Big Agnes Copper Spur 1 Person HV UL Bikepack Dome Tent Review

The Copper Spur 1 HV UL Bikepack has one door and a peak center height of 3' 2, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 68 different 1 person tents we have studied. With 20 square feet of room inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 1-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can generally make a great choice for people who love spending plenty of time outside of their tent exploring.

Some of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking light, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The most basic dome tent should have a square floor, sloped sides a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is typically considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Down below, you can find an account of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Copper Spur HV UL Bikepack 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
4. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire 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.
5. Available in other sizes. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 20 square feet, the Copper Spur 1 is smaller than quite a lot of the 68 other 1 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 6% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Copper Spur 1 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Ripstop nylon, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
