Summary
I dig innovation. Always good to push the envelope. Like all lightweight tents the clips are delicate, and it does take more time to secure all the clips vs a zipper. But the size and weight is really nice. Two thumbs up.
Pros
- Lightweight
- Zipperless
Cons
- Time to secure doors
Purchased my Fishhook SL 2 from HumbleOutdoors for $360, it came with a free footprint.
I used this tent for a kayak camp tent on the coast of Maine. It's very similar to my friend's Big Agnes Copper Spur. The absence of the zipper is a very nice feature. Zippers have come a long way, but they still fail.
The Fishhook set up fast and was dry for the one day we spent indoors with a cold Maine rain. It's average size for a two-man tent, so tight for two people. Many people purchase a 3-man tent for 2people, and I pondered that.
Overall , a very nice backpacking tent.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
After several years of testing and development, zipperless Big Agnes Fishhook tents have arrived. Say goodbye to noisy zippers that wake you up in the middle of the night and take up room in your pack. Fishhook tents use simple clip and loop closures instead of traditional tent zippers to close the door and fly. These ultralight backpacking tents are super easy to pitch and feature an extra-large entry door and plenty of vestibule space for gear. Fishhook tents have already won awards thanks to their innovative design, huge floor space and near vertical walls. This series is a must have for those willing to try something new.
