Easy set up and I love the mountain glo lighting. Zippers are solid.

Pretty Friggin Good
Great semi-light tent I use when I want more comfort. My only qualm is that I was told the lights could run off a usb power bank, and I have not found that to be the case. Other than that, there are a ton of pros: - Can setup fly first in the rain - Roomy vestibules that convert to awnings - For the feature set, it is still fairly light - Tons of internal gear storage

Easy And Quality
This is my third BA tent. I keep going back to BA not because their tents don't hold up. They absolutely do. Still have my others and they still get used. No, I keep going back because they keep coming out with lighter, better gear. I bought this Copper Spur only because I wanted a lighter 2 person tent for bikepacking with side entry. This tent checked those boxes and after my forst nights out with it, the tent performed perfectly. Easy in. Easy out. Love it.

Massive Upgrade
My first time with a HV ultralight tent, I could not be happier. The mesh gear pockets and other small details are so nice. I personally am using this for bikepacking and backpacking - suits both needs really well.

Favorite Ul Tent Holds Up In All Conditions
We've had this tent for 5 years and it is hands down my favorite piece of equipment on the trail. It is such a breeze to set up/take down. It's withstood extremely high winds (properly guyed out) and even light snow. We've hunkered down in it during intense thunder and lightening storms and felt safe and secure. It is cozy for 2 people, with enough room for small items at the head of the tent, keeping packs in the vestibules. LOVE the Mtn Glo... it's so nice to fall asleep to the ambient light. When we purchased our 3P (to take the kid along), there was no Mtn Glo offered and I miss it, so the 2P is my preferred tent. For couples, pair this tent with the Rapide tent floor pad (fits perfectly in the 2P) and you'll get a great night's sleep.

I Have Bought This Multiple Times
I have owned 3 copper spur tents and I can't imagine having a different one. I love the mtnGLO series it makes camping with the kids so much fun and easier when you don't have to mess with finding your headlamp.

Great Tent For Alaska
Great for two good friends or family. Works in all weather, even high winds if guyed out properly. I love the two large vestibules on each side. I have used this model (Copper Spur UL2 Regular & HV) heavily since 2011 in Southeast & Interior Alaska and have never been disappointed.

Great Product!
It is great! Small, and light, we love it. It took us a whole 5 minutes and a YouTube video to understand how to assemble but after that it was easy.

Great Tent, Easy Setup And Mtnglo Is A Nice Bonus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only been able to take it out a couple times, but the Copper Spur has been worth the money. I got the mtnGLO on a whim, but it really is nice to have a non-harsh light source built in. Easily worth the extra bucks.

Good Tent, Good Materials
First, the good then, the not. It is a very good design. This will now give me two doors. This tent will be for solo backpacking. But, two doors lets me see out both sides when bears and other critters create havoc in the campsite. The vent when open even gives me a third side view. It is a light tent (a major factor to me) for the design features. I am not sure how it will stand up to wind but, time will tell. The bad? I took half a star off because the battery cover for the "glow control" needs to be taped on. It did not stay on by itself from the moment it came out of the package. That is not good quality control. Also, I took off half a star because it is not US made. It is made in Asia. Big Agnes, ethical businesses need to charge what they need to charge in order to support American workers. Our economy needs to start making things again. China is a big boy and capable of running its own economy.

The Perfect Tent Doesn't Exi-
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, let me start out saying I have a few tents (well, WAAAY too many tents). All of them were carefully selected, and are pretty great, but each has a fault or two. Too heavy, too much condensation, only one door, small vestibule for my pack.... Anyways, I didn't need a new tent, and it is not exactly a cheap purchase, but I must say, I am completely satisfied, and blown away. It is lightweight, but seems to be durable after 10 days in the backcountry. Very light, without having to go to a non-freestanding tent (seriously, how many of us really want to spend 10 minutes properly staking out and adjusting a non-freestanding tent after a 15-20 mile day). Great to have two entries and vestibules so we don't have to climb over each other to get out or get to our packs. The awnings are great, and totally an unexpectedly useful bonus. Even without it, it would be my favorite tent. My two cents- go for the mtnGLO. I am usually very aware of my pack weight, doing hikes in the High Sierras that start at 9,000 feet, but it is so cool to have built in (and not overly bright) lights, and leave the rainfly folded back halfway to see the stars. Highly recommended, and if you buy a great tent to start with, you will save a bunch of money not buying more tents looking to resolve some shortcoming in a compromised tent...

Nice Ten But Not Durable
I am a avid backpacker and also a trail guide for my sons Trail Life troop. I have had my tent for less than a year and use it on 7 weekend trips and it already has multiple small holes in the tent floor. I purchase the footprint for the tent to help protect the floor but it didn't seem to help. There are a few other dads who are part of our Trail Life troop who are looking to purchase a good lightweight backpacking tent and I am reluctant to endorse this tent. Today make this a great tent it is a simple fix put a better floor in it.

This Tent Is A Breeze!
This tent is super efficient! It's footprint is small enough to pitch almost anywhere, and although it's a bit cozy with two people, I find that as long as you use the gear pockets and vestibule effectively there's plenty of room! Fly is great, holds warmth and keeps everything dry when zipped up, and allows plenty of airflow when the doors are rolled up or in awning mode.

Super Light With A Ton Of Space
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just recently used this tent on a back packing trip. Amazed at its quality, durability, and weight. Sporadic rain/wind throughout the days and it handled it very well. Go for the MTNglo lights, worth every extra penny. My friends were jealous.
