How durable is this tent against UV? It is extremely light, which is good, but I wonder whether it can stand a constant UV attack when it is pitched for an extended time under the sun?

Constant UV will take it's toll on any tent, but since tents are only set up for short periods of time, the Copper Spur will hold it's own with any other tent on the market. Any nylon material with a PU coating will succumb to prolonged periods of UV bombardment without discrimination toward the manufacturer.
