Big Agnes Copper Spur Ultralight 3-Person Tent

Superlight, technical backpacking tent for three

• Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice Award winner in 2008
• DAC's Featherlite pole system with lightweight hubs keeps weight to a minimum
• Attached vestibules let you keep gear outside of sleeping area

Keeping the weight down in a tent usually requires sacrificing some space. Big Agnes defies this rule with the Copper Spur 3. The DAC's Featherlite aluminum frame is exceptionally light, yet the design allows as much interior space as other tents in the same class that weigh much more. Dual vestibules give you just enough dry space for muddy boots and your packs.

Mesh ceiling and sidewalls let in fresh air while giving great views of the sky when the fly is off. Three mesh pockets for gear organization. Reflective guy lines and stakeouts for night-time visibility. Floor is ultralight silicone-treated ripstop nylon with 1,200 mm polyurethane coating; tent body is a combination of polyester mesh and breathable ripstop nylon. Fly is ultralight silicone-treated ripstop nylon with 1,200 mm polyurethane coating. Imported.
