-September 2010-
We just started taking orders again for backpacks, shelters, etc. There is currently a waiting list of about 4-6 weeks. Backpack and tent orders are custom built one at a time, but not necessarily in the order received. If you need your gear by a certain date for a trip just let us know and we will make sure it arrives on time.

Materials and accessory items are in stock and are shipping in a day or two as usual.  Thanks!  Joe & Sheryl
ZPacks Cuben Fiber Groundsheet

Description:

This lightweight durable groundsheet is perfect under any tarp or in the Hexamid tents.
  • Constructed from sturdy 1.5 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber which is lighter and stronger than Tyvek or other similar ground sheet materials. This is the same material that our backpacks are made of; more than twice as thick as the .6 oz/sqyd tent material. It is waterproof and very puncture resistant.
     
  • 3" of material is folded up around the sides creating a bathtub to protect you from ground water and spray. The corners are folded and sewn at the top so there are no seams to seal.
     
  • The perimeter has rolled edges sewn all the way around just like a tarp for extra strength.
     
  • 6 tie out loops at the corners and sides allow you to stake or tie the ground sheet in place if desired. You could also potentially set the solo-plus ground sheet up as a small tarp to sit out some rain.

Size "Solo"

Sized to fit a single hiker and a small amount of gear. A good fit for the Hexamid Solo tent.

28" wide at the ends, 36" wide at the center, 7 feet long, with 3" folded up all the way around. (If the material were laid flat the dimensions would be 36" x 42" x 7.5 feet).

Size "Solo-Plus"
Spacious for a single hiker plus gear, or snug for two. This size might be a bit tight for two people but it is as wide as I can go on the material width without seams. It is a good size for the Hexamid Twin tent.

36" wide at the ends, 46" wide at the center, 7 feet long, with 3" folded up all the way around. (If the material were laid flat the dimensions would be 42" x 52" x 7.5 feet).
Other Notes:
If you prefer a flat ground sheet or want to make your own, Tyvek or Cuben Material are available.

New! I have Black 1.2 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber material on the way soon. The material would lower the weight of the ground sheets by around .8 ounces without much performance difference. Choose Black from the drop down.
