100% Satisfied!

I'm 6'2" and don't feel cramped, even with much of my gear inside. I've logged 15 nights in my Copper Spur UL1, including nonstop rain on Mt Hood and 30kt winds on the Lost Coast with no regrets.

Still Going Strong After 7 Years

I bought an earlier version of this tent in 2017 for my thru-hike attempt of the Arizona Trial (injured, section hiking now). It was my first lightweight tent and has served me well. I jokingly call it my "coffin" because it's pretty "cozy" in size, but roomy enough. I especially appreciate the freestanding style in the rock-hard desert terrain. I'm thinking of getting the 2 person copper spur as an upgrade...because I'm worth it!

Built To Impress. Proven To Endure.

After years of backpacking through unpredictable weather and rugged terrain, I've learned that not all tents are created equal but this one continues to earn its spot in my pack. From the first setup, it's clear this tent was designed with serious thought. The materials feel premium, the setup is intuitive, and every detail from the reinforced seams to the smooth zippers speaks to durability. What really seals it, though, is longevity. Season after season, it still performs like new. No sagging poles, no leaky nights, no regrets. Whether it's a quick weekend trek or a week deep in the backcountry, this tent handles it all with quiet confidence. It's not just built to impress it's proven to endure.

Love, Love, Love This Tent

This tent is amazing. Very light. So easy to set up. Wonderful & improved design (pockets, stakes, tensioning).

I Really Like This Tent!!! I Would Buy It Again!

I have been using this tent for the last 6 backpack trips. It has worked well in rain storms. I broke the poles on my Wind River Range trip in August. I sent them to Big Agnes to get repaired. I paid a small fee and just received the repaired poles. I plan to do another backpack trip soon on the northern California coast to test them out. I like the light weight, easy set up, and comfortability of the tent. There is a two person version that some people use as a single person, but I am comfortable with the one person tent.
