Big Agnes Copper Spur 3 Person HV Expedition Dome Tent Review

The Copper Spur 3 HV Expedition has two windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 5, which is 13 inches less than the average height of the 139 various 3 person tents we have studied. With 41 square feet of room inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to two other campers all through the 4-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one are a very good choice for people that appreciate spending loads of hours outside the tent exploring.

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

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

Down below, you can see an account of the tent's pros and cons.

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. Offers you somewhere to store shoes and other things 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. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. More than one window. With 2 openings it is easier to keep the tent cool 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 pretty 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 rain.
8. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 41 square feet, the Copper Spur 3 is smaller than quite a lot of the 139 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 13% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Copper Spur 3 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 checked.
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many qualities to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Big Agnes's Copper Spur 3 HV Expedition tent is great for mountaineering and backpacking.
