Copper Spur UL2 Expedition

I like the Big Angus Copper Spur UL2. I just got back from a 3 day trip with it and it stood up well to wind and rain.

I have been in the middle of wind and hail storm in Texas in the Copper Spur and it held up perfectly. Not sure the issues they had, but wind can dramatically vary.

As someone who is 6’ 10”. I have the Xmid pro 2 and it’s a game changer. I finally can fit without needing to curl up. I had the BA copper spur UL2 prior and it was ok but the xmid is another level.

As a current thru hiker, I would sell both those tents and buy something different with a 2.5lb max weight. Your bivy and tent are too heavy. Save tent weight and reallocate that weight to food. If you can’t stomach a trekking pole tent in either DCF or Sil, then the Big Agnes copper spur UL 2 is all over the trail. The people with Durston trekking pole tents complained for weeks about getting a good pitch, but the people with the x dome do alright with the pitch.

Another vote for the BA Copper Spur UL line!! We have the 2 person and now as a family of 3 plus two mini Aussies we have the 4P. Love these tents, so spacious!!

I found a screaming deal (so I thought) for the Big Agnes Big House 6 at Campsaver last week for $360. Either price is an awesome markdown from the $599 they still get for same tent in the green color. I've had their Copper Spur 2 UL for years and love the BA quality. I've read (here) the orange fly may attract wasps (thus their surplus and discontinued color) but I've never experienced that with my Copper Spur (same color) in the High Sierra. Besides, I only attach the fly when I NEED to (1:6 trips). Best of luck!
