Camp in the mountain ranges like prospectors of old, but do it with the technology of the modern mountaineer when you claim your campsite in the Copper Spur UL 1 Tent from Big Agnes. Sleep yourself with room to spare while your canine traveling companion snoozes in the vestibule; setup is easy with the hub system that relies on ultra-lightweight aluminum poles and DAC Twist Clips to provide a solid shelter that takes minimal setup time and little energy to carry.
The award-winning Big Agnes Copper Spur series has expanded to include a spacious solo offering, the Copper Spur UL 1. Boasting an impressive interior space to weight ratio, the Copper Spur UL 1 is sure to appeal to ounce-counting backpackers who don't want to skimp on creature comforts.

The Big Agnes Copper Spur 1 is a freestanding, 3-season backpacking shelter for a single backpacker—this is a very livable, roomy tent, made with the latest ultralight fabric.
You like some space in your tent and a removable rain fly, but you don’t want to lug 5 pounds of poles, either. Big Agnes designers feel the same, so they created the Copper Spur UL1, an ultralight 1-person, 3-season tent for your backcountry pursuits. This tent features DAC Featherlite NSL poles that DAC made for Big Agnes using an eco-friendly anodizing technique. These lightweight poles hook together using pressfit connectors and hubs, which makes setup a cinch. A small extra door gives you easy access to a second vestibule. For times when you want to shave even more ounces, leave the tent body behind and pack the fly with the Copper Spur UL1 Footprint (sold separately).

The following is a review that is based on comparison to my Eureka SpitFire 1. I still feel that the SpitFire 1 is an excellent tent and best buy for the money! | |

| I went from a Quarter Dome solo tent to this, because the Quarter Dome was too small to comfortably reside in during rain (taking off wet clothes was a nightmare). I was looking at the Big Agnes Seedhouse line to gain some living room but not pick up any pack-weight, but the vestibule on those seem a little awkward for storing gear and cooking in, especially when it is raining. The solo Copper Spur has so much room, it feels like a two person tent and probably could work as one if you didn't mind your feet touching your tent-mates. The main vestibule is very roomy, and fits a 65liter pack in one half along with boots, cooking gear, and with room to spare, giving me a clear path in and out of the tent during the night. However, with all the room inside the tent, I've started keeping a lot of stuff in it with me that I normally wouldn't of had room for. By the way, this tent is amazingly simple and quick to setup and is truly freestanding. My only complaint would be that it is a tad pricey, which almost made me go with something else. However, a few nights in this tent made me forget all about the hit on my pocket book. | |

Luxury | |

I am trying to pack ligher but I still want a bit of luxury in the backcountry. Plus I really, really hate bugs. I carted 30lbs up the Mist trail and was really happy to climb into my new Copper Spur UL1 at LYV. Wow, this is an awesome single tent and feels huge inside. The headroom is incredible. Two might fit in a pinch, but it would be tight and you would have to spoon it. At about 3 lbs including a foot print, it's the best of the light free standing singles(I swapped out the stakes for MSR needles). The vestibule is huge, it has a mini back door and a built in pocket for your goodies. Really hard to knock much about it. A bit of a pain to get in with the fly up, the footprint fits loose and it is spendy. But all in all, it's still an A+. Waking up clean and bug free, watching those dusty dudes who slept of the ground mope about, priceless. p.s. Just did trip two through 20 miles of mosquito hell and a bottom zip door would of kept more of them out. Regardless it's still five stars. | |

| Avid hiker and always looking for the perfect 1 person tent. Many are too small unless you are a midget(no insult to the midget people of the world, I'm just not a midget). Have tried some 2 person tents but they get heavier and upset my ultralight hiking plans.This is the first Big Anges tent I have every bought and I love it.It is roomier than any other 1 person tent I have or have tried(I have several for sale if anyone is interested), is light weight,the price is great as is the quality and most of all I love it. With this tent in my untralight hiking supplies,I can go out for several weeks(or months)and live nicely. | |

Amazing | |

| This tent is great. I've used it for car camping only as of now. I got it to replace my seedhouse sl1. That thing says it's freestanding but takes at least six stakes to set it up "Properly" but, it requires even more. The UL1 sets up with only two if you want to be that lazy. Also this thing is super roomy. I have actually fit in here with my girl and my dog. Great tent. Just wish the door opening on the fly was higher. Also the extra room in the back vestibule is nice for storing gear when you need that little extra amount of room. | |

It weighs just under 5 lbs? The above review is obviously not for this tent. While the tent is nice a roomy, this is one of the lightest solo tents on the market at under 3 pounds. | |

Sleeping in a plastic bag is better | |

| Being fair, let me cover the PROS of the tent: - it is very sturdy - it is light weight - it is very easy to set up - the vestibule is roomy - I had plenty of room inside and could really strech out - vent by your head is a nice touch - it kept the 4 days of pouring rain on the Wonderland trail out of my tent And now for the CONS: - ventilation is non-existant. A vent at the top of the tent is very much in need as it becomes a humidor without it. Granted I was on the wet side of the Wonderland trail yet, in the 20+ years of backcountry backpacking I have NEVER been in a tent with a condesation issue like this. I would have thought that with so much noseeum netting and the head vent that air would have flowed through it better. I had to open the small half dome vent and the door about 1/3 in order to get air flow. On the down side Mike the Mosquito + his entire family and biting/sucking friends used the 'open door' policy to reduce my blood level by a pint. - cannot set up the fly independently of the body. Having this capability is nice as it provides one with the ability to hike ultra light with just the fly; put up and take down the body in the rain while under the fly. I've just purchased a tarp-styled tent which is 1/4 pound lighter, has more room, has independent fly/body and, has two roof peak vents. I met a family on the Wonderland trail at Mowich who had a 1 and 2 person version and both had very little condensation issues which was impressive considering we were camping fully engulfed in heavy mist, rain and smack at cloud formation level. | |
