Big Agnes does not publicly disclose what water-repellent chemistry treats the Copper Spur UL2's nylon fabric. Most outdoor tent water-repellent coating treatments historically rely on PFAS-based compounds like C8 or C6 fluorocarbons, though some brands now use alternatives.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
