Copper Spur UL4
by
Big Agnes
The Big Agnes Copper Spur UL4 Four-Person, Three-Season Tent takes care
of you and three friends as you venture deep into the backcountry. UL
stands for ultralight, and this it is, weighing less than most so-called
ultralight two-person tents. Backpacker Magazine took note, and awarded
the Copper Spur UL4 a 2011 Editor's Choice accolades.
Price: $599.95
Features
- Citing this Editors’ Choice winner, the April 2011 Backpacker asked, “Where are the smoke and mirrors? This family-size tent weighs the same as some 2-person shelters”
- 2 large doors each with a vestibule provide easy access and gear storage
- Hub/pole design with H-Clip connectors attach tent body to cross pole and DAC Twist Clips attach tent body to pole frame; both contribute to a quick and easy setup
- Light yet strong, DAC Featherlite® NSL poles with press-fit connectors and lightweight hubs are anodized without the use of harmful acids
- Mesh body and roof vent offers excellent ventilation to keep condensation from building up
- Rainfly is made from ultralight silicone-treated, ripstop nylon with a waterproof polyurethane coating
- Lightweight fabric has a high thread count and double twisted thread for strength and durability
- All seams taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape (no PVC or VOCs)
- Interior mesh pockets keep your gear organized and up off the tent floor; gear loft loops allow you to add your own gear loft, not included
- Reflective guyline and reflective webbing on tent corners enhance nighttime visibility
- Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guyline/tighteners
- For a lightweight setup during nice weather, leave tent body behind; use footprint (sold separately) with poles, fly and stakes
- Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only
