Product Information

Full details

The Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 is a premier three-season, free-standing tent designed for ultralight backpackers who refuse to sacrifice interior space for low weight. Featuring an innovative high-volume architecture and the proprietary TipLok Tent Buckle system, this tent offers exceptional livability and ease of setup. While it excels in performance and comfort, its ultralight construction requires careful site selection to avoid damage from sharp ground debris.

FAQs

Is the Copper Spur UL2 fully waterproof?

Yes, it is designed for three-season use with waterproof coatings and seam-sealed construction.

Can one person set this up alone?

Yes, the pole structure and TipLok buckles make it very easy for a single person to pitch.

Do I need a footprint?

While not strictly required, a footprint is highly recommended to protect the lightweight floor from punctures and abrasion.

How heavy is the tent?

The trail weight is 1.18kg, which includes the tent body, rainfly, and poles.

Are the stakes included?

Yes, the tent comes with a set of lightweight aluminum stakes.

Can I use trekking poles with the awning doors?

Yes, the vestibule doors are designed to be propped up using your trekking poles as support.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting pole tips into buckles

Ensure the tent body is properly tensioned at the corners and that the buckle is free of dirt or grit.

Rainfly sagging in wet weather

Nylon fabric can stretch when damp; adjust the tensioning straps on the TipLok buckles to take up the slack.

Condensation building up inside

Ensure both doors are partially unzipped or properly ventilated and verify the tent is not pitched in a low-lying damp area.

Pros and Cons

  • Easy and intuitive setup via TipLok buckles
  • Generous interior headroom and width
  • Excellent ventilation through dual doors
  • Reflective components for better visibility at night

  • Ultralight fabrics require careful handling to avoid tears

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tent, lay the body flat and connect the DAC pole hub. Insert the pole tips into the TipLok Tent Buckle at each corner until you hear a click. Attach the tent body clips to the poles, then drape the rainfly over the top and secure it using the integrated clips on the buckle system. For care, always shake out debris before packing. If the tent gets muddy, clean it with cold water and a soft sponge—never use harsh detergents or a washing machine. Store the tent loosely in a dry, cool environment rather than compressed in its stuff sack to preserve the fabric coatings.
