Being a very subjective thing...reviewing a tent can be difficult but here is my experience with the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 2. It is super light, very easily packable and has ample space for two average people. The pole that supports the center of the fly above the doors does create an awkward exit from the tent- especially, if you have loads of condensation like we did just this morning. I have nothing to prove, but I've been camping for over 25 years and I've been in a bunch of tents...but I've never had so much condensation in a tent. Bumping the center pole caused a small rain shower on our sleeping bags and thermarests. Bummer. To be fair, I do think we are in a humid climate and we've had a boat load of rain in the past few weeks so everything is moist. My guess is that I would have had an issue with any tent last night. However, being that the tent is hard to get out of without bumping into things- if you have condensation, you will get wet. We had water droplets hitting us in the face at 2:00 AM. My son is 10 and he asked me this morning, "dad, why did you buy a tent with a built in shower?" ... I have to admit I didn't laugh cause this thing ain't cheap. I'm going to give it another go somewhere else and open up the doors etc for ventilation and see if I am going to keep the tent or return it. I will try to remember to update this later.

Bought this tent to replace my reliable, old, but heavy North Face tents for a recent 10-day backpack trip in the Sierra Nevada. We had quite a bit of rain (T-storms every afternoon) and the tent performed well -- very dry and condensation on the cold mornings from the fly did not drip down into the tent. Very light, easy to set up and thoughtful design -- the two doors and fly vestibules are a great feature. I am tall (6'3") still very comfortable with two people.

I got this tent after comparing it to the BA Seedhouse 2 and the MSR Hubba Hubba. I ruled the Hubba Hubba out for weight, and picked this over the Seedhouse for the increased comfort (dual doors, extra vestibule space, longer length, brow pole) for minimal increase in weight. Picked up the footprint as well to protect the floor (haven't used the fast fly on the trail, did enjoy setting it up in the backyard.)

Very happy with the performance of the tent. Great ventilation, guy lines are easy and lightweight, minimal condensation. Solid protection from rain, and great amount of living space (enough for either my girlfriend or a buddy). Solid overall design, and has held up well for the year that I've had it.

One small complaint. I bought the tent in '08, which came with X-stakes. While they're uber strong, they're somewhat uncomfortable to handle. I use the new J-stakes that come with BA tents instead (got some when I purchased the Fly Creek). I'm sure the '09 tents come with the J-stakes, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Used for 3 nights in Yosemite. Extremely light. Easy to set up. Lots of interior room.

The one downside is one of the poles hangs directly over both doors, making it a bit awkward to exit the tent.

I highly recommend the Copper Spur tents for backpacking. They are very lightweight while retaining some nice features (such as double doors and vestibules). The Copper Spur also seems better made than some of Big Agnes's other tents. The tent has pretty good height for one of it's size and weight, and is comfortable for two people, though you do sleep close together. I prefer something a bit bigger for car camping, but this is a great tent where weight is a concern. The fly does the job and the overall design seems like it will do decently in light to moderate breezes.

I have only a couple of complaints. It takes a bit of getting used to the cross pole sticking out when you don't have the fly up as it's easy to bump into. I would also like a couple more or bigger side pockets for stashing your sleeping bag and pad stuff sacks, and any layers you remove when getting into your sleeping bag for the night. The tent has two fairly small pockets on both side of the tent near the head end.

So I camped in this tent for a week and I loved it. It's super easy to set up and take down and it's small packing size makes it convenient for already cramped camping trips. It has plenty of interior room for a two man tent and is pretty comfortable for chillin in. The only down side i can think of is that one of the two poles required to set up this tent runs directly over the exits making it a little awkward to exit the tent. On the whole though I would definitely rec this tent to anyone looking for a comfortable lightweight, easy setup, easy packing tent.

I bought this based principally on the reviews I read in magazines and on the internet. This was my first purchase of any Big Agnes product—I was not disappointed. The tent is light, very easy to set up, the double doors and double vestibule are great, the stakes are well-made and light. I accidentally stepped on one of the guy lines and snapped it, Big Agnes sent me a few new sets all at their cost. I have really enjoyed this tent.
