FOUT (4) SEASON TENT.
Yes , I recommend this product
I set the 4 season tent up in my living room. It took a while. I moved everything out of the way as much as possible. It`s nice and big on the outside. And very roomy on the inside. I especially like the gear lofts sewn into the tent walls and ceiling. And the storage pockets on the bottom of the walls. This way when I use this 4 season tent up in Camp Aquahunga in Ten Mile River Scout Camp in Narrowsburg, New York, from Sunday July 13th - Saturday July 19th of this year. I`ll see for myself the greatness of this 4 season tent. I know the information that came with the tent, says 3 season plus. That`s because the two vestibules are about a half inch off the floor. The BIG AGNESS COMPANY should have made the two vestibules go all the way down to the floor. But it`s still good.

Spacious and Well-Designed for 3-Season and Winter
Yes , I recommend this product
I recently took the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV3 Expedition on its maiden voyage to Twin Lakes, CO, where nighttime temps dropped to 35°F with daytime highs around 60°F. This tent impressed me right out of the gate. The interior is absolutely massive; easily accommodating two people with room inside for gear. What really stood out were the thoughtful storage solutions: pockets everywhere you need them and well-placed built-in hooks for hanging lanterns or other essentials. Setup was simple and took about 5 minutes, even on my first attempt. The process is intuitive enough that you won't be fumbling around in fading light. The one tradeoff for all this space and expedition-grade construction is weight and packed size. This probably isn't the tent for ultralight enthusiasts or long-distance backpacking trips. However, if you're planning winter hikes where you need a bomber shelter or doing shorter backpacking trips, the extra weight is worth it for the comfort and durability. This tent is ideal for car camping and short backpacking trips where you want expedition-level protection without sacrificing livability. If you need a spacious, well-organized tent that can handle challenging conditions, the Copper Spur HV3 Expedition delivers.
