Embodying the brand’s commitment to performance, sustainability and adventurer-first design, HyperBead represents the next step in outdoor gear innovation, elevating some of the brand’s most popular tents.
Redefining Ultralight: Lighter, Stronger and Built for Every Adventure
Since its conception, Big Agnes has been obsessed with a simple mission: design equipment that makes outdoor adventures more comfortable, accessible and sustainable. The introduction of HyperBead fabric continues this legacy of innovation, changing how campers think about comfort, performance and weight. The technology addresses core challenges faced by outdoor enthusiasts while setting a new standard for tent fabric innovation.
Breakthrough Performance Highlights:
- 25% More Waterproof: Exceeding traditional ultralight fabric performance without relying on harmful chemicals – offering permanent water repellency that doesn’t degrade over time
- 6% Lighter: Reducing weight with enhanced durability, so adventurers can focus on their journey, not their load

“We’ve spent two years sweating over every ounce and every detail of this process and technology,” said Michael Thompson, director of design and development at Big Agnes. “HyperBead is a complete reimagining of ultralight gear – a technology that performs better, weighs less and is easier on the environment. This fabric is the culmination of that vision.”
