A terrific choice for long hikes in the backcountry, the Copper Spur UL2 two-person tent redefines the concept of lightweight, with a superior space-to-weight ratio that puts other tents to shame. The tent body is made of ultra-lightweight nylon and polyester mesh, a fabric that's lighter than anything Big Agnes has used before.

At the same time, the fabric's high thread count and double-twisted thread ensure strength and durability, helping the tent hold up to rough handling. The Copper Spur UL2 is also fully weatherproof thanks to the ultralight, silicone-treated nylon ripstop fly, which is coated with 1,200mm waterproof polyurethane. Even the floor is lightweight, with the same silicone-treated nylon ripstop construction as the fly.

The lightweight design extends to the DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles, which include press-fit connectors and sturdy hubs. Even better, the single hub/pole blueprint makes the tent remarkably easy to pitch. Just connect the poles, and then use the DAC twist clips to secure the tent body to the pole frame. It's that simple, and lets campers spend their time doing more productive things, like goofing off.

Despite the minimal weight, the Copper Spur UL2 is relatively spacious, with 29 square feet of living space and a pair of vestibules for added storage. Each vestibule includes a D-shaped door and a storm flap over the zipper. The tent also offers several interior mesh pockets, giving campers room to store wallets, books, flashlights, and cell phones in an out-of-the-way location. Other features include a reflective guyline and reflective webbing on the tent corners for nighttime visibility; 10 superlight aluminum J stakes; and gear loft loops compatible with the Big Agnes Gear Loft (sold separately).

Big Agnes is either a rocky peak in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness Area outside of Colorado's Steamboat Springs, a laid-back mountain-town mama, or dependable backcountry gear, depending on whom you ask. The Big Agnes founders think it represents a little bit of each and everything in between. The folks at Big Agnes have spent a lot of time in the Colorado backcountry, giving them a deep appreciation of local history, places, peaks, and rivers. From the Cross Mountain, named after a Yampa River canyon known for classic Class IV/V whitewater, to the Encampment, one of the country's most scenic wilderness river runs, to more obvious choices like the Divide Series, the company names its products after some of the most fascinating landmarks in the region. The spring runoff near Steamboat is also pretty spectacular, so Big Agnes included a few favorite creeks to its name directory, including Sarvis, Deep, Mad, and Lost Dog. The fun product names complement a full catalog of well-constructed outdoor products, which include sleeping bags, tents, pads, duffels, and camping accessories.
