Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 mtnGLO Tent
Skip until Big Agnes discloses water-repellent coating chemistry, waterproof tent coatings commonly rely on PFAS.
The Copper Spur UL2 uses a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coating for weather protection, a category historically tied to PFAS use. Big Agnes provides no public disclosure of the specific chemistry or PFAS status. The mtnGLO glow treatment adds uncertainty about secondary coatings.

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.
