The unanimous #1 pick across every major backpacking tent roundup. At just 3 lbs with two doors, two vestibules, and 29 sq ft of floor space, it defines what a modern ultralight tent should be.
If you backpack more than a few times a year, just buy the Copper Spur UL2. It's been the top pick for years across Outdoor Gear Lab, Switchback Travel, and the backpacking community — that kind of consensus doesn't happen by accident.
“The Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 is among the lightest-weight backpacking tents we've yet tested in this category and still delivers comfort and weather protection.”
