Big Agnes Tents - What's in the Range
The Copper Spur UL series is the core of the Big Agnes tent range and one of the most consistently well-regarded ultralight tents on the market. Fully freestanding, double-walled and available from solo through to three-person configurations, it's built for people who want to move fast and sleep well - without carrying a tent that punishes them for it.
All current models use HyperBead fly fabric - lighter, stronger and more waterproof than the previous HV UL generation, with a 1500mm hydrostatic head rating and no added PFAS.
The range stocked here includes:
- Copper Spur UL1 - solo backpacking, 1.02kg, two vestibules
- Copper Spur UL2 - two-person, 1.19kg, the most versatile option in the range
- Copper Spur UL3 - three-person or two-person with extra space
- Copper Spur UL2 XL / UL3 XL - extended length for taller users
- Copper Spur UL2 Bikepack / UL3 Bikepack - shortened pole segments for handlebar and frame bag storage
For UK conditions - particularly exposed pitches in Eryri (Snowdonia), the Glyderau or open ridge camps in Bannau Brycheiniow - we recommend pairing with the relevant Copper Spur Footprint and carrying two or three extra stakes beyond the standard kit. The tent handles variable weather well, but additional anchoring makes a real difference in wind.
