 The Copper Spur UL3 includes an ultra-lightweight fly coated with waterproof polyurethane. |
The lightweight design extends to the DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles, which include press-fit connectors and sturdy hubs. The single hub/pole blueprint also makes the tent remarkably easy to pitch. Just connect the poles, and then use the DAC twist clips to secure the tent body to the pole frame. It's that simple, and lets campers spend their time doing more productive things, like goofing off.
Despite the minimal weight, the Copper Spur UL3 is relatively spacious, with 44 square feet of living space and a pair of vestibules for added storage. Each vestibule includes a D-shaped door and a storm flap over the zipper. The tent also offers several interior mesh pockets, giving campers room to store wallets, books, flashlights, and cell phones in an out-of-the-way location.

About Big Agnes
Big Agnes is either a rocky peak in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness Area outside of Colorado's Steamboat Springs, a laid-back mountain-town mama, or dependable backcountry gear, depending on whom you ask. The Big Agnes founders think it represents a little bit of each and everything in between. The folks at Big Agnes have spent a lot of time in the Colorado backcountry, giving them a deep appreciation of local history, places, peaks, and rivers. From the Cross Mountain, named after a Yampa River canyon known for classic Class IV/V whitewater, to the Encampment, one of the country's most scenic wilderness river runs, to more obvious choices like the Divide Series, the company names its products after some of the most fascinating landmarks in the region. The spring runoff near Steamboat is also pretty spectacular, so Big Agnes included a few favorite creeks to its name directory, including Sarvis, Deep, Mad, and Lost Dog. The fun product names complement a full catalog of well-constructed outdoor products, which include sleeping bags, tents, pads, duffels, and camping accessories.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great lightweight tent
We picked this tent up the day before leaving on an 8-day hiking trip in the Grand Canyon. The tent is about 4-1/2lbs including rainfly and poles... much lighter than our 'reserve' tent which weighed about 8lbs. The tent was easy to set up and of the 7 nights, 4 of them we left the fly off utilizing only the screen top. The large vestibules of the fly are nice for boots and other gear with excellent air circulation. It did not rain on us so I can't speak to the water impermeability, but we did get some very strong winds. Because of the full screen top and air gaps under the fly, the wind was able to blow a bit of dust into the tent. We used the fly in the strong wind as the tent is more 'aerodynamic' with the fly and more tie points are provided on the fly. The only criticism I could possibly come up with is the lightweight floor, but this is expected given the overall light weight of the tent. The manufacturer recommends using the footprint to help protect the floor, but that...

3lb 14oz
I purchased my Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 from HumbleOutdoors for about $450, it came with a free Big Agnes footprint.
At 3lb 14oz this three person tent is incredible. It's solid, had decent room for two(three would be cozy), great in the wind and rain. We bought the updated 2012 model and used it for a kayak camping trip in Florida. The tent stuffed great and setup fairly quick. Very Happy!
Not so sure about the Copper Spur UL3
I purchased this tent to use on a cross state bicycle trip that I was helping to lead for a group of teenagers. It replaced a 20+ year old Sierra Designs clip 3 tent that I have used on many occasions. Unfortunately the Copper Spur partially collapsed on me during a violent thunderstorm and soaked all of the contents of the tent. It is true that there were high winds, but I never had my old tent collapse under similar weather conditions. I am not a rookie capmper and I think that I set the tent up properly. Now I will always be a bit concerned about using this tent in windy conditions which is a shame.
