Setting up a 2-person tent

The ultralight tent is set up in just a few steps, thanks to the clips on the sides of the inner tent. These only need to be hooked onto the poles, then the flysheet is connected, tightened and guyed out with webbing straps, and the tent is ready for you to fully use. A spacious 2-person tent thus offers protection from cold wind, sun, and weather.

The Big Agnes tent can be set up as desired; in summer, the inner tent is sufficient, and on windy and cold days, the model can be set up classically with an inner and outer tent.

Possible uses of the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2

Due to its low weight, the ultralight tent can be flexibly taken on any outing, for example, for cycling, but also for trekking.

If you take other luggage, such as trekking poles, the tent hardly adds any weight; in total, the tent weighs around 1600 grams. Of course, it can not only be used for active holidays; it also provides good service for a classic camping holiday.

Advantages and materials

The Copper Spur HV UL 2 from Big Agnes model offers enough space for up to two people, and the construction provides almost steep walls. The vertical walls allow for better seating in the tent and offer ample space. This way, you can comfortably spread out inside the tent and spend time there on rainy days without feeling cramped, with plenty of headroom.

Inside, there are numerous mesh pockets, as well as a raised media pocket in the head area with two cable outlets. Additionally, the tent offers helmet holders as another feature. On the flysheet, there are ten additional loops for attaching wet clothing.

The flysheet is made of 100% nylon/ripstop and has a PU coating, while the inner tent has been impregnated. Similar to polyester, nylon fabric offers many advantages, such as excellent weather protection. The ultralight material is robust and protects the camper from rain and condensation. All materials used are not only robust but also resistant to dirt, which can usually be removed with a little water.

The mesh areas of the inner tent, together with the adjustable vent, ensure a good climate on hot days, thus providing adequate ventilation. You can open both entrance doors halfway or completely using the zippers, which allows for a great view through the entrance. The two vestibules always allow you to leave the tent on the side facing away from the weather. Another advantage is the raised head and foot area, which avoids direct contact between the flysheet and sleeping bag to prevent condensation.

The delivery includes the necessary guy lines, pegs, aluminum poles, a repair sleeve, and the required stuff sack.

What to consider when buying a Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL ultralight tent

The matching tent footprint for the Copper Spur is available separately, and you should definitely use it additionally. It allows for partial use of the tent, for example, if you only want to set up the flysheet. Additionally, the tent footprint protects the tent floor from potential damage and dirt. In damp conditions, water inside the tent is avoided, and drying happens much faster.
