About this product

The Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 5-Person Tent is a fully featured ultralight shelter built for fast-moving travellers who need reliable weather protection without sacrificing weight. The canopy combines ultralight nylon with polyester mesh to balance ventilation and weather resistance, while the rainfly and floor use HyperBead fabric technology, which is lighter and stronger than conventional coatings and does not require re-waterproofing over time. Seams are taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape, free of PVC and VOCs, and the tent carries a rain protection rating of 4. A high-volume pole structure using featherlight DAC NFL and NSL poles with pressfit connectors creates near-vertical sidewalls for generous interior volume. Ventilation is managed through low vestibule vents and a high fly vent, while storm flaps keep drips out. The double-zippered vestibule door can be rigged as an awning using hiking poles. Interior organization includes an oversized 3D bin pocket, ceiling pockets, and side pockets. Eight Dirt Dagger ultralight stakes are included, and an optional footprint is available for floor protection or an ultralight configuration.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Copper Spur UL5 for delivering an exceptional amount of interior space and headroom at a weight that undercuts most four-person competitors, making it a standout choice for families and small groups heading into the backcountry. The freestanding design, color-coded poles, and straightforward setup earn repeated compliments, and the tent is widely regarded as one of the best options in the large-capacity lightweight category. The most common criticisms center on the thin, delicate floor and body fabric, which users warn can be vulnerable to punctures and abrasion, and on zipper durability, with some reporting failures on both the rainfly and doors over time. The high price point is a recurring concern, and a few reviewers note that the fly's waterproofing can wet out more quickly than expected in sustained heavy rain. Some also flag that, despite the "UL" label, the 5-person version is not truly ultralight and can be a burden to carry solo.
