Big Agnes is a household brand in the US but only recently made its way across the pond. The outdoor manufacturer produces all sorts of outdoor gear but is particularly famous for its ultralight tents, sleeping bags, and mats. The brand recently introduced a new material innovation called Hyperbead, which is now featured in many of its ultralight tents, such as the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 XL, which I’ll be reviewing here.
The Copper Spur UL3 XL is the larger version of the standard three-person Copper Spur backpacking tent. It offers a more rectangular (non-tapered) shape and more headroom. And it does it all without adding any bulk (at least, not too much), keeping the weight of a spacious three-person tent just over 1.5kg.
