Copper Spur HV UL3 Bikepack

absolutely love my Big Agnes copper spur . I have to 2p (I'm 6'3") but if could do it over, I'd get the 3p [https://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Copper-Bikepack-Person/dp/B08MWY53HV/ref=sr\_1\_8?crid=HZK57CPBCPO2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4ZLDSs9wfKcqQjzK11BkZFGDkPw7Xn0ml-xwnUc8qOdiscosng2XjqAhVYBU\_vYwTzMeHznvjo3kBLEvhRAfLs9b0JAOzBmcOaTByFqny\_3Ubm6kI07lyBE18Cy5\_xJCa-1OIB1sJ56NRP\_OvPs2pWN3LiVz7x1GdUs3PcRv8-OAUeBUyBnJ--\_tONY2X\_HBHy3G-cPyaM6\_oSwcJxdW\_dMJIvGzZGLpcG39bErdLIo.Bcn-Bd8rpSa6n36VVTwEvQEevc-pP5RKBPKXpK1YZeo&dib\_tag=se&keywords=big%2Bagnes%2Bcopper%2Bspur%2Bxl&qid=1777665421&sprefix=big%2Bagnes%2Bcopper%2Bspur%2Bxl%2Caps%2C315&sr=8-8&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Copper-Bikepack-Person/dp/B08MWY53HV/ref=sr_1_8?crid=HZK57CPBCPO2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4ZLDSs9wfKcqQjzK11BkZFGDkPw7Xn0ml-xwnUc8qOdiscosng2XjqAhVYBU_vYwTzMeHznvjo3kBLEvhRAfLs9b0JAOzBmcOaTByFqny_3Ubm6kI07lyBE18Cy5_xJCa-1OIB1sJ56NRP_OvPs2pWN3LiVz7x1GdUs3PcRv8-OAUeBUyBnJ--_tONY2X_HBHy3G-cPyaM6_oSwcJxdW_dMJIvGzZGLpcG39bErdLIo.Bcn-Bd8rpSa6n36VVTwEvQEevc-pP5RKBPKXpK1YZeo&dib_tag=se&keywords=big%2Bagnes%2Bcopper%2Bspur%2Bxl&qid=1777665421&sprefix=big%2Bagnes%2Bcopper%2Bspur%2Bxl%2Caps%2C315&sr=8-8&th=1)

I just upgraded from my Copper Spur 2p to the same name but bike packing in the 3p. Nothing wrong with my 2p quality wise, just not enough room for me plus all my gear (motocamper so boots, jacket, pants, helmet)

big agnes copper spur HV UL3 is probably the move here. decent headroom bc of the hubbed design so tall adults don't feel like they're constantly hunching, and at like 4lbs it's not gonna destroy your back on trail. three person rating w a 1 year old basically means you actually have room to move around vs feeling like sardines. if budget's flexible the nemo dagger osmo 3p is solid too, slightly heavier but the livable space is genuinely better than the specs suggest. one thing worth knowing — "3 person" ratings are pretty optimistic from most brands so if you've got two tall adults i'd honestly lean toward a 4p if weight isn't a dealbreaker. the rei co-op trail hut 4 is a budget-friendly option that's not ultralight but gives you real space for a family setup.

Plus one for the Copper Spur! Pro tip: get the bike packing version! It sacrifices a gram or two in weight, but the poles fold down half a long so it packs down smaller.

I was not a fan of pricey tents (who is?) but after spending 9 days living in Big Agnes Coper Spur UL3 Bikepack I really can see myself dropping the same kind of money, if not slightly more, for a next tent. Materials, R&D and manufacturing to a standard cost and you really do get what you pay for whether you go with cheap or expensive tent.

Sooooo worth it though ! Copper spur hv ul3 is the best upgrade I have EVER made to my gear set. My husband fits in his marmot tungsten quite well too that he had prior.

It's partly being Canadian. I have a copper spur hvul3, and sure, they are 550usd, but it was 800 CAD (camping gear has gone down a bit since then) and I have the hotel fly. So yeah, 650-700usd, and 1000+ in Canada. Just depends on where you are. He edited with 1400, so 1000usd. If you camp all the time and will use it for years, it's honestly not bad for hobby/sports gear.
