More about Copper Spur UL3 mtnGLO
The big difference from the standard model is the integrated mtnGLO lighting, which provides an even and pleasant light throughout the tent. Perfect when you're cooking, organizing your pack or just want to avoid the headlamp when darkness falls. The tent has two entrances and two vestibules, making it easy to share the space and easy to get in and out without disturbing each other. The vestibules provide ample space for packing and can also be set up in awning mode for extra protection and ventilation.
The material choices are premium throughout. The outer tent and floor are made from Big Agnes' proprietary HyperBead™ material, which provides light weight, high durability and reliable weather protection. The construction is also free from intentionally added PFAS, making the tent a more sustainable choice. This is a tent for those who want a lightweight, technologically advanced and very well-equipped option - whether you're hiking long distances, cycling or just want a high level of comfort in camp.
