Perfect Tent

I absolutely love this tent. I've taken it on over 10 backpacking trips, including a 12 day trek at Philmont in the back country of New Mexico, and it always performed like a champ. It held up to everything from downpours to hail storms and always stayed dry. The features are incredibly well thought out, making it my favorite tent. I wouldn't change a thing.

Solid

I have used many tents backpacking, often at or above treeline in the Cascades, as well as Nepal. I find this tent to be the best balance of durability, simplicity, functionality and lightness.

Fantastic Tent

Best tradeoff of weight to comfort ratio. Wanted something under three pounds that didn’t feel like a coffin and this was absolutely the right choice. Quick and easy set up, used for a couple weeks kayak camping in GA. I didn’t initially buy the footprint but will be buying it soon.

Excellent Tent

I have used this tent for many years. Even though it is a light tent it has held up to Back country snowshoeing with heavy snow fall and heavy winds all the way up to 7 day backpacking trips. the tent is spacious with lots of head room and leg room for taller people.

A Canoe Trippers Best Friend!

My trip-partner and I each used our Copper Spur UL tents on a remote backcountry canoe trip in Canada and they both performed flawlessly! We saw varying types of weather, including several extended downpours and enough wind to keep us wind-bound at a campsite for an extra day. We were both very impressed at their ability to hold up to the elements, yet still incredibly lightweight and surprisingly durable. What a great feeling to jump into my tent each evening, regardless of the weather. I won't hesitate to take my Copper Spur on any future trips.

Great tent, this will be my 2nd copper spur 2 tent with no regrets

Fabulous

I'd been wanting this tent for a while. I also have a Tiger Wall, that I adore, but the Copper Spur material us a bit less delicate and the ability to set it up with my poles and under the rainfly really does make a difference. The pole option helps with the weight and my first trek out with it I got trapped in a torrential downpour and appreciated the ability to do the rainfly, first so the tent didn't get wet at all. I use a 2 person tent for just me as I like the extra space and so it's one of my weight compromises. You don't need to, but I keep my pack with me (I hang food and all smelly things, but keep my pack) because I use it to prop up my legs at night as I have lower back issues. The extra size is helpful so I can move the pack around when I'm in it without sleeping. One thing that seems silly but makes a huge difference, for me, is the color. I dislike waking up in green or blue tents because of the light. The red and yellow of the Tigerwall and Copper Spur mimic, more, the color of the sun and so I wake up feeling warmer and more refreshed.

Easypeasy

Nice tent, cool and cozy color! It doesn't get dark inside the tent when camping near other tents with lights. Though set up and packing is easy and fast. When the tent is wet it dries fast, that's nice too. Material feels breakable, but it's can handel a lot! Cords could be more visible in daytime, tripped a couple of time due to clumsiness :). Would not recommend sleeping with 2 persons (im 170cm 68kg female, another me would be too tight and no room for two-person backpaking gear to keep dry in rain. Very comfy as a 1p tent though (reason I bought it).

The Best For Most People

The 2 person variant of this tent is perfect for backpacking trips with your dog. The tent has a tapered foot box, so fitting two people in it will require some coordination with sleeping pads, I prefer to keep my pack inside the tent, and there was plenty of room for my sleep system, my dog's sleeping bag, plus my pack/gear. It even kept us dry in a surprise snow storm at elevation. I've also woken up to a soggy rain fly during foggy alpine evenings where the day/night temps vary a lot but the interior has always stayed dry. The footprint is sold separately and is a must have (or make your own). Easy to set up and guy out, good ventilation, roomy and lots of storage.

Great Design And Good Ultralight

Comfortable ultralight that's an easy set up. I like the color-coded poles, tent and fly. The fly zipper tends to stick and/or catch, but not a deal breaker. I did tear the tent bag going through tamarisk fields and Big Agnes was kind enough to replace it for me. Great support! Thanks!

Excellent Backpacking Tent

I have owned a Copper Spur UL2 for 9 years now and used it on multiple backpacking trips each summer in the mountains of Colorado. My husband and I find it to be very easy to set up, durable, and lightweight. A couple years ago we noticed some minor wear to the tent and had it repaired by Big Agnes. We thought we might lighten our load a little and try out the Fly Creek but found it did not have high enough sides to protect us from the sudden rain and hail storms at high elevation. We are still using our original Copper Spur to this day and are very happy! I see there are some newer updates to the tent like increased storage inside and the option to convert the vestibule into an awning. I think anyone looking to enjoy the great outdoors would be well served by this tent.

Great Backpacking Tent

Great backpacking tent, light & roomy enough for 2. Greenish color blends in well with scenery. Love the different ways that the fly can be secured as well as privacy screen.

Good Stuff

Love this tent, easy to set up, sturdier than it seems. I love all the little pockets. Thought it would be fragile, especially with two dogs, but I haven't had any problems.

Best Tent I've Ever Owned!

This has been my "go-to" tent for years. It is light enough that I use it on solo trips, and roomy enough for me and my young son to share on group trips.

It Works For Us

Lightweight go to tent for use in three season conditions. It has been successfully used in light unexpected snowfall conditions, in the Yukon, CA. We generally don't use the fly.
