The Copper Spur 2 HV Expedition has two windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 3, which is 12 inches smaller than the average height of the 204 various 2 person tents we have studied. With 29 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, another camper during the whole of the 4-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one are an ideal choice for campers that enjoy spending lots of time outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them easy to carry. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will see 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 roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular floor, slanted walls two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is generally considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Copper Spur HV Expedition can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Gives you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big 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 gear.
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. More than one window. With 2 windows it is easier to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
6. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is Dominico undyed polyester ripstop, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 10000 mm waterproofing rating, which is very good for most circumstances.
7. 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 downpours.
8. Available in other sizes. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 29 square feet, the Copper Spur 2 is smaller than quite a few of the 204 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 12% 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 sold separately designed for the Copper Spur 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Dominico undyed polyester ripstop, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked.
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of things to be positive about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
