Big Agnes Copper Spur 3 Person Ultralight Classic Dome Tent Review

The Copper Spur 3 Ultralight Classic has two doors and a peak center height of 3' 8, which is 10 inches smaller than the average height of the 139 various 3 person tents we have studied. With 43 square feet of room inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to two other campers all through the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one often make a very nice choice for campers that appreciate spending loads of time outside exploring the great outdoors.

Many of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the other types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the top. The most basic dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Beneath you can see an account of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Copper Spur Ultralight Classic can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Offers you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Big Agnes has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy rain.
6. Other sizes are available. Big Agnes has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
7. Low price. It is a great deal for a 3 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $449.95

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 43 square feet, the Copper Spur 3 is smaller than quite a few of the 139 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 10% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Copper Spur 3 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Ripstop nylon, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
