What reviewers say about the 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.

Tested by Digital Trends
Consistently 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
- Spacious solo, with a large mesh ceiling pocket and handy side pockets
Commonly flagged
- Interior is snug for two occupants
Where reviewers disagree Only one whitelisted tester qualified, so no cross-source disagreement can be assessed. Digital Trends' review is overwhelmingly positive; its single caveat (snug for two) is internally consistent. Caveat on scope: the reviewed unit is the LED-equipped mtnGLO variant, so LED-specific praise does not apply to the non-LED base Copper Spur HV UL2, while setup, fabric, durability and interior/snugness observations do carry over.

setup time with rain fly: 4-5 min
we were able to put the Copper Spur up in no more than four or five minutes — rain fly included.
the LEDs softly illuminate the entire tent, providing the perfect amount of light for a late night game of poker
It's admittedly snug for two people, but we were able to really sprawl out camping solo.
