Big Agnes Copper Spur 5 Person HV UL Dome Tent Review

The Copper Spur 5 HV UL has two doors and a maximum center height of 5' 0, which is 24 inches smaller than the average height of the 27 different 5 person tents we have studied. With 65 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 5-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to four other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can generally make a nice choice for campers that welcome spending heaps of time outside exploring the great outdoors.

Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them simple to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will find 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 tops, allowing the rain to pool on the roof. The simplest dome tent should have a rectangular floor, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Below you can browse an account of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 65 square feet, the Copper Spur 5 is smaller than quite a few of the 31 other 5 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 24% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some campers.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Copper Spur 5 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Silicone treated proprietary ultralight double ripstop mixed denier nylon, featuring a solution-dyed ripstop grid with waterproof polyurethane coating, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of qualities to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
