Big Agnes | Copper Spur UL3 XL

three-season, freestanding, ultralight tent
Since its launch in 2008, the award-winning Copper Spur has been Big Agnes' most popular ultralight backpacking tent. Thanks to their proprietary HyperBead™ fabric, the latest Copper Spur UL is lighter, stronger, and more waterproof than ever!

The Copper Spur UL XL series is perfect for campers who prefer more space for themselves, gear, or four-legged friends! With an extra 6-8" of length, 2" of width, and 3-4" of head height, the XL models feature even more room to spread out than the standard Copper Spur UL.

High volume, freestanding design provides ample interior room and the stability to keep you sleeping soundly through the roughest backcountry nights. Fully featured, with design aspects that make the backcountry more comfortable - like multiple gear storage pockets, an awning-style door, and generous vestibule space. When ultralight comfort is the priority, the Copper Spur UL XL is your ultimate home away from home.

*Trekking poles and footprint sold separately

Tent and Footprint Cleaning and Care Instructions:

Storage:
Always make sure your tent is dry and free of debris before storing. Fold and roll your tent a different way each time to avoid permanent creases. Store in a cool, dry place. Never leave your tent in hot temperatures (such as a car trunk or attic space) for long periods of time, as it will damage the material coatings. Storing your tent damp can result in mildew growth, which may cause your tent to smell, leak, or delaminate. Mildew damage is not covered under warranty.

Cleaning:
For light cleaning, sponge the product with warm water (not hot).

For more thorough cleaning you will need:
-Wash basin (or bath tub)-Warm water (not hot)
-Waterproof Gear Cleaner (Big Agnes recommend products like Nikwax Tech Wash)
-Sponge

1. Submerge your gear in warm, clean water. Gently agitate with hands. Empty dirty water. Repeat until most of the excess dirt/grime is removed and water is mostly clear.
2. Apply waterproof gear specific wash and gently work into fabric with sponge. 
3. Rinse gear thoroughly. 
4. Hang it up to dry.
5. Triple check that your gear is completely dry before storage or use.
*Do not dry clean or machine-wash. Detergents and dry cleaning solvents will damage the fabric and ruin waterproofing. 
*Never use hot water, bleach, liquid detergents, or dishwashing liquids. 
*Allow to dry COMPLETELY before storage or use.
*Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as UV exposure can compromise waterproofing.

Seam Sealing:
Big Agnes tents are seam sealed as part of our manufacturing process! This seam tape alone is durable enough to prevent water leakage. Any seams that have been taped do not need to be seam sealed with a liquid sealer unless you want extra protection. Make sure the seam-sealer is completely dry before re-packing your tent. Damage caused by misapplication may void warranty.

Zippers:
Keeping your zippers clean will help keep the coils and sliders from wearing out. If filled with dirt, vacuum or brush zippers before storing tent. We recommend Gear Aid Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant.

Repairs and Warranty:

All Big Agnes tents are guaranteed against manufacturing or material defect.  They do not warranty products damaged from normal wear and tear, alteration made by owner, misuse, accidents or damages caused by uses other than intended. Damage due to misuse, normal wear and tear, or improper care may be repaired, at the discretion of Big Agnes, at a reasonable charge. Tents returned for repair must be clean and free of debris.
