Big Agnes Copper Hotel 3 Person HV UL Dome Tent Review

The Copper Hotel 3 HV UL has two doors and a peak center height of 3' 7, which is 11 inches less than the average height of the 139 various 3 person tents we have examined With 41 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to two other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a really good choice for campers who like spending loads of hours outside their tent getting some air.

Many of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them easy to carry. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are the most common of all the other types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent will have a square footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Underneath you can see a list of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Copper Hotel HV UL can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you a place to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is good to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Breathable. The Copper Hotel's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
6. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 41 square feet, the Copper Hotel 3 is smaller than quite a lot of the 139 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some campers.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Copper Hotel 3 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyurethane-coated ripstop nylon, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
