Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL3 2023 Ultralight 3 Person Backpacking Tent

The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL3 is a three season, freestanding ultra lightweight tent which can accommodate three people yet only weighs 1.7kg.

The Copper Spur HV UL3 is Big Agnes’s best-selling, full-featured, ultra lightweight backpacking tent for three people.  
The Copper Spur has been redesigned with new features inside and out, using proprietary materials that are lighter, stronger and newly equipped with hardware that makes set-up even easier.
The high volume design provides ample living space in this freestanding structure. Traditional, media, and 3D bin pockets help to organize your gear without cramping your sleep space or capacity to sit up inside.
The awning-style vestibules can be customized to expand living space, great for both drizzle and sun protection. Your ultimate UL home away from home.

TipLok Tent Buckle
Our proprietary corner construction on the Copper Spur HV UL series is built around the TipLok Tent Buckle™. To simplify your tent setup we’ve combined three functions into one mechanism. The secure pole-tip capture won’t release your pole tip during setup, streamlining the process especially if you are setting up solo. The rain fly attachment and tensioner plus the stakeout loop are included to create a trouble-free setup trifecta!

Vestibule Awnings
Shade spot, chill zone, couples therapy….vestibule awnings are an option to pitch on your Copper Spur with trekking poles or accessory tent poles and stabilize with extra guy lines (extra guy lines included). Customize your tent life whenever the mood strikes.
