Review Summary
2025-07-09T20:00:00
My last tent was a Copper Spur 2 designed by Jake Lah. I had two complaints: structural stability and durability. The design of the CS1 simply doesn't scale to the 2. The 2 would blow completely flat in even a moderate wind unless each and every guy line was tied down - and there are a LOT of attachment points for which Big Agnes does not supply line. Buy and bring paracord. As to durability: it had the shortest life span of any BA tent I've owned and I've had at least five. The zippers blew out after just two seasons on both doors despite best efforts to keep them clean and functional. The fabric had multiple abrasions and rips on the tent WALLS. It's true that BA doesn't make great tents for desert adventures. But I keep using them because of their SIZE. Still, if you're going to use them in the desert, just know that it won't last long.

Easy to set up and best value of low weight for a reasonable price. Reduced over two pounds from my previous tent.

Love the new double ripstop materials that's more stretchy and more water repellent. Super light, fast setup and love the fly vent. Pole sections are about 1.5" longer than the ones for my Tiger Wall UL2 so have to go inside main compartment and slide into sleeping bag compartment instead of the "tent pockets" on the outside of my pack.

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
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
Apply waterproof gear specific wash and gently work into fabric with sponge
Rinse gear thoroughly
Hang it up to dry
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 their 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. Big Agnes recommend Gear Aid Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant.
