Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Tent
Only one whitelisted tester — Digital Trends — has a hands-on review, and it covers the Copper Spur HV UL2 mtnGLO (the LED trim of the same base HV UL2 tent, identical construction, dimensions and setup). It was field-tested across a full Pacific Northwest season for the 2017 Outdoor Awards (republished 2023-04-25). Digital Trends praised the fast pitch, durable ripstop, and interior LEDs, but called the tent snug for two. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Fast, easy pitch — up in 4-5 minutes with the rain fly; Interior LED light strip lights the whole tent and is barely visible from outside (mtnGLO trim only); Durable ripstop nylon that held up over a full season of field use.
Flagged: Interior is snug for two occupants.
