised it to 2,000mm because our hydrostatic testing showed Big Sky's fabric for the past few years has been over 2,000mm. We own a hydrostatic tester and test each shipment of fabric we receive. For more info: https://bigskyinternational.com/pages/fabric-comparison-table

What is the difference (weight, folded size, material, etc...) between the bikepacking poles and the DAC UL poles?

pole options:
Ultra Light poles: lighter weight, 43cm folding length, and more expensive
Bikepacking poles: shorter 30cm folding length, a little heavier, and less expensive

Both are made of aluminum and have a similar strength

Hello Big Sky, I was wondering if the Revolution 2p can be pitched as inner only. Thanks!

If you want to pitch inner only, Evolution tent series is a better choice..

Revolution tent series is better for pitching outer only

Two question about fabric version of the *inner* tent: - is the door fully mesh all of its size or only partially? - is the inner tent door two layered, one is mesh and the other is fabric? Question of the outer tent: - if the outer tent doors are fully open, does the rain reach inner tent? My use case: in hot but unstable weather keep the outer tent doors fully open all of the time. I keep the inner tent door closed with full size mesh only (keep the bugs out and get the view). When it gets colder, cover the inner tent mesh with fabric, partially or fully, still keeping the outer tent doors open. In the even colder or stormy weather, finally close the outer tent.

Two question about fabric version of the *inner* tent:
- is the door fully mesh all of its size or only partially?
> The Mesh Netting version is entirely Mesh Netting
- is the inner tent door two layered, one is mesh and the other is fabric?
> There are two completely different inners. The Breathable Fabric version is Breathable fabric with "Mesh Netting" window in door. There is a "Breathable Fabric" fabric door that can be zippered over the "Mesh Netting" window.

Question of the outer tent:
- if the outer tent doors are fully open, does the rain reach inner tent?
> Straight down rain will not enter inner... there is a 3rd pole that create a little "Porch" over each door.

Thank you for your interest

Hello! I’m looking for a durable lightweight tent for my PCT hike attempt in 2019, and this tent looks like it will fit the bill. However, I prefer a smaller footprint for ease of finding camp spots along the trail. Do you have a one person version of this tent? If yes, what are the specs? Does it have two doors as well? Is one door an option for the one person tent? Does the purchase come with guy lines and stakes? Do you have a Cuben Fiber version of this tent? Do you have a set up video of this tent? Thank you very much for your time.

Do you have a one person version of this tent?
> Yes, Big Sky makes a Revolution 1P tent

If yes, what are the specs?
> Here is more info for the Revolution 1P tent:

Does it have two doors as well?
> Yes, the Revolution 1P has two doors
Is one door an option for the one person tent?
> No, we did at one time, but everyone prefers two doors so we stopped making one door option

Does the purchase come with guy lines and stakes?
> guy lines and stakes/pegs are optional.. you do not have to buy them unless you need them

Do you have a Cuben Fiber version of this tent?
> There will be a DCF (Cuben) fabric version the Revolution 1.5P available soon.

Do you have a set up video of this tent?
> Hopefully soon

Hello, Thank you immediately answer. So it will be helpful. I think that REVOLUTION 2P tent (BREATHABLE FABRIC INNER) fulfills the conditions I'm seeing quite well. Please tell me a bit more. ①Is BREATHABLE FABRIC INNER the same material or making CHINOOK INNER ? ②Please tell me the difference between REVOLUTION 2P tent (BREATHABLE FABRIC INNER) and CHINOOK 2P tent.; Material, performance, durability, wind resistance, etc. Best regards, ERIKO NAITO

ERIKO NAITO,
Please see > responses below:
①Is BREATHABLE FABRIC INNER the same material or making CHINOOK INNER ?
> yes, the Breathable Fabric for Big Sky's Revolution and Chinook tent series inners is the same fabric.
②Please tell me the difference between REVOLUTION 2P tent (BREATHABLE FABRIC INNER)  and CHINOOK 2P tent.; Material, performance, durability, wind resistance, etc.
> Big Sky's Revolution tent series are 3-seasons rated tents made with lighter weight 3-seasons rated poles, while the Chinook tent series are 4-seasons rated tents with stronger 4-seasons rated tent poles. Inner floor sizes are the same.
Thanks for your interest,

Hello Bigsky, can I use Revolution 2p on snow storm weather ( strong wind and heavy snowfall in Japan alps)?

Can I use Revolution 2p on snow storm weather ( strong wind and heavy snowfall in Japan alps)?

> Big Sky's Revolution 2P tent is 3-seasons rated meaning it is not rated for winter conditions with heavy snow and strong winds that may cause the vestibules to collapse and/or the poles to break..

Hi, Is this tent able to be pitched as a shelter with the fly only (no inner)?

Yes, the Revolution tent series is great for pitching outer only... 

If inner is removed you will need either a footprint or X-cords to hold the shape of the poles.

Can you tell me the fabric weight of the fly and floor and also the essential differences between this tent and the Chinook?

What is the denier on the fly? What is the denier on the bathtub floor? What is the height of the bathtub floor? Can I pitch the fly first without the inner tent attached inside and than hang the inner tent inside, once the fly is up?

- What is the denier on the fly?
> We think what you are asking is how strong is the fabric? Denier size is just one data point... we use both sides silicone coated fabric so our fabrics are 2x stronger than the same fabric that has one side PU coating... so while we use 15D fabric since is both sides silicone it is comparable to other 30D tent fabric with one side PU
- What is the denier on the bathtub floor? > same answer
- What is the height of the bathtub floor? > 15cm
- Can I pitch the fly first without the inner tent attached inside and than hang the inner tent inside, once the fly is up? > yes... if you want to do this, we suggest getting a set of X-cords that can be used to set up outer without inner

How much would a set of bike packing poles cost? I have the DAC
