For a tent that packs to the size of a baguette, the Copper Spur is astonishingly liveable. Two riders, two doors, two vestibules, and headroom you can actually sit up in.

The bottom line

Palatial for the weight — until the wind really gets up.

The review

The steep walls and pre-bent pole give it far more usable volume than the numbers suggest, and the packed size disappears into a frame bag. Pitch time is well under five minutes once you know it.

It is a three-season shelter and it behaves like one — in an exposed highland blow you will want guy lines out and a smart pitch. Inside the treeline, it is hard to fault.
