The tent that made an AK and Ireland go for me.
3 years ago
Quality bikepacking investment! Big boned at 6’2” 200lbs I found this tent a perfect size to rest/recover away from the midges while wild camping along the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland. The tent poles make this bike mount friendly and I found the best spot inside the triangle on the downtube using a Blackburn outpost cargo cage. Highly recommend getting the BA specific ground tarp as it’s easy to line up tent pole holes and keep the entire tent setup tight and neat. The only head scratcher was the seven quality tent stakes included when eight are needed. Durable, reliable, easy setup, this tent definitely beats out the previous bivy bag setup.

Great tent for Bikepack or backpack
4 years ago
Very well thought out tent. One use so far, but can tell it is very well researched and tested. Tent is freestanding and DOES NOT require trekking poles. The ease of set up, gear lofts, (2 of them!), and comfy entry/exit, and the ability to sit up made me the envy of my camp mates. I was really impressed that there was absolutely no condensation build up. I like it so much I plan to make this double as my new favorite backpacking tent (without the sturdy handlebar bag). The pic of awning w/poles is clearly a marketing blunder by BA. You could set up awning with bike handlebar, but I doubt that I will ever use that feature. Pretty pricey, but worth it if it lasts.

One Tough Little Tent
3 years ago
I just got back from a bicycle tour of Northern Norway, north of the arctic circle. I was a little nervous taking a lightweight bike packing tent that far north but the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL1 held up in one of the worst storms I'v ever experienced outdoors. When I went to sleep it was pretty quiet but around midnight I woke to a raging storm with sustained 14m/s (31mph) winds gusting to 18m/s (40mph) bashing the tent 90 degrees to broadside, not the ideal situation at all. It was pouring down rain and in those winds there was no way I was gonna attempt to reorient the tent. I've never seen a tent deform so much but it survived the night with not so much as a drop of rain getting inside. I staked the tent, wrapped the fly velcro around the poles, guyed out the rain fly, and probably most importantly, made sure the cross bar was properly seated in the rain fly. No tears, no leaks, no permanently bent poles. This is one tough little tent. It was so windy, even the ferries from Bodo to Moskenes stopped running. Thanks Big Agnes for keeping a scary night from becoming a scary miserable night.

Love My Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL1 Bikepack Tent
4 years ago
I am extremely happy with my Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL1 Bikepack tent! I will be using it for motorcycle touring/camping, and wanted something well made, light, and packs small. It is very well made, and the set-up is quick and simple. I also purchased the matching footprint which complements the overall design of the tent.

design quirks
3 years ago
the good: the pole system and stuff sack, light weight, small size the bad: the footprint doesn’t integrate well when staking out the full tent system, the asymmetrical shape of the footprint and tent are a nightmare when setting up on a slope in the cold dark and rain, the tiny plastic buckles that easily fill with sand or dirt and then don’t work, the asymmetrical shape of the double zipper door that just doesn’t function the way a tent door ought to.

Super Light but Not Repairable

Bought this to replace my Fly Creek with a torn rain fly zipper. BA couldn't / wouldn't replace the zipper and had no spare rain flys to sell. Expensive lesson learned be careful BA tents are fragile.
