I put off buying this groundsheet because of the cost and the odd negative feedback about ill fitting. After completing the 65 km overland track in Tasmania, I’m doing all I can to lighten my load so I’ve ditched my cheap tarp and lashed out. The new groundsheet fits my Big Agnes like a glove and is much lighter in my backpack.
Cons:
- A tad expensive without a discount
Would recommend: Yes

i like it very much and i'm kind of a "same brand" guy where if i buy a tent i like to use the same brand's footprint, or buy the same brand's rain fly for my backpacks but if you don't mind using a generic, you can save some $ by going with one that fits your tent just well enough.
in this case being manufactured for the same tent, of course it fits very nicely.
Would recommend: Yes

A great footprint made just for your big Agnes tent. Very light weight and easy to use. I was thinking no need to use footprint, but after my first camp I come back to CampSaver purchased this footprint and feel even more satisfied with my big Agnes tent.

I haven't purchased a new tent for many years. Fortunately when you buy something good it lasts. I went from backing to bike-packing and I needed e new tent. I've been looking at the BA bike pack specific tents b/c of all their bike pack specific features -- weight, shorter poles, stuff sack, etc., but hesitated on the price. Finally, when CampSaver had a sale I made the purchase HV UL2 w/ foot print. Although I have not used it bike packing yet. I have set it up X2 and it's SWEET. I bought it for bike packing but you can obviously use it for anything. It's simple to set-up and pack away. Light and feature rich. Yes, it's pricy and I would wait to get it on sale. There are other light bike pack tents out there but this tent has the most features . . . so wait and buy the most tent you can, b/c you will not want to buy another one for many years. By the way I plan on carring the tent on my front "drop handle bars" which are 44mm wide and it fits perfect!

I recently replaced my 2011 Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 and footprint with the new 2019 version. Back in 2011, the tent was a considerable amount of money so I wasn't ready to spend more on an expensive footprint. That being said, it made sense to protect that tent investment so I bit the bullet and purchased the footprint. We backpack in a lot of rocky places (AZ, CA - Sierra Nevada, Co, Utah) and I can say it has done a great job protecting the tent floor pan and it has held up well itself. I did make a tyvek foot print that is maybe 2oz lighter, but the BA version is so nice/well made that I carry it on most trips. The 2019 version looks to be made well and I expect it to perform the same/better.
Pros:
- Best protection for you expensive tent, well made, allows fastpitch
- Best protection for your expensive tent, well made, allows for fast fly setup
Cons:
- Tiny bit heavy, a bit expensive
Would recommend: Yes

Matches up well with CS HV UL2 and makes pitching a lot easier with the snap-on design. Made tyvek footprints for previous tents and they never fit or functioned quite right. Looking back, it wasn't worth the effort or cost savings.
Would recommend: Yes

A good addition to protect my tent. Fits a little loose until it is staked out. I wish it fit a little tighter so I wouldn't have to use stakes in good weather. It only adds about 8 ounces to my pack weight.
Cons:
- Expensive and it fits loose
Would recommend: Yes

Bought to use with a Copper Spur HV UL2. Hopefully this footprint will prolong the life of the tent's groundsheet. At only 169g, (around 6oz), it's not super thick or heavy, and folds up to a tiny pack size. It comes folded in a small bag.
Would recommend: Yes

Took this tent backpacking for the first time last week. It handled an overnight 30 mph crosswind pretty well. Seems much sturdier than the old model. Roomier too.
