Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 Ultralight Tent: 1-Person 3-Season
You like some space in your tent and a removable rain fly, but you don’t want to lug 5 pounds of poles, either. Big Agnes designers feel the same, so they created the Copper Spur UL1, an ultralight 1-person, 3-season tent for your backcountry pursuits. This tent features DAC Featherlite NSL poles that DAC made for Big Agnes using an eco-friendly anodizing technique. These lightweight poles hook together using pressfit connectors and hubs, which makes setup a cinch. A small extra door gives you easy access to a second vestibule. For times when you want to shave even more ounces, leave the tent body behind and pack the fly with the Copper Spur UL1 Footprint (sold separately).
Bottom Line: Going light doesn’t have to mean giving up tent space.
The following is a review that is based on comparison to my Eureka SpitFire 1. I still feel that the SpitFire 1 is an excellent tent and best buy for the money! I feel that the ventilation of the Copper Spur UL1 is superior to my SpitFire 1, it weights sligthly less, is freestanding, and has more floor space. Final Setup time is faster with this tent because I can move the tent around to find more level ground once the tent is erect. The UL1 has a nice overhang above the door that has kept my bag drier when entering/exiting in wet condtions. With a floor space of 22 sqft, it has plenty of room in it for me, my 60 dog, and few overnight extras. Since the materials of this tent are lightweight, Piper packs a small patch of sheet to protect the floor from his paws. The small "back door" is just great! I now don't have to get out of my tent to access something under the fly on the other side! Every solo tent should have this !! I measured the weight of the tent body, the fly, 6 stakes w sack, poles w sack, and 4 guy lines; the total was 2 lbs - 14.3oz. Why the 4 stars? My only complaints would be the main door zipper and cost. The UL1 should have a bottom zip and we, the consumers, shouldn't be shelling out a small fortune to own this tent!
My 60 lb. yellow lab has plenty of room in the 10 sq.ft. vestibule area of my BA Emerald Mountain SL1 (same overall dimensions as this tent). The lack of space & the thin floor material prevents me from allowing her inside even though she exhibits a great desire to be there. My heart is broken.
Hey David, Thanks for the response! Right now young Piper and I sleep in a Eureka SpitFire 1. I think it's listed at having only 18sq ft of floor space. So I'm hoping this would be better. We're a little cramped in the SpitFire, but it's doable!
This is a pretty small tent, it depends on how big you are and how big your dog is. Most of the tent floor would be covered by your sleeping pad and bag so I wouldn't say that the dogs paws would do much damage.
I am trying to pack ligher but I still want a bit of luxury in the backcountry. Plus I really, really hate bugs. I carted 30lbs up the Mist trail and was really happy to climb into my new Copper Spur UL1 at LYV. Wow, this is an awesome single tent and feels huge inside. The headroom is incredible. Two might fit in a pinch, but it would be tight and you would have to spoon it. At about 3 lbs including a foot print, it's the best of the light free standing singles(I swapped out the stakes for MSR needles). The vestibule is huge, it has a mini back door and a built in pocket for your goodies. Really hard to knock much about it. A bit of a pain to get in with the fly up, the footprint fits loose and it is spendy. But all in all, it's still an A+. Waking up clean and bug free, watching those dusty dudes who slept of the ground mope about, priceless. p.s. Just did trip two through 20 miles of mosquito hell and a bottom zip door would of kept more of them out. Regardless it's still five stars.
Looking for one person light weight tent with fly - is this better than Big Agnes Fly Creek or ASR Carbon Reflex from REI? Beginner backpacker - infrequent backpacker - old backpacker - so looking for easy to put up, light to carry - fly so bears can't look in.
Look no further. This is a great side entrance, spacious vestibule, solo tent. It is a bit expensive but with proper care will give you many years of lightweight, substantial sheltering.
This would be a great tent for any user. Fly creek and Seedhouse have an end entrance, MSR is a bit narrow. This has a side entrance and generous width, you can't go wrong. Bears hate the Terra-Cotta color,:).
It weighs just under 5 lbs? The above review is obviously not for this tent. While the tent is nice a roomy, this is one of the lightest solo tents on the market at under 3 pounds.
