Big Agnes Copper Spur 3 Person HV UL Dome Tent Review

The Copper Spur 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 studied. With 41 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to two other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one generally make a really good choice for campers that like spending lots of hours outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Some of the great points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them simple to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, 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 fair better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent should have a square floor, sloped sides a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.

2. Lacking in Headroom. With 11% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Copper Spur 3 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Proprietary patterned random rip-stop nylon , it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
