"Love the copper spur for its packability ... volume is way more of a factor bikepacking than it is hiking."
"The reason our crew used them was because they weigh a combined total of 3 pounds, so it only added 1 lb to each person’s pack."
"Paks nicely onto bike."

"always kept me safe from the rain"
"I have and it managed pouring rain and high winds without issue."
"It held up getting clipped by a typhoon camped on the side of a mountain. ... The winds were intense enough that the crosspole very occasionally dipped down and touched me but it was otherwise very good. ... Many other tents collapsed, etc., but it was at a music festival so you can bet it was some of their first times camping. But yeah, that was the one and only time that's ever come close to happening so I would take that more as a positive."

"I have the same one and it's a fantastic tent. ... I'm 6'5 and 230. I sleep with a wide pad and fit great."
"it's hard to change or get dressed when you can't sit up. ... Copper Spur FTW"
"The extra space will mean so much as you move through various conditions and needs. ... The extra space allows you to bring all or most of your gear inside, with an area for boots/shoes etc."

"For short scout trips and for a free stranding tent this cannot be beat."
"They are great tents and you don’t have to use trekking poles for them. ... On the Copper Spur it’s optional. ... Otherwise it’s a normal vestibule."
"Our Big Agnes Copper Spur has worked well."

"it would be pretty cramped if I had to bring my 60L pack inside with me…"
"It's only a one man tent, and I wish I would have opted for the two man tent so I have more room for my gear."
"we wanted to be able to stand and get dressed, as well as have room for an air mattress and a cot"

"would fold down at half the wind speed OP is asking for"
"In my experience I found the copper spur to be a very upright & tall tent, whenever there is high wind the tent does get blown over and flattened out."
"The winds were intense enough that the crosspole very occasionally dipped down and touched me"

"I had a copper spur for two seasons and had to patch the floor multiple times."
"the bottom of the tent is a little fragile ... I damaged mine when i partially set it up in high winds using rocks inside to weigh it down on a rocky surface"

"I have the copper spur and my brother has the dan durston xmid. The xmid is better. It has more room inside and it’s lighter"
"You would, however, save over a pound by switching to the TarpTent Hogback."
"I use the copper spur for overnight/easier riding trips. For actual bike packing / serious miles, I go with an ultra lite HMG mid-1."

"found it such a pain to set up"
"I totally agree. ... I only keep my Copper Spur as a backup."
