Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 Ultra Light Tent: 3-Person 3-Season

Planning to spend a week or two in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness? Keep your pack weight really low—carry the Big Agnes Copper Spur Ultra Light Tent. Yet you don't have to give up space and comfort to go light: The Copper Spur has two doors and two vestibules so three people can come and go and not get in the way of each other. A mesh top and partial mesh sides allow air circulation for less stuffiness and excellent, bug-free stargazing when the rain fly is off. This three-season tent features tent-pole-making company DAC's super lightweight, durable tent poles. DAC made these poles using an eco-friendly process that eliminates the need for two toxic chemicals and that recycles wastewater. These aluminum poles fit together using Big Agnes' hub-pole system to make setup fast and easy.

Bottom Line: Don't make unnecessary sacrifices in order to go ultra light—pack the spacious Copper Spur Ultra Light Tent for your next adventure.

My tent went to the 4th season

By:
September 3, 2008

This past weekend I went camping in the High Uintas. I am happy to say the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 held up well for the 16 straight hours of rain, freezing rain, hail, and snow. The tent has my confidence now after surviving more weather than it was designed for. The tent is easy to pack because of the light weight, and sets up easily with the color coded attachments. I thought the stakes were strong, and easy to put in and out of the ground with a rock. The drawstring feature adjustment for the rain fly was fast to adjust for the length, matching the various ground space in a flash. The vestibule did well under tremendous weight of heavy wet snow. The doors to the tent also held up well to quick exists, and dogs wanting to come in & out. What else can I say? The Copper Spur won me over. The only thing I would change is the color, I wish it was green instead of orange.

I'm trying to compare this tent (copper spur UL3) versus the Nemo Losi 3. I can't decide between them, because I don't have much experience with either brand or with tents in general. Does anyone have advice on the pros and cons of each? Thanks!

I would say the copper spur merely because i am a huge fan of this tent. I have set it up in matter of a minute alone and the frame is super simple.
The materials are tough but almost see-through because they are so light. (Dont worry, you will not be able to see through so privacy is solid.)
The nemos are pretty cool since they dont require poles and are pretty dang light too. I have not heard or been able to test them in terms of strength against teh conditions so I cannot say, but I am a bit leary myself of theri strength compared to something like this.

Light weight, spacious, fast and easy setup, adequately durable for a light weight tent, it's a good choice!

Holy Cow!

This tent is so compactable . It was the lightest, most important part of our camping trip. The tent is super easy to set up. It took the two of us about ten minutes... and about five to take apart. Best investment made this year.

Is this tent really seam-sealed or taped? The Big Agnes website says it's taped, but this website says sealed.

Both terms can be sometimes used interchangeably. Regardless of the term itself. the floor is sealed and you will not find leaks.

Big Agnes Copper Spur - Lite with nice features

By:
July 15, 2008

Big Agnes Copper Spur I found to be lite with nice feature. The dual doors make it very nice you do not have to worry about tripping over another person to make a quick morning exit to see a man about a horse. I did not set this tent up before heading out on my backpacking trip. I did not set this tent up before my adventure and was able to set it up without much of an issue. The clips for the pulls have a nice angle to them which makes it easy to setup. I also likes the stakes for this tent also lite but strong.

So far so good

By:

I traded in my Black Diamond Skylight for this tent. The Skylight was such a pain in the butt to set up, and it had only one door. So far I'm very impressed with this tent. Very light for a 3-person, and truly roomy for three (not a glorified 2-person). Best of all was the set-up: my first try I set up this tent in about three minutes, without directions; it's very intuitive. The vestibules are not as roomy as I had hoped, but there are two of them and they're nicely designed. The colors are warm but nicely muted. I'm looking forward to trying just the fly and the footprint for those ultra light adventures when bugs aren't an issue (leave the body behind!).

Great Tent at really light weight.

By:
May 7, 2008

This tent weighs just over 4 lbs which is really light for a 3 person tent. It has lots of mesh in the top which provides good ventilation and also has two doors so you don't have to climb over people to get out. Also it has a ton of vestibule space. This is a great backpacking tent for those who like a little more room but still want to go light.
