Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 XL Backpacking Tent
THE ALL NEW 3 SEASON, FREE STANDING, ULTRALIGHT TENT FROM BIG AGNES
Since its launch in 2008, the award-winning Copper Spur has been our most popular ultralight backpacking tent. Thanks to our proprietary HyperBead™ fabric, the latest Copper Spur UL is lighter, stronger, and more waterproof than ever!
Our Copper Spur UL XL series is perfect for campers who prefer more space for themselves, gear, or four-legged friends! With an extra 6-8"" of length, 2"" of width, and 3-4"" of head height, the XL models feature even more room to spread out than the standard Copper Spur UL.
High volume, freestanding design provides ample interior room and the stability to keep you sleeping soundly through the roughest backcountry nights. Fully featured, with design aspects that make the backcountry more comfortable - like multiple gear storage pockets, an awning-style door, and generous vestibule space. When ultralight comfort is the priority, the Copper Spur UL XL is your ultimate home away from home.
Available colours for the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Backpacking Tent are Green and Orange.

WHAT WE THINK
The 2025 Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 XL tent strikes an excellent balance between ultralight design and expanded interior space, making it an ideal choice for backpackers who value comfort without the extra weight.
One of the standout features of the UL2 XL is its use of innovative HyperBead fabric. This material is 6% lighter, 25% more waterproof, and 50% stronger than traditional tent fabrics. These enhancements not only reduce the overall weight of the tent but also significantly improve its durability and weather resistance - essential for tackling a variety of conditions on the trail.
As the "XL" label suggests, this model offers more generous dimensions than the standard Copper Spur UL2. It boasts an extra 15 centimetres in length, 5 centimetres in width, and 7.5 centimetres in head height. The result is a noticeably roomier interior, perfect for taller campers and those who appreciate a bit more space for gear or movement.
Despite the increased size, the Copper Spur UL2 XL remains easy to pitch thanks to its freestanding design and innovative TipLok Tent Buckle system. This mechanism combines pole-tip capture, rainfly attachment, and stake-out loop into a single, streamlined feature, simplifying setup. Dual side-entry doors and awning-style vestibules provide flexible storage and ventilation options, further enhancing convenience.
In short, the 2025 Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 XL excels in both performance and comfort. With advanced fabric technology and expanded living space, it offers a lightweight yet roomy shelter - perfect for backpackers looking to maximise comfort without compromising on weight. -
