My Review of Big Agnes Copper Spur 2 Tent

Originally submitted at REI

Enjoy a fantastically light load and plenty of living space with the Copper Spur tent from Big Agnes—its trail weight is only 3 lbs. 6 oz.!


Great, functional TENT

5out of 5

Pros: Lightweight, Easy To Setup, Fly Works Well, Waterproof, Comfortable

Best Uses: Backpacking

Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational

What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist

Was this a gift?: No

Even though I haven't used this tent outdoors, I already love it. Over the last couple years, I've been through numerous tents looking for the right combination of roominess and ultra light enough for fast packing.
Perks; Lightweight, lots of headroom, built-in vent on rain-fly.
Not-so-excited about: double doors (personal preference), EXPENSIVE footprint, which is a must because the materials are VERY thin.

  1. Instead of a footprint, I use a piece of Tyvek as a ground cloth. You can cut it to size of your tent. It's lightweight and a moisture barrier.
