Dimensions misleading (internal)
5 months ago
Floor dimensions are wrong and smaller than listed. I just received the tent yesterday and set it up in the basement to get familiarized with it before taking it out for the first time. Materials and setup are great, however, once I threw my long wide sleeping pad in I noticed the size appeared to be far off of the claimed 90" length x 70"-62" tapered width. My 76" long pad was nearly touching both ends of the tent! I pulled out a tape measure and the best internal length I could get was 84" and that was pressing the sidewalls out significantly, but realistically 80'ish was the real length. Fully stretching and pulling the pole anchors out I was able to get a 90" measurement from pole anchor to pole anchor on the exterior, so I'm guessing they are using that for their measurements. So buyer beware, if you are looking at this thinking there will be more usable space on the inside, be prepared for a much smaller footprint on the inside than listed. For what it's worth, the width measurements were an inch or two short, but if you press out the sidewalls, you can get the claimed widths for the most part. Right now debating whether to return this and try the Copper Spur HV UL3 XL that claims an additional 6 in of length or not or just suffer without the additional space I was expecting.

Performs as expected!
2 years ago
Pricey, but lightweight and super functional. Big enough inside for 2 people, or one person and gear. I’ve used it backpacking twice and car camping twice, and so far it has been great! Holds up to rain and at least light wind (haven’t used in super windy conditions yet). A footprint or tarp or some kind of additional ground cover is a must to protect the thin floor (unless maybe you know you will be staying somewhere flat and soft).

Good tent - as expected, but pricey
3 years ago
Good tent as it should be for $550. Not sure that it could ever qualify as a 3 person, but I think we all know that 2 person means 1 person, and 3 person would follow suit as 2 person. Material is scary thin which is what makes it lightweight but it was very strong and survived a night with 50 mph winds unscathed. I can’t say anything bad about it as it does everything it is supposed other than the price. Never the less, I’m the one who chose to pay the high price and I’m keeping it so ‘nuff said on that. Easy set up and the color coded poles/tent is critical - and genius! Zippers work well and one reviewer noted the door material retainer (tie-backs) were a little under engineered for this price range. I would agree as they are difficult to fiddle with in the dark but the more I used it the less of an issue it was. It’s also very easy to shake out in the morning as that was a daily ritual. Overall, nice tent that did well on an 8 day excursion through southern Utah in early April.

Love this tent

After 10 years of hard use, my Copper Spur 2 let me down when the UV finally destroyed the rainfly. Nothing like buckling in your rainfly and having it rip down the middle. Tried patching and it just ripped more. Since I couldn't find a rainfly replacement that would work, had no choice but to look for a new tent. Decided to size up to a 3-person in the bikepack version. As with other tents, the 3-person is sized well for 2 people. While I usually use as a single, I am anticipating my grandson joining me on the trail so the extra room will come in handy. Despite the extra weight, I love the interior space of this tent along with the more vertical tent walls (a nice design change). The headroom while sitting is great for me (I am 6'2"). The vestibules are well-sized for laying out my pack, helmet, boots, and wet gear. I also like the way the doors on the tent and rainly have changed from the previous version. Makes the ingress/egress much easier. The additional storage webbing inside should make it easy to layout gear for easy access for multi-day basecamp stays. Rainfly buckles and guylines work well for securing the tent. Since I just purchased in late November, I really like the shorter tent pole sections as it will make it easier to store when on the go. I also like the compression stuff sack. Sometimes these things work only for the initial factory packing, but this one does the job. I cannot give any feedback on how well the new dagger tent stakes hold up nor how the tent performs in rough weather. I only set it up to make sure everything was good to go. Yes, this tent is expensive and I am glad I could swing the cost. Big Agnes hasn't let me down in the past and I hope to get the same number of years out of this one. Can't wait for the 2022 volunteer work trail season so I can give it the full test.

Only set it up in my yard, but wanted to offer a positive on the color. Almost didn’t buy because of color. Looks far darker on stock images than what it actually is, which is great. Also, very easy set up.
