Description

The feature-rich Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL 2 backpacking tent boasts an impressive interior space-to-weight ratio. The balance of weight and performance is sure to appeal to ounce-counters who still appreciate comfort.

Stretching a full 88" in length, the interior of the 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, 14 ounces, the tent offers ample room for 2 or serves as a super spacious shelter for solo hikers. Dual vestibules offer 18 square feet (9 square feet per vestibule) 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).

The 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 attachment that pulls the tent body taut, increasing the verticality of the interior walls and helping to maximize the spaciousness of the 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.

The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL 2 backpacking tent is available in your choice of color options.

  • Based on the features of the best-selling, award-winning Copper Spur ultralight tents, the Copper Spur HV UL design allows for high volume pole architecture resulting in steeper walls without adding weight

  • Two doors and two vestibules with storm flaps on the vestibule zippers

  • Quick Stash on tent body door makes stowing unzipped door quick and easy

  • Two-tone mesh provides privacy while allowing for star gazing transparency
  • Massive ceiling pocket provides great storage space
  • Media pockets located above sleeping area enable clean ear bud cord routing from phones or other devices.
  • One fly vent
  • Velcro tabs connect fly to pole structure providing perfect pitch and extra stability
  • Ready to pitch; with pre-cut guy lines and tensioners attached to fly
  • Reflective guylines and webbing on tent corners
  • Easy grip zipper pulls

It doesn't get any better than this!!!

It's a great tent, the poles, the fly, the whole package is awesome. I've had my eye on one of these since they first came out with the HV model. I was going to get the UL1, but I'm sorta husky and I may have a friend with me from time to time....so I got this. I love the olive green, it's earthtone- part of my LNT practices. I wasn't sure I wanted a bright orange and white tent. Great price for one of the best tents out there right now- thanks Enwild!!!!

Dislikes

So far, if I had one complaint....it's the stakes that come with the tent. They look like they would collect a lot of dirt and make a huge mess...I'm planning on replacing them with some Easton pegs or some MSR groundhog stakes, and just keep the provided ones as backups. The footprint is a bit overpriced.....but I like to use a piece of Tyvek as a ground sheet....no biggie.

As lightweight as it gets without sacrificing comfort. Easy to setup. Durable enough as long as you take care of your stuff.

Love it....

Likes

Tent is light easy to set up and keeps me dry...the most important part. Love the light weight, ease of setup.

Dislikes

As most of you already know, in backpacking tents = 2 people very tight and snuggling, or 1 person and their gear. This applies to the Copper Spur HV UL2 as well, but, I knew that before I bought. One minor complaint is that Big Agnes ships these tents with 8 stakes, which is what is needed to stake out the tent. They also include 4 tie outs on the fly, but, no stakes for that. Come on Big Agnes how much would it really cost to include the 4 stakes?

Great tent for a great price!

Likes

As someone getting more seriously into backpacking, this tent was exactly what I was looking for. Easy to set up, light weight, and reliable. I've been in hot weather, thunderstorms, heavy rain, and some pretty gusty wind since getting this tent and have been so impressed by how it has held up.

Dislikes

Nothing! Might be nice if there was a footprint that came with it, though.

Comfort and lightweight tent for two people

Likes

Two large double doors, amazing headroom, 100% balance of space, weight and comfort. I also like the bright and cheery orange color of this tent. Very ease of set-up, color-coded pole, free standing design. I think the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 is a great choice for long distance multi-day backpacking trips for two people!

Legit Tent

Likes

This is the first high quality backpacking tent I have purchased and it is amazing. My first time hiking with this tent I had to set up in the dark for the first time setting it up and I was able to get the tent set up relatively quickly that night. There was a torrential downpour in the middle of the night and into the morning, and not a drop of water got in the tent during the rain; the floor of the tent felt moist but not enough for water build up or for gear to get wet. Favorite attributes: - Extremely lightweight - Easy set up and tear down - Great water proofing

Dislikes

- Rainfly zipper gets caught when wet - Material is thin enough on the bottom that you can feel some moisture from the ground when it is very wet - Footprint is sold separately for $70
