1  Forums / Bikepacking / Rain Jacket Recommendations on: June 01, 2021, 08:47:44 AM
Looking for the best rain jacket for bikepacking and perhaps one that can also be used for hiking and trail running.  Does anyone have any recommendations of a jacket that works well for you?  I know most cycling rain jackets don't have hoods, but would like one with a hood or hood that can be zipped into the collar so it could be a more versatile jacket for other activities as well.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! 
2  Forums / Question and Answer / Big Agnes Copper Spur UL Classic Tent on: May 12, 2020, 07:21:37 PM
Looking at picking up a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 2 Classic tent for use bikepacking and backpacking.  I'm looking at a tent that I can use for both.  I can get a Copper Spur for a pretty good deal right now and it looks like one of the best tents out there overall.  I need a tent for two (my wife and I), I want a free standing tent with rainfly, relatively lightweight but pretty durable, two doors and vestibules and reliable.  The Copper Spur ticks all of those boxes.  The ONLY problem I see with the Copper Spur is that the length (I'm assuming length of the poles) is 21". It's really the only thing holding me back right now from getting it.  The other tents I'm considering (similar quality, price and features) all have shorter length poles.  Only about 3" shorter, but that might make a difference.  Does anyone have experience with the Copper Spur UL 2 for bikepacking?  If so, was the pole length a problem?  Where do you mount or carry your poles on your bike when bikepacking?  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm not really interested in other tent or sleeping recommendations, unless they meet the preferences above.  Thanks!
