Very well designed | |
| Rating: |  |
| The Copper Spur SL 2 is a well designed and highly useful tent for those who desire a sturdy, light, but highly functional ultralight for backpacking. After copious research my decision came down to either the Hubba Hubba XP or the CS-SL2. Both tents represent some of the best overall design, performance, and functionality in a lightweight two person backpacker tent. I went with the Copper Spur SL2 and have no regret. The workmanship on both tents is of a high standard. As of this review I am still a short term user and really need a full season for a complete review but I have been backpacking since 1974 and the Copper Spur design has managed to addressed nearly all my thoughts on how to improve a lightweight 2 person tent. Several more active backpacking seasons will atest to whether this tent is as durable as it should be. Every ounce counts for me and true to form I put the CP-SL2 on a very accurate scale and found the packed weight to be 3 lbs and 12 ounces. I am 200 lbs and 6 feet 1 inches tall and it still has enough room for my teenage boy scout son and I to sleep comfortable, warm, and dry. If a backpacker desires more room they will have to settle for more weight and bulk. I have not had problems with the center tent pole extending too far out from the doors. The center pole was well designed to be optimal for rain fly coverage and gear storage under the vestibule. I agree with one of the reviews that state that it is unfortunate that such a tent of this quality is not produced in the U.S. The same can be said for nearly all of the other high grade tents too including the Hubba Hubba tents. However, Big Agnes has produced a gem of a tent. I hope this review is useful for others. | |

My new backpacking tent | |
| Rating: |  |
| I was looking for a lightweight 2 man backpacking tent and this one fits the bill. I took this on a 3 day bike trip on the White Rim Trail and it held up well. It stood up to the 20-30 mile wind gusts and was easy to put up and take down once you have done it once or twice. No problems with condensation (seems to "breath" well) and nice headroom. The floor space is a little more cramped than our 2 man REI tent, but not overly cramped and well worth the weight savings. Two Thermarests fit perfectly on the bottom - but pretty much leaves no extra room at all. LOTS of vestibule space (on both sides - large enough for 2 backpacks, boots and a little more) and the two doors were nice to have - especially when trying to pick out a spot for the tent (i.e. not stuck making sure the one door is in a specific place). When we could use both doors, it was nice to not have to crawl over your tent mate to get out. Didn't seem to have any problems with sand even though the top of the tent is mesh, but we kept the fly on and the tents were mostly set up at night when the wind pretty much dies down in the desert. Biggest drawback is I was REALLY disappointed to see this tent was made in China. I expected better out of a Colorado based company like Big Agnes - especially considering the price. | |

Love the tent | |
| Rating: | |
| Had to replace my REI quarterdome UL2, which I loved. The new version had many changes that I did not like. The Copper Spur has the features of the the UL2 plus more. I do not like a tent that is all mesh, because when the wind comes up I feel unprotected as it blows under the vestibule. The copper spur has just enough solid fabric around the bottom to be enclosed but enough mesh to breathe well and give great ventilation. It is a snap to set up, and I like the rainfly clipping onto the tent rather than placing the grommets under the poles of the tent. On my first trip into the desert we had monsoon rains and very powerful winds. The tent held up well and no water came inside the tent, and the vestibule provided dry protection for my gear. It weighs less than my former tent and was comfortable for two people (both female, might be a little small for large men). The crossbar on top gives more headroom than a dome tent. | |

"Thoughtful, functional design" | |
| Rating: | |
| The design is well thought out--right down to the tiny details: the grommet tags (where the poles attach) are color coded, so when you put the fly on, you simply match green to green and black to black so no wasted time trying to figure out which way the fly goes on. The dual doors on the SIDES rather than the front is a great feature. My husband inevitably gets up at least once at night and this way, he has his own door and doesn't have to disturb me to leave the tent, it also means each of has our own vestibule for our packs. Set up almost instantaneous with the clips. The ridge-pole design gives great headroom, perfect for sitting up in the middle of the tent. | |

This is a Great Tent!! | |
| Rating: | |
| I used this bike camping last Saturday night. Easy to set up - only two poles, and the corners to the fly, tent & footprint are color coordinated. My wife and I had plenty of room. The two large vestibules were perfect for both gear & cooking. Can't wait for a clear night to enjoy the stars through the large mesh ceiling. Get the footprint. The lines & tabs reflect in a flashlight beam. Smart design. At only 3 1/2 lbs. this is one great tent! | |

Awesome Tent | |
| Rating: | |
| Went on a week bike tour in Arizona and Utah last week and the tent was very roomy and set up quickly. We had to do some stealth camping and it was nice not having a bright rain fly for everyone to see. One draw back was that we had some high winds and the steaks didn't hold the vestibule down at all, so it was flapping in the wind. Other then that the is awesome. | |

"Awesome tent." | |
| Rating: | |
| My buddy had this tent on my last backpack trip. It performed great in 20 mph winds and a sleet storm in James Peak Wilderness Colorado. Of course, I'm still a little bias towards my Marmot Aura, which also performed flawlessly. Plus the Aura's color is cooler! Haha. | |

"Tall people beware, not actually 90" long!" | |
| Rating: |  |
| I have yet to actually take the tent out on any trips but after setting it up at home and getting inside of it I noticed that it seemed much shorter in length than what Big Agnes claims. So I got out a tape measure and at most it's 85" long (closer to 80" in length on the inside, yet the feet and head width match Big Angnes' specs of 42" and 52") which is extremely frustrating and disappointing. I'm 6'4" so I chose this tent based on it's claimed length. In my sleeping bag there's no way that i'll be able to lay comfortably and not touch the walls with my head and feet. I'm going to look into other tents as there are lighter tents out there from MSR that are hopefully as long as they claim. | |

Almost | |
| Rating: |  |
| Its only major drawback, extremely disappointing for me, and ultimately making in useless in a practical sense was some type of chemical residue coating all the fabric parts of tent. I assume it has something to do with waterproofing. You can feel it on your hands after handling the tent which was a bit disconcerting. That alone I could deal with but this residue makes the fabric stick to the poles when erected so that any light breeze makes the fabric emit popping noises as it rubs on the poles. This becomes so loud in higher winds 10mph+ that it made it literally impossible to sleep. I can only liken it to sound of very heavy water drops falling from a tree onto your tent, it was torture. | |
