Copper Spur Limited 3

25 and 30oz for a 1 person? My big Agnes cooper sour ul 3 person is 40 oz The lightest and best 1P I know of is the zpacks 1P

I actually have both and have used them with my two kids (slightly older Copper Spur 3). Two kids, 13 and 16, and me on 20 inch wide pads. They both worked fine (used the Copper Spur when they were younger). The newer Tiger Wall felt a bit more spacious.

The copper spur 3 is also excellent more weatherproof than tiger wall slightly heavier

Heads up (if you weren’t already aware), the copper spur models are currently 25% off on Backcountry.com - I was also between UL2 XL / UL3 and ended up going with the 3!

Big Agnes is 100% worth it to me. They’ve replaced 2 tents for me and restrung poles for free. I currently have a Seedhouse 2 (replaced a 1 after delamination), a four season something which replaced a seedhouse 2 and a copper spur 3. Recommend them all the time.  Also the $1000 is an extreme weather tent. If your out in winter or serious elements, you don’t screw around with your shelter. 

No I don’t think so. I have the copper spur 3 and have at least 25 nights on it with 2 people in it and no holes. No groundsheet. I also have 2 other 1p UL tents, both with 40+ nights. One got a little hole in the fly area from a spark. Easily patched.

I love my copper spur 3 for backpacking and kayaking trips. My wife and I like a little bit of elbow room , so we got the cupper spur 3. We have a ton of room for 2 people but at the same weight as many other lightweight two person backpacking tents.

I just bought the copper spur 3 and absolutely love it. I have used the copper up 2 (not xl) and use it as a 1 person tent and love it. I would go to the 3 over the 2 xl. The xl is longer, long comes in less handy then wider. I have had no problems with any weather conditions in either of these tents. I think the awning is a little silly it’s really small. That said, I absolutely love that the vestibule opens at the end. It makes it super convenient to get things in or out of the tent. Grab your head lamp out inside pocket without crouching down. They have awesome pockets inside. Love both of these tents.

I kinda had the same thing. We decided to get a 3p tent because our two wide pads were smacking together in the copper spur 2. The whole copper spur line is on sale rn bc of the new hyperbead copper spur. We’re also eyeing a zenbivvy double bed, but that’s very expensive and will only be a purchase I’m willing to make if we end up camping together a lot or one of my buddies takes up cuddling.

Almost everything I've heard is that the non-free standing tents require significant guying out for just a basic setup, and to me, that'd be a lot harder with 1.5 hands. I have a Copper Spur 3P tent and it's pretty easy. One thing that might be a bit annoying is that the zippers often require two hands; one to hold the fabric taut while pulling the zipper.
