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

Item #BAG0136 | 9 in Stock
5 Star Rating

My tent went to the 4th season

By Backcountry.com Employee September 8, 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.
