Overview
Not a heavy car camping shelter, the Copper Spur UL is an ultralight freestanding tent with a high-volume pole shape and awning-style doors. HyperBead fabric sheds water without added chemicals, and TipLok buckles speed pitching.
Livable space at a low carry weight is why backpackers look at this tent. Thin nylon fabrics save weight but call for a footprint or careful site choice to protect the floor.
Who it's for
Backpackers covering miles who still want room to sit up and store gear under cover. Rough-use car campers may prefer heavier fabrics.
Pros and cons
- Light for a freestanding tent
- High-volume design adds room
- TipLok buckles speed setup
- Compression stuff sack
- Thin floor needs protection
- Footprint not listed as included
- Hand wash only
Performance notes
The pole layout pulls the walls steep, adding usable space near the ceiling. Venting and awning doors govern condensation and rain entry, while the thin floor depends on site choice to avoid punctures.
