Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Bikepacking Tent Long-Term Review

[@wa2804]

I use the daisy chain to secure my solar panel and/or to dry my underwear or swimming trunks in the direct sunlight.

Enough about the color! Oh my God I had to turn it off.

Interesting long-term review and personal opinions. Would have loved to get a bit more in depth review ... I don't think it's a problem to stick the red part of the pole in the "darkorange" part of the tent or the silver part pf the pole into the grey part of the tent. I don't think there is much of a intellectual translation process to do or a lot of room for user mis-interpretations. I understand that under extrem conditions thats annoying. Is this really an issue of the design? How to anodize aluminium in the same color of plastics anyway? Taste or the choice of color coding/combinations makes it not a 'bad design', perse. If people want to find something, they will find something. What about the other parts of the design? Packing/Unpacking? Packabilty? Reliability? Repairability (parts still available)? Washability? Noises (in wind/rain or while sleeping)? Dry time? Usability (netings and pockets)? What is your real (and complete) verdict on those topics? I'm curious to know! Greetings Ben

Thanks for the comment! Ok I'll keep what you said in mind and may do another video about it but all of the things you mentioned with this tent are totally fine, as I think they should be for a tent that retails around $500 or so. It is a very nice tent to sleep in, it's definitely waterproof and it packs like pretty much any tent I've used with the caveat that it being asymmetrical means that you can't simply fold it in half but have to fold it in on itself first, but I think that most tents are like that these days. I think I also did mention that it's a light tent for it's size which is a plus. I guess I could have mentioned that the bag is nothing special but it does the job and I have no complaints about the functionality and performance of the tent as a shelter, my issue is that at this price level I think that some little details have just been either overlooked or intentionally not accounted for at the expense of design. I get that it's not a big deal to everyone but I really think that when you're out in the woods the little things can become incredibly annoying, in the case of this tent that's the fact that you can't really undo the buckle that holds the doors open one handed or without looking at it and the colors that make it inconvenient/not 100% intuitive to pitch.

@@spinningtrue Thank you for your detailed answer. This helps me with the purchase decision. I think you're right, there are some things you should expect for a high-priced tent. All other features sound very interesting and good, for a tent for bike traveling. Thanks & greetings Ben
