MORE ABOUT THE BRAND
Big Agnes is an innovative American outdoor gear brand born in 2001 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, when founder Bill Gamber set out to solve a common problem: uncomfortable nights in the backcountry. His breakthrough idea — a sleeping bag with an integrated sleeping pad sleeve for stability and insulation — launched a company that would reshape outdoor sleeping systems.
From those beginnings, Big Agnes has grown into a leader in camping gear, offering more than 750 products today, including award‑winning ultralight tents, sleeping bags, pads, and backpacks developed with a focus on comfort, performance, and sustainability.
Over the years the brand has earned multiple Backpacker Magazine Editor’s Choice Awards and continually innovates with advanced materials — like solution‑dyed tent fabrics and recycled insulation — while maintaining its roots in real backcountry experience and practical design
