Our Take

The Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL1 is a standout freestanding solo tent that perfectly balances a lightweight design with a surprisingly roomy, liveable interior.

Its intuitive hubbed pole system and nearly vertical walls make it an incredibly user-friendly shelter that holds up reliably against wind and rain.

Although it comes at a premium price, the thoughtful storage and excellent ventilation make it one of the most comfortable options for serious backpackers looking to cut weight without sacrificing comfort.
