Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 Lightweight Tent, 1-Person

For solo camping trips the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 is one of the best tents on the market. Lightweight, reliably waterproof, and easy to pitch it is an ideal choice for backpacking adventures. From Big Agnes: Since its launch in 2008, the award-winning Copper Spur has been our most popular ultralight backpacking tent. Thanks to our proprietary HyperBead™ fabric, the latest Copper Spur UL is lighter, stronger, and more waterproof than ever! High volume, freestanding design provides ample interior room and the stability to keep you sleeping soundly through the roughest backcountry nights. Fully featured, with design aspects that make the backcountry more comfortable - like multiple gear storage pockets, an awning-style door, and generous vestibule space. When ultralight comfort is the priority, the Copper Spur UL is your ultimate home away from home. What we think: Big Agnes’ introduction of their new proprietary Hyperbead fabric makes the tent lighter yet twice as strong, and is 25% more waterproof than the previous version. Unlike conventional DWR treatments that gradually degrade, Hyperbead is designed to maintain its water resistance over time without requiring reproofing. It’s also PFAS-free, offering a more environmentally conscious construction without compromising reliability in poor conditions. For fans of Big Agnes and the previous Copper Spur UL1, this latest version keeps everything that made the tent such a standout choice while improving durability and weather protection. Spacious, well-ventilated and exceptionally easy to pitch, it remains an excellent option for ultralight backpackers who want low weight without sacrificing comfort or practicality.
