Big Agnes Footprint for Copper Spur UL Tent (5-Person)

Protect your Copper Spur UL 5-Person tent with the Big Agnes Footprint — a purpose-built base that guards the floor and expands how you camp. Designed to pair perfectly with your Copper Spur UL setup, this footprint adds a durable layer between ground and fabric, helping you enjoy more nights outdoors with less worry about wear.

HyperBead ultralight durability

In the UL tent line, HyperBead fabric technology delivers a rare blend of light weight, waterproof performance, and strength. The footprint uses this technology to shave weight by about 6% compared with previous materials, provide about 25% more waterproofing, and offer roughly 50% greater strength — without the need for added water-repellent chemicals. This combination aims to maintain performance with fewer chemical treatments, helping you pack cleaner gear while you hike in varied conditions.

• 6% lighter base protects your pack without sacrificing durability.
• Approximately 25% more waterproof performance for damp sites.
• About 50% stronger construction to resist abrasion under tents and on rocky ground.
• Designed to work without additional chemical treatments for cleaner gear.

Practical camping versatility

This footprint is the recommended companion to extend the Copper Spur UL tent floor life by preventing ground contact, stones, and moisture from directly contacting the floor material. It also opens up a lightweight Fast Fly option when you prefer to pitch a minimalist shelter: you’ll use the footprint, tent fly, poles, and stakes to create a compact, fast-setup shelter. In real-world settings, that flexibility can help you adjust your shelter choice to shifting weather or terrain without sacrificing protection.

• Extends the life of your tent floor by providing a dedicated protective layer.
• Enables a lightweight Fast Fly configuration for quick solo or roadside setups.
