Big Agnes Copper Spur HighVolume Ultralight Backpacking and Camping Tent

Haven’t taken the tent out yet so this is only half of a review. Will update after I hit the trail. I can say setup is easy and the tent is super light. I doubled my interior space while taking a pound off my dry weight. The material seems very thin but only time will tell. In order to tie the tent down for severe weather you need more stakes than the company provides. Not a game changer but if you plan on really severe weather you will need 12 not 8. The dual vestibules are a really nice touch. Given im a single camper my gear will be in the tent with me but to shelter wood, chairs etc at night will be very welcome. The conversion of a vestibule wall to a rain roof using trekking poles sounds better than it is. Having the “roof” to cook during the rain is a nice touch but if you have any wind the roof will be useless and the rain will likely get in your tent. (Used a sprinkler test and gusts of wind blew the water right into the tent wall). With the vestibule down, the tent was perfectly dry and shed the water without any problem. I’m really excited about this tent and have found no problems in back yard testing. I will update after my next trip which will be a winter camp. UPDATE- everything I wanted and then some! What a great tent. Fits perfectly in the long side-pocket of my GG mariposa. Made it through a really bad storm no issues. Set up easy peasy in the field. Lots of interior room at the same weight of most one man tents. Freestanding for my next trip into the high Sierras. Get this tent! Update #2. New info worth mentioning!! Sitting in camp in the great sand dunes nat park. Got a weather alert over the ZOLEO. 60-70 mph dust storm on the way!!!! Handled it like a champ. The wind speeds in our sheltered area were probably around 30-40 max but it keept about 90% of the sand out and stood up to hard winds for 3 days straight. Excellent product that continues to impress!!

This is now my new go-to tent, excluding expeditions. It's very lightweight, easy to pack, and spacious. I especially love its pockets and design. Thanks to the great pockets, I can easily find my belongings. Getting in/out of the tent, setting it up, and packing it away is very easy. The ventilation is excellent. The zippers work smoothly. The entrance area is also spacious and functional. I haven't yet had the chance to test it in heavy rain or wind. I will update my review after that kind of use. I chose the orange color for better visibility, and I'm happy with that too.

Fully freestanding is what makes this tent so awesome. Two large vestibules, side entry, great headroom, and good quality materials are icing on the cake. The sides are held taut and flat to the ground; no flapping, sagging, or floor/side wrinkles like the BA Fly Creek. It’s basically a miniature car camping dome tent. I’ve backpacked with tarps, tarp tents, single wall tents, and double wall semi-freestanding tents, and none compare to the easy set up and protection offered by the Copper Spur. It is worth carrying the extra weight for the headroom alone and to never again set up a semi-freestanding tent short a corner stake because of rocks. I would rather have not had the “awning” feature, it is more trouble than it is worth. The tent in its bag is a little large and takes up valuable space, so I carry the poles and stakes on the outside of my pack and the tent inside. I love this tent.

The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL is hands down one of the best ultralight tents on the market! It strikes the perfect balance between weight, space, and durability. As a backpacker, I appreciate how light it is (just over 3 lbs for the 2-person model), making it easy to carry on long treks without sacrificing comfort. The interior space is surprisingly roomy, thanks to the high-volume design that maximizes headroom and livability. Setup is a breeze, and the tent holds up incredibly well in various weather conditions, from windy mountain trails to rainy nights. I also love the large dual doors and vestibules, which provide plenty of storage space for gear. The reflective guylines and the multiple interior pockets are thoughtful touches. It's a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and performance make it well worth the investment. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight, reliable tent for backcountry adventures!

** first things first, do not purchase this from the seller I did, The Watch Locker, the tent I received had been used and had holes in the rain fly and bags. It was also missing most of the stakes. I was able to patch the tent with Tenacious Tape, but when i pay for a brand new item i shouldn't have to do that ** I've been backpacking for over 30 years, I've owned several tents, some old school, some ultralight and so far this one is my favorite, especially as a family tent. Set up is wonderfully simple, the poles are connected to a central disk and connects to the tent in a very intuitive way. The rain fly has its own pole but also connects simply. In this 5 person tent we fit 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 60lb dogs and were comfortable, it's absolutely palatial! On this tent's maiden voyage we went to a location about 11,000 ft above sea level and experienced a storm that was majestically terrible. Winds that were 60mph+, heavy rains, snow and even sizable hail. This tent took it all like a champ. No damage to the tent, despite the heavy weather and the debris it flung at us, no water seeping in anywhere, and enough space that the 6 of us lounged comfortably without feeling on top of one another. Takedown was as fast & easy as set up and we had no problem fitting it back into its bag. I didn't buy the gear hammock that goes with the tent but there are plenty of stash pockets to put headlamps, books, chapstick, and other small essentials that are nice to have in the tent with you. I was also impressed with the zipper layout on the doors, they can open from R or L to limit crawling over your tent mates when nature calls in the middle of the night. Some folks who passed by our camp commented on our tent, there was skepticism that the delicate looking fabric would be very durable, but it's tougher than it looks. One of the dogs with us is a puppy and if we didn't hang onto him while we opened doors he'd try to barge his way through. There were two times when he tried to barge his way through, I thought for sure he'd put holes in it, but nope, this stuff is stronger than you'd ever think. The only thing I have to warn about is that if you are over 6' 8" you may not fit well. We were laying with heads and feet at the doors and my husband, a bit of a giant, had no wiggle room his head and feet were right at the walls of he didn't curl up a bit. Otherwise I have no caveats about this tent. If you like to stay as a family all in one tent with just enough room not to get on each other's nerves but want to minimize the weight you're hauling this is the tent for you. I choked a bit on the price, but having used it I'm confident it will be the last group tent we need & will serve us well for many years.

I love this tent. I used it when I hiked rim to rim in the Grand Canyon. It was very lightweight and quick and easy to set up and tear down. I spent six nights in this tent. The fly was good on the rims where it was down to about 50° on the south rim and 30° on the north rim. I did not use the fly when I was in the canyon because it stayed up around 80° even at night. There was enough room for me on my sleeping pad and some essentials inside. There is a very handy pocket towards your feet that can hold things like your phone or a flashlight. I feel like it was a great value for the price I paid,I am even considering purchasing the two person size for when my partner and I hike together.

I did a lot of research and checked a bunch of reviews before purchasing this tent for my outdoor enthusiast granddaughter. This was the one with the best evaluations. Lightweight, well-made, so easy to set up, resistant to wind, excellent rain fly, easy entry points, functional gear nets and hanging loops inside. She’s used it a number of times in desert, mountains, lakeside, and loves it more each trip.

Love the tent. Great hight and room for 2 plus some gear. Great vestibule and light weight. Great places for gear and well thought out vestibule, BUT... After 1 use, the clip that holds one of the tent poles snapped in half. This is an oversight in the tents design, and for the money I spent on this tent, a parts failure like this is unacceptable. The manufacturer is going to sent another clip, but that'll cost $30+ in shipping and I'll have to take the tent to a seamstress to have the repair done. The material the clip is made of is a fairly soft plastic. BIG AGNES, PLEASE REPLACE THESE WITH A LIGHTWIGHT ALUMINUM PART. Possibly a slip on, or clip on plastic replacement if aluminum is too costly.

Leicht, einfach aufzubauen und perfekt für einen Wanderurlaub. Ich habe mich für das 3-Personnen Zelt entschieden, auch wenn wir meist zu zweit unterwegs sind, da so die Möglichkeit besteht, bei schlechtem Wetter die Rucksäcke mit reinzunehmen. Von Regen, über Hagel und Sonnenschein hält das Zelt was es verspricht. Ich würde es jedem empfehlen, der nach einem leichten, Wander, Outdoor-Zelt sucht. Es ist zwar ein stolzer Preis, aber man bekommt was für sein Geld :)

Ik heb een bedrag van €545,85 betaald voor een tent die ik heb geretourneerd. De verkoper gaf herhaaldelijk aan mijn informatie niet te hebben ontvangen, waardoor het proces vertraagd werd. Uiteindelijk liet de verkoper weten dat DHL de levering niet kon traceren. Vervolgens heb ik contact opgenomen met DHL en een officieel bewijs ontvangen waarin staat dat het pakket wel degelijk is geleverd, inclusief de naam van de ontvanger bij de verkoper. Ondanks dit duidelijke bewijs heb ik mijn geld niet teruggekregen, omdat de aanvraag volgens de verkoper te laat zou zijn ingediend. Dit terwijl de vertraging juist het gevolg was van gebrekkige communicatie vanuit de verkoper. Ik verzoek u dringend om alsnog tot terugbetaling over te gaan. Ik heb correct geretourneerd en voldoe aan de voorwaarden van uw A-Z garantie. Deze situatie is voor mij zeer teleurstellend en past niet bij de service die ik van dit platform mag verwachten.

Das Zelt hat seinen ersten Test in Südchile bestanden: stürmischer, wasserdicht, leicht und rasch aufzubauen. Hervorragend!
