The acclaimed Copper Spur UL HV 5 from Big Agnes is the 5 person version in the fully elaborate ultralight series. Super lightweight tents, but designed with great attention to detail. Super-rich with large doors, storage options and designed with perfectly functioning ridge ventilation. Big Agnes shows that comfort and ultralight weight can go well hand in hand. With this tent, you might wonder if this might also be the lightest family tent on the market, 3.32 kg with 2.75 metres width in the inner tent and 152 cm height. In any case, it is a lot of space at a very low weight!
The dome with a hub with high inner volume for maximum strength and no extra weight due to clever pole construction, offers a lovely space to stay in. The doors have vestibules on both sides to enter the tent dry and store your rucksack and wet gear covered. Thanks to the clever door construction with double zip, the doors can easily be converted into a canopy, which provides plenty of shelter from the rain.
The concept is tried and tested for the entire Copper Spur range: super-light tents with an outer tent made of ultra-light double-ripstop nylon, generous door openings, gearlofts at the top and next to your head where you sleep.
And you have all that comfort at a very low weight. If you can take this comtact 1 person tent on your trip for only 3.32 kg (3.19 kg trail weight), why would you actually choose less ventilation and comfort?
