Description

The innovative Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL 2 mtnGLO tent combines ultra-lightweight construction, roomy livability, and built-in LED lighting, making it a feature-rich option for 3-season backpacking.

Stretching a full 88" in length, the interior of the Copper Spur HV UL 2 mtnGLO tent is 52" wide at the head and tapers to a width of 42" at the feet. With 29 square feet of interior space and a trail weight of only 2 pounds, 15 ounces, the tent offers ample space for 2 or serves as a spacious shelter for solo hikers. Dual vestibules offer a combined 18 square feet of additional weather-protected external storage space. Interior mesh pockets provide places to stash gear and clothes while media pockets located above the sleeping area enable headphone/ear bud cord routing from phones or other devices. Integrated gear loft loops offer a connection point for the Big Agnes Triangle Gear Loft (sold separately).

Offering enough light to effectively illuminate the interior of the tent patent-pending mtnGLO technology integrates a strand of LED lights directly into the tent seams. Durable and flexible, the strand holds up to the wear of pitching and tearing down. A simple push-button controller allows you to toggle through On, Off, and 50% brightness settings. The light is powered by 3 AAA batteries (not included) but can also be lit by any USB power source.

The Copper Spur HV UL 2 mtnGLO tent's DAC Featherlite NFL aluminum poles are both lightweight and durable. The single hub/pole design works in conjunction with the tent body's integrated clips to make setting up the tent fast, easy, and intuitive. An additional short section of pole runs across the roof of the tent and connects easily via an innovative clip attachment, pulling the tent body taut to increase the verticality of the interior walls and helping to maximize the spaciousness of the two vestibules. An eco-friendly anodizing process is used by DAC to treat the poles without the toxic chemicals traditionally used on aluminum tent poles. Reflecting an overall commitment to maintaining as light a packed weight as possible, superlight aluminum J stakes are included to further secure the freestanding tent.

Ample mesh on the tent body and the large D-shaped doors encourages cross ventilation and provides circulation to fight condensation build-up. Coated with 1200mm waterproof polyurethane, the rip-stop nylon floor and rainfly are lightweight and durable. All of the tent's seams are seal-taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape (no PVC or VOCs) to further protect the tent from the elements.

If you really want to travel light, leave the tent body at home and use the rainfly alone with the optional Copper Spur HV UL 2 Footprint (sold separately) for a tarp-style set-up that weighs a mere 2 pounds, 4 ounces.

Great lightweight tent

Likes

Nice freestanding tent that is lightweight. Spacious for one person and your pack. Cramped for two people, but with the two doors it makes getting in and out easy. The mountain glow lights are useful. You can use a usb battery pack to light it up to save weight (if you need a battery pack for phone or camera), but you can only use it on one setting.

Dislikes

Matching ground sheet is too expensive. The stuff sack for the tent seems too big for the tent so it doesn't pack down small. Also, the stuff sack is really lightweight and can rip easily when stored on the outside of your pack, so be careful or switch out to another stuff sack.

Everything but the lights

Likes

Really light the tent construction and the lightweight, ease of packability of this tent. We’ve used it on two 4-day campouts and it is easy to enter/exit, even standing up to 35mph winds on a hillside - make sure you buy extra guyline stakes.

Dislikes

Lights didn’t work right out of the package so ensure you have a light that will illuminate the inside enough to see. It only comes with 8 stakes for the tent and vestibules - guyline stakes are on you.

Super light

Likes

Ultralight, easy to assemble

Dislikes

LED light stopped working after the second use, material is lightweight so not very durable, don’t place it behind your backpack straps as the bag can ruptured very easily ( happened to me and I lost the rainfly)

A price to being this dry

Likes

I pitched this tent in the rain, and for the next two days it rained almost nonstop. The good news was that the tent went up so quickly & easily that the inside stayed pretty dry while I got the fly in place. Staked it with just 4 guy lines (8 are possible) and got my gear in. It stayed bone dry inside with no leaks, no drips, nothing. Kept me sheltered and my gear was dry even in the vestibules. Lots of storage pockets and all were easily at hand in the head portion of the tent. Ventilation was simple and worked even during the rain without letting water infiltrate the tent itself.

Dislikes

The MtnGlo never worked. I've heard this is a touch thing, so I'm not sure it was a complete surprise. My larger 4-person MtnGlo tent has never had a moment's trouble with the lights, so this might just've been a bad tent. I'm a bigger guy (6'0", 250+ lbs) and maneuvering inside with my Helinox Cot One was rough. The cot fit, but just barely, and it couldn't be rotated for disassembly very easily.
