Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 Backpacking Tent
THE ALL NEW 3 SEASON, FREE STANDING, ULTRALIGHT TENT
Since its launch in 2008, the award-winning Copper Spur has been Big Agnes' most popular ultralight backpacking tent. Thanks to the proprietary HyperBead™ fabric, the latest Copper Spur UL is lighter, stronger, and more waterproof than ever!
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 is your ultimate home away from home.
Available colours for the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Backpacking Tent are Green and Orange.
To prolong the life of your tent floor, we suggest investing in a Big Agnes footprint. This allows you to pitch a lightweight, Fast Fly shelter, leaving the tent body behind. The Fast Fly configuration requires the footprint, tent fly, poles, and stakes.

REVIEWS
"Seriously lightweight and the inside has a huge amount of space – and two doors!"
"The Copper Spur is a fully freestanding tent, which means it can be pitched almost anywhere. This type of design is extremely convenient, quick to set up, and can come in handy when pitching on hard ground or solid rock."
"The Copper Spur’s clips and poles are colour coordinated to make setup fast and fool proof."
"The Big Agnes Copper Hotel HV UL2 is an awesome lightweight 2-person tent for backpackers, bike packers, pet owners, and anyone else who wants extra room without the extra weight." -
WHAT WE THINK
The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 offers a great mix of lightweight design and spacious comfort. Its two-pole system and Hub design make setup quick and simple. The High Volume design creates plenty of headroom, and there's ample space inside for two people plus gear.
The weather-resistant materials, including a waterproof floor and full-coverage rainfly, provide excellent protection in windy and rainy conditions, while mesh panels and adjustable vents keep things well-ventilated.
One downside is that the Copper Spur is an inner-pitch-first design, meaning the inner tent must be pitched before you can attach the rainfly, which can be a hassle in wet or windy weather. But it's so easy to erect this often doesn't cause a major issue.
Overall, the Copper Spur HV UL2 is a spacious, reliable, and weatherproof option for anyone looking for a comfortable and easy-to-setup tent that performs well across a variety of conditions.
