BIG AGNES Copper Spur HV UL3 - this 3-person tent weighs the same or less than most 2-person tents, and is incredibly spacious and roomy for its weight and packed volume - both of which are incredibly minimal. 3-person is perfect also for two people with gear inside. The additional grams are very worthwhile in comfort so you can get your gear inside at night. By splitting the weight between two campers there is nothing to carry. Copper Spur HV UL3 is the latest improved version of Big Agnes’ best selling tent. Is one of the highest quality freestanding ultralight backpacking shelter on the market. If you’re looking for a new tent, we highly recommend Copper Spur.
The Copper Spur is a fully freestanding tent, is easy and fast to set up and take down. With trail weight 1.59 kg (including stakes, guy lines, etc.) is among the lightest double-wall freestanding tents on the market. The Copper Spur is a 3-season tent, built to be comfortable in Spring, Summer and Fall. The double vestibule awnings on either side of the tent provide customized options to suit your mood. Pitch these spacious awnings when you need additional shade or just to chill zone around your tent. Use your trekking poles or accessory tent poles and stabilize with the extra guylines. The fly material is made with new proprietary ultralight nylon, double ripstop mixed denier fabric, offering extra tear strength and puncture resistance without adding weight. Proprietary corner construction of the new Copper Spur HV UL series is built around the TipLok Tent Buckle.™
To simplify your tent setup they combined three functions into one mechanism: secure pole-tip capture, rainfly attachment, and stakeout loop. New pre-bent span pole with high volume angle hub and 4-way volume hub design increases strength, stability and shedding.
The high-volume pole architecture was designed to provide maximum usable space and strength without adding weight to your pack. The Fast-fly setup is available with the footprint sold separately.
The manufacturer paid attention to detail and used the material with the highest quality. Tent belongs to the more expensive one, but it is definitely worth it.
Big Agnes says:
"Already one of our best-selling, full-featured, ultralight backpacking tents, the Copper Spur HV UL series just got better. Redesigned with new features inside and out, using proprietary materials that are lighter, stronger, and equipped with hardware that makes set-up even easier. The high volume design provides ample living space in this freestanding structure. Traditional, media, and 3D bin pockets help to organize your gear without cramping your sleep space or capacity to sit up inside. Awning-style vestibules can be customized to expand living space, great for both drizzle and sun protection. Your ultimate UL home away from home"
