Big Agnes Copper Spur UL - 3 Person Tent (Spring 2010) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We picked this tent up the day before leaving on an 8-day hiking trip in the Grand Canyon.The tent is about 4-1/2lbs including rainfly and poles... much lighter than our 'reserve' tent which weighed about 8lbs.The tent was easy to set up and of the 7 nights, 4 of them we left the fly off utilizing only the screen top.The large vestibules of the fly are nice for boots and other gear with excellent air circulation.It did not rain on us so I can't speak to the water impermeability, but we did get some very strong winds.Because of the full screen top and air gaps under the fly, the wind was able to blow a bit of dust into the tent.We used the fly in the strong wind as the tent is more 'aerodynamic' with the fly and more tie points are provided on the fly.The only criticism I could possibly come up with is the lightweight floor, but this is expected given the overall light weight of the tent.The manufacturer recommends using the footprint to help protect the floor, but that is 1lb we did not want to carry for 8 days - the floor held up fine given some care (clearing as many rocks as possible from the tent area).Overall we are very pleased with the tent and look forward to future camping trips.
