Big Agnes Copper Spur 3 Person HV UL Long Dome Tent Review

The Copper Spur 3 HV UL Long has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 11, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 172 other 3 person tents we have examined With 44 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to two other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can make a suitable choice for people that welcome spending loads of time outside exploring the great outdoors.

A few of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances 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 straightforward to set up. In good weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top. The most straightforward dome tent should have a square floor, sloped sides two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Down below, you can check out a list of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Copper Spur HV UL Long 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 a place 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 stuff.
4. Breathable. The Copper Spur'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.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 44 square feet, the Copper Spur 3 is smaller than quite a lot of the 177 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. 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 Silicone treated proprietary ultralight double ripstop mixed denier nylon, with solution-dyed ripstop, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we looked.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of qualities to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
