Our Verdict
As materials become ever lighter we are seeing much bigger lightweight backpacking tents offering more comfort, in many cases for less weight. The Copper Spur is a good example of this concept, read the review from Backpacker magazine - the ultralight fabric is combined with great design to ensure a large interior volume.
We think the supplied pegs are a bit heavy - 12g each - and as there are 10 of them the total weight could be reduced by around 70g by carrying a lighter alternative.
