From Backcountry.com:
"Planning to spend a week or two in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness? Keep your pack weight really low-carry the Big Agnes Copper Spur Ultra Light Tent. Yet you don't have to give up space and comfort to go light: The Copper Spur has two doors and two vestibules so three people can come and go and not get in the way of each other. A mesh top and partial mesh sides allow air circulation for less stuffiness and excellent, bug-free stargazing when the rain fly is off. This three-season tent features tent-pole-making company DAC's super lightweight, durable tent poles. DAC made these poles using an eco-friendly process that eliminates the need for two toxic chemicals and that recycles wastewater. These aluminum poles fit together using Big Agnes' hub-pole system to make setup fast and easy."

"This tent exceeded our expectations. At 7200' we experienced a hail and rain storm that left 4" of hail that gathered at the bottom of our tent and we did not get a single leak.

The vestibules are big enough to protect our large packs and our boots."

"This tent is awesome! Had to replace the old 2 person walrus that is about 10 years old so the cost wasn't an issue as I take care of my gear. It actually weighs less than the tent it replaced! The full packed weight by my digital scale puts it at 4lbs 8oz."

"Great tent. Needed a tent that could handle 3 people backpacking. had done a lot of backpacking years ago as a teen, Now have two boys soon to be teens and wanted to get them some backpacking experience now that they have been camping since born.

While tight, it does work for 3 people, but must have 20 inch pads, no larger."

"Really great tent. Weight is very low, space is high, and it's a snap to set up. Lots of space inside for two and doable for three. Plenty of ventilation and, on a clear night with low light pollution, is that mesh roof nice!

The tent came seam sealed and we put it to the test in the North Maine Woods."
