Big Agnes Copper Spur 4 Person HV UL Dome Tent Review

The Copper Spur 4 HV UL has two doors and a maximum center height of 4' 2, which is 14 inches less than the average height of the 134 various 4 person tents we have examined With 57 square feet of space inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one are an excellent choice for people that appreciate spending lots of hours outside of their tent exploring.

A few 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 cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the other types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The most basic dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Copper Spur HV UL 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 ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
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.
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 things.
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. 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.
6. 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 downpours.
7. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 57 square feet, the Copper Spur 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 134 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 14% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not easy to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Copper Spur 4 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.
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of qualities to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Big Agnes's Copper Spur 4 HV UL tent is suitable for backpacking. Here are a couple of other things not already mentioned above which, we found and liked, while reviewing the model: Design features high volume pole architecture resulting in steeper walls without adding weight, Proprietary double ripstop pattern nylon is 20% stronger than regular nylon, providing maximum durability and Fly and floor feature a unique weave made with a high tenacity yarn and high filament count which increases fabric tear strength by 25%, decreases weight of the material and improves water resistance.

With acceptable ratings, a decent amount of reviews and a center height of 4' and 57 square feet of area to sleep, this tent is like your very own miniature flat. This will enable you together with 2 other friends to enjoy some really enjoyable moments in the outdoors together. We found a decent amount of positive points about the tent that you can check out above.

If you came to this website looking for recommendations about this particular tent, we consider, it should make for an ok buy. If you just happened to arrive on this website while looking for a new tent having not heard of this manufacurer or this model previously, it is probably a good idea to look at a few more similar tents.

Value for money: When contemplating value for your dollar, this tent is on a par with the average price of all the one hundred and fifty-four, four-person tents we have taken a look at, this itself does not make it good value for money. One should also take into account other things in-depth, as we do for each tent.

When we tally up the ratings of a single tent, we consider plenty of things, finding things where the tent could shine against other near-identical tents and where it is lacking. In this case, with an overall rating of 3.9 and the price statistics above, one can conclude that with a ticket price of $649.95 Big Agnes's Copper Spur 4 HV UL is a fair bargain the purchase price is not overpriced when compared with similar tents.

Its ratings show that the quality and size, the tent provides make it a a good buy for people searching for for a nice 4-person tent. It is also worth thinking about the fact that it is marked down by 0% from the manufactures suggested price. It should make a decent choice for nearly all campers looking for an adequate three-season backpacking tent to camp with, that should serve you well.
