Hey Riv-folk,

After extensive research I bought this latest gen Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 tent last year for use backpacking & bike touring with 1 or 2 people. Last winter I found a good deal on a slightly used "Mountain Glow" version of this same tent, which has tiny LED's sewn into the roof seams. So, this new Copper Spur is for sale having never even been set up outside (I did assemble it in my living room when I first got it to check it out). The Copper Spur wins many backpacking "best ultralight tent" shootouts, for whatever that's worth, and Big Agnes design & quality are tough to beat. Features a trail weight of 2lbs 12oz (nearly 1/2 the weight of my previous backpacking tent), 29 ft^2 of floor space, and two doors, each with a 9 ft^2 vestibule.


Link to balanced 2019 review of the Copper Spur (tent in the review is the same orange/gray color scheme as the tent on offer here): https://www.switchbacktravel.com/reviews/big-agnes-copper-spur-hv-ul2

Note: I replaced the 8 aluminum stakes that Big Agnes supplies with 10 new titanium stakes. The 10 Ti stakes are only slightly lighter than the 8 aluminum stakes, but should be much more durable and easier to get in the ground due to being less bulky. The "nail" style stakes are essential for rocky ground and with 4 stakes the tent can be set up with the rainfly fully staked out. Photo of Ti stake package attached.

Cheapest price currently for this tent new on eBay is $375 shipped.
Will sell new tent + BA 8 original aluminum stakes (pushed in the ground once testing setup of my Mountain Glow tent) for $355 shipped (in the ConUS).
Substitute never used custom Ti 10 stake package for the Al stakes for $25 additional ($380 shipped).

Cheers & safe riding,

-Jack K.

Last call on the new Big Agnes Copper Spur + titanium stake package before it heads to eBay. Now $350 + $15 shipping. That's considerably less than I paid for the tent alone and I got a pretty good deal on it.

I am tempted but have a nice Fly Creek 

This is a really nice tent. Somebody should jump on this. Does it include the footprint?

No footprint comes with this tent, it's optional and not included with the tent as it comes from Big Agnes. I didn't buy the footprint from Big Agnes for my Mtn Glow version of the Copper Spur tent, instead I made one from Tyvek sheet that is far less expensive, lighter and packs smaller. I was able to buy the materials (Tyvek, adhesive corner tabs, thin elastic cord) for a bit over $20 on eBay. Easy peasey ...
