Ultralight tent floors are engineering marvels until you pitch on scree or that one campsite that's basically just roots and rocks. Big Agnes' Copper Spur UL Bikepack Footprint shields your tent floor from the inevitable punctures and abrasion that come with proper adventures. Custom-made to fit each Copper Spur UL Bikepack model exactly, it adds minimal weight whilst providing significant protection and extending your tent's lifespan. The footprint also enables fast-fly setup – just rainfly and footprint for lightweight shelter when you want minimal faff at the end of a big day. Far cheaper than replacing a tent inner, and far less aggravating than discovering a puncture when you're already cold and tired.
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.
