About this product
The Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 is a three-season backpacking tent built for three occupants, striking a practical balance between low weight and livable interior space. Its trail weight of 3 lb 8 oz (packed weight 3 lb 14 oz) makes it a strong choice for multi-day trips where every ounce counts. The ripstop nylon construction features a 1200mm waterproof coating with fully seam-sealed seams, and DAC Featherlite NFL poles with a high-volume hub keep the 43-inch interior height generous while maintaining structural integrity. Two awning-style vestibules add 9 sq ft each of covered storage space beyond the 41 sq ft floor area. Setup is simplified by the TipLok Tent Buckle, which integrates pole-tip capture, rainfly attachment, and stake-out loop into one component. High and low ventilation options, including mesh panels, help manage condensation. Pre-cut reflective guylines aid nighttime visibility, and oversized interior pockets plus a Quick Stash door keeper keep the space organized. The tent packs down to 21 by 6 inches and is compatible with mtnGLO Tent Lights (sold separately).

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 for its exceptional space-to-weight ratio, calling it one of the lightest 3-person backpacking tents available while still offering generous interior room and headroom. The freestanding design, intuitive color-coded setup, dual doors and vestibules, and versatile pitch options (including fly-only mode) are frequently highlighted as standout features. Weather protection is considered solid for three seasons, with the ultralight fabric performing better than expected. The most common criticism is the high price tag, which many reviewers acknowledge but accept given the performance. A recurring note is that true comfort for three adults is tight, with most users agreeing it works best as a roomy two-person tent. Some users also flag that the limited number of included stakes and guylines may be insufficient for heavy wind conditions.
