Plexamid Tent
$549.00Weight 17 oz (475 g)I’ve been using this tent now for over 4 years. We’ve set it up in extreme situations—alpine, windy, heavy slanting rain. It performs excellently in all conditions. Lots of interior space. Highly recommended.
Weighing in at under a pound, the Plexamid is an ultralight and spacious tent designed to help take your hikes to the next level. Whether you’re on a thru-hike or just getting the most out of those two weeks away from the cubicle, this tent allows you to put in extra miles without wrecking your body.
The uniquely designed squared off peak gives this lightweight tent extra headroom while still allowing it to pitch easily with a single 48" (122 cm) pole. The ultra-strong titanium peak structure remains in the tent while still allowing it to pack up small.
The Plexamid is well-ventilated and can be set up in even the most cramped camp sites; making it one of the most functional ultralight tents anywhere.
An optional flat groundsheet is available for added protection here.
**Our newer Plex Solo Tent has roughly the same amount of space at a lower weight and smaller packed size.Plexamid Tent

Altaplex Tent
$675.00Weight 16 oz (437 g)Super light and extremely roomy for a 6'2" person! Sets up very quickly and durably minimalistic! In essence perfect!!
The ideal ultralight tent for hikers up to 6’6”, the Altaplex is the perfect place to wait out the rain on the Appalachian Trail or to recover after a long day of bushwhacking.
Specifically designed for taller backpackers and thru-hikers, this lightweight tent provides ample head and foot room while still easily pitching with a single trekking pole.
A great fit whether you are a triple-crowner or just out for a weekend in the Smokies. This tent is roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, can be pitched quickly, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces. Tall hikers won’t find a lighter tent with this much space anywhere on the market.
An optional flat groundsheet is available for added protection here.
*If your trekking pole does not extend to at least 56" (142cm) you will need one of our Trekking Pole Jacks, 60" Tent Poles, or our Carbon Fiber Staff to set up this tent.
**Our newer Plex Solo Tent has a similar design, sized for an average height hiker with a 52" trekking pole.Altaplex Tent

Duplex Tent
$699.00Weight 20 oz (539 g)How could you not like this? It’s lighter than plenty of one person shelters, but it’s a palace for one, and easily sleeps two. Setup is easy and it’s overall designed well. I don’t think I’ve met any user on the AT so far who doesn’t like their Duplex.
This ultralight tent will allow you to push your limits and hike greater distances; whether losing yourself in the beauty of the Pacific Crest Trail, or weathering an afternoon storm in the Swiss Alps.
Specifically designed for the demands of long distance backpacking, the award-winning Duplex hits the sweet spot when it comes to size, weight, and features.
The Duplex is lightweight, roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, pitches easily, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces. You won’t find a lighter functional two person tent anywhere on the market.
Voted the most popular ultralight tent by Appalachian Trail thru-hikers two years in a row.

Triplex Tent
$799.00Weight 22 oz (622 g)Luxurious amount of room for two, but we crammed three guys in for our trip. Comfortable enough for three large men. Once you get used to setting it up, it's a breeze. It's the best tent I've ever owned.
Whether you’re camping in the Grand Canyon or going on a weekend family hike, the ultralight Triplex 3 person tent won’t be the thing that slows you down.
With a designed inspired by ultralight backpacking and thru-hiking, the lightweight Triplex has a comfortable amount of space for three average-sized hikers or two larger adults with a dog or child.
Storm doors on both sides of the tent provide protection from inclement weather or great cross-ventilation and breathtaking views when left open.
Knowing the Triplex is lighter than most one person tents makes being your family pack mule much easier.
