Big Agnes Copper Spur HV Expedition
Best ultralight shelter for groups seeking spacious, durable backcountry comfort.
This is the rare ultralight shelter that doesn't force you to sacrifice livability for weight savings. While the complex pole architecture requires a bit more patience to master, the resulting interior volume and clever awning-style vestibules create a genuine basecamp feel that most lightweight tents simply can't match.
