Award-winning tent, optimised for pedal power
There's a reason the Copper Spur UL has collected more awards than most tents have guylines – it's genuinely brilliant. This bikepack version takes everything backpackers love about the original and makes it work for two-wheeled adventures. The 12-inch Shortstik poles pack down to 41cm, short enough to mount properly rather than bodging to your bike with bungee cords and hope. HyperBead fabric technology delivers a tent that's stronger and more waterproof than traditional coatings whilst actually being lighter. Large vestibules and 3D bins turn dead space into useful storage for panniers and kit. At 1.33kg trail weight, it's light enough for touring without feeling like you're camping in cling film. The freestanding design means you can pitch on whatever improvised spot you find after a long day in the saddle.

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
