Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Bikepack

PROS: It is a very light tent, folds compact and very spacious for 1 person use. CONS: Materials are very fragile, zips from bad quality, the system to clip the tent to the floor is made out plastic and after few uses breaks. I do recommend for bikepacking expeditions but not for long term use.

I got this product to have a smaller and lighter tent, instead of a traditional two person dome tent. The single most important feature for me was the length of the tent poles. In a traditional tent, they are usually over 40cm and fit here and there, especially on bike trips. The material of the tent has a nice feel and is really thin. You can see where that lightness comes from. You have to be quite careful not to cause any tears (then know if it is possible when camping, time will tell). Setting up is quite simple if you are familiar with dome camping. I personally like much more that the tent poles do not have to be threaded through the fabric, but are attached to the tent itself with clips (like here). All in all, a very good tent that goes into a small space, which can fit two people well, but quite close together. The separate base is convenient, because it kind of creates its own vestibule. On the other hand, it is completely absurd that it has to be bought separately, because if you want to use the tent, it is practically necessary. A small minus is also the rolling up of the doorways, because you have to make a few extra movements. Ps. The tent itself, poles, wedges + base fabric (which can fit in the tent's packaging) has a total weight of 1.85 kg.

I haven’t set up the tent. But the sending was swift. The reviews on YouTube were good enough to buy this tent. I will use it on the GDMBR next year. This may I will use it to tryout.

The tent is perfect. I upgraded this from another one I had as it didn’t fit to my bike very well. I am incredibly impressed by the quality of it and just how light it is.

A light and spacious bikebacking tent for one. Good interior height. Good stuff pockets inside. Easy to set up and you can also set up the outdoor tent first if you also buy a protective base fabric (footprint) In the wind, maybe not the best possible.

I bought this for bike touring. When I sleep alone, I use a 25" travel mattress and there is still plenty of room for equipment. The apses are also spacious. The tent is easy and quick to set up thanks to the color coding. I bought a suitable footprint for this, so that the bottom fabric of the tent lasts longer and the tent can also be set up with the outer fabric first in the rain. The tent packs into a really small space and seems to be of high quality. There are also plenty of storage pockets inside for clothes, electronics, etc.

Solid tent, thought for bikepacking totally working for backpacking. Strong construction and details.

One night in a tent in the back. A really suitable size for one person with their belongings if you don't want to leave them in the apse. Easy and quick to set up and take down, the packaged fits really well between the horns of the CX bike without interfering with cycling. I was debating between this and the Tiger Wall, I settled on this because the Copper Spur is a self-standing tent while the Tiger wall is not.

Tested in wind and rain with footprint. Withstood wind and water rain well.

Easy to assemble and versatile tent. The Bikepack version is narrower, so you can carry the bike on a pole or in a backpack.
