A tent for two who can share the load and value comfort, space and quality - Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL3 Tent - 3 Person, 3 Season

We are a couple that want a tent with a bit of breathing space. That will share the weight of such a tent. That like the small touches that make it a quality tent - 2 way zippers, decent venting, clips that are easy to manage when your hands are cold, color coded poles/clips so there’s no guesswork when it’s pouring it down, a tent you can really sit up in, storage for organizing the chaos, a color that blends with the landscape and doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb - thoughtful touches.

We stopped looking at so-called 2-person tents which must be made for garden gnomes and concentrated on 3-person tents. The Copper Spur UL3 was the best of the lot and we even chose a year old one for the more substantial pegs. New isn’t always better, or more durable. It’s just new. And new still needs to prove itself.

So far just a few nights out and it’s all we wanted. In a couple weeks we’ll have a 2-week backpacking trip across Scotland which we think will be the true test. But, since it’s our 3rd Big Agnes, we probably won’t be disappointed!
