By Ranked #1240 - 3-Season Tents August 17, 2008

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.
