Great tent - Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 2 Platinum Tent - 2 Person, 3 Season

Fully freestanding is what makes this tent so awesome. Two large vestibules, side entry, great headroom, and good quality materials are icing on the cake. The sides are held taut and flat to the ground; no flapping, sagging, or floor/side wrinkles like the BA Fly Creek. It’s basically a miniature car camping dome tent. I’ve backpacked with tarps, tarp tents, single wall tents, and double wall semi-freestanding tents, and none compare to the easy set up and protection offered by the Copper Spur. It is worth carrying the extra weight for the headroom alone and to never again set up a semi-freestanding tent short a corner stake because of rocks. I would rather have not had the “awning” feature, it is more trouble than it is worth. The tent in its bag is a little large and takes up valuable space, so I carry the poles and stakes on the outside of my pack and the tent inside. I love this tent.
