Winter weather can be harsh, but when the digits drop yours don’t have to feel the chill. Made from a combination of New Zealand's brushtail possum fur, and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool, these Fingerless Brushtail Possum gloves provide plenty of warmth when you need it most.

These fingerless gloves allow you to easily use your smartphone, open snacks or water bottles, and make removing stakes on cool mornings a breeze.

These gloves are a great companion to the Brushtail Possum Socks, and can be used as a liner under our Vertice Rain Mitts

*Gloves are non-returnable if they have been removed from the packaging.

Very happy with purchase! No complaints - high quality and durable as all Zpacks products are!

Your tent protects you every step of the way, from harsh rainy nights to dew dropped mornings. Shield your tent floor from unnecessary wear and tear, and add longevity with a flat groundsheet.

Our tent floors are reasonably durable as-is but an extra layer doesn’t hurt for peace of mind.

These groundsheets are sized to fit the indicated tents. They are intentionally several inches narrower and shorter so that they don't stick out past the bathtub floor and collect water.

This is also available as Poncho which also doubles as a pack cover.

A few weeks earlier, I would have just lived with a cold head. But not now! For almost no weight and a tiny amount of space in my pack, I put up a strong defense against hypothermia. Another great product!

This is the hardware that comes with a Flex Pole Kit.

The Flextail Zero Sleeping Pad Pump is a game-changer for backpackers! Say goodbye to the chore of manually blowing up your sleeping pad and prevent moisture and mold from building up in your pad.

We know that in the world of backpacking, every ounce counts, and every inch matters. That's why Zero Pump is crafted to be the lightest and tiniest outdoor pump out there, designed to trim down the weight of your pack and swiftly inflate your sleeping pad.

This bad boy is smaller than a Snickers bar, with a packed weight around 2 ounces including the 1.2 oz pump itself plus the included USB-C rechargeable battery, and a nozzle to fit your specific sleeping pad.

The Flextail measures a compact 1" x 3" (about 2.5 x 7.5 cm). Yup, you heard it right – smaller than your favorite candy! Say goodbye to bulky gear hogging up space in your backpack, Zero Pump has got your back!

FlipFuel® allows you to transfer fuel from one canister to another. Consolidate partially empty canisters into one full one for longer trips, or portion off only the fuel you need into a smaller canister for shorter trips.

An efficient stove like the Soto Windmaster only uses about 1/4 ounce (7 grams) of fuel per 2-cup boil. There is no point of carrying significantly more fuel than you need for your trip!

Weigh your canisters when you first buy them and write the full-weight on the can. Then you can calculate the weight of the canister itself and know how much fuel is remaining.

Before transferring fuel, place the receiving canister in a freezer for several minutes to shrink the contents, and place the giving canister in the sun to expand the contents.

On my first backpacking trip with this item we had some very wet weather and I repeatedly found uses for this very light but super practical sit pad. It’s comfy to sit on but was also handy for kneeling on when dealing with wet gear or having a clean/dry place to put things on. Everyone in my family wants one now!!”

When it is time to stop for a meal or to relax and take in the views, our Foam Sit Pad will give you a dry, comfortable seat anywhere. This ultralight foam sit pad folds down small so that it is easy to pack. It fits nicely in the base-straps on our backpacks, or in an exterior pocket. You can pull it out on breaks to keep your butt dry and padded, or tuck it into the foot of your sleeping bag for padding under your feet at night. It is blue on one side and black on the other.

This pad is included as back padding with our Nero backpack and Sub-Nero backpacks.

This is the shoulder strap item that is bundled with our frameless backpacks. It does not include load lifter webbing.

Keep your groundsheet from blowing away or shifting out of place by attaching it to your tarp. This kit allows you to attach our bathtub groundsheets to our Hexamid Pocket Tarp or any other tarp. This set includes 6 elastic loops, each with its own mitten hook and cord lock.

Loop the elastic bands on to your groundsheet. Attach the elastic loops to the corners of your tarp, then clip the mitten hooks to the loops on the corners of your groundsheet, and cinch the cord lock to keep the lines tight.

Attach an additional elastic to the front center loop on your groundsheet to allow you to wrap it around your tent/trekking pole.

*If your tarp does not have loops that can be used to attach the elastic, consider adding Stick on Loops.

LOVED the poncho on my 500 mile section of the PCT this year... it's one of my top 5 favorite pieces of gear!!! I used it in a downpour at the northern terminus as I completed 7 years of section hiking the PCT.

Get the most out of your gear with our groundsheet poncho. A dynamic 3-in-1 piece of gear; poncho, packcover, and groundsheet. This piece of gear can be used in tandem with our Plex tents or other tent models as a Flat Groundsheet. 

Be sure to check out the rest of our Rain Gear.

The Hexamid Bathtub Groundsheet is sized to work perfectly with the Hexamid Tarp or the Hexamid Tent. It has 6" (15.25 cm) tall walls around the perimeter to protect from ground water and rain spray.

It has loops at the six corners and can be attached to the corners of tent or tarp with six included adjustable cord-hooks. The cords keep the walls elevated, position it recessed from the perimeter, and prevent it from sliding or blowing around.

The groundsheet can be removed easily to sleep under the stars, or to dry the shelter and the groundsheet faster separately.

When used with the Hexamid tarp, the front center cord-hook wraps around your trekking pole. When used with the tent, the front center hooks directly to the screen door and the sixth cord is not needed.

Made in the USA from ultralight, waterproof, durable .75 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric.

So freakin light and packs down to the size of a softball. The doors are awesome and there is plenty of room inside (I’m 5'10").

**This tent has been replaced by our newer Plex Solo Tent. It has a similar design except with a sewn in floor, more headroom, and lower weight compared to the Hexamid Solo with Solo Bathtub Groundsheet.

Every company has an origin story and the Hexamid Solo Tent is part of ours.

Originally tested by Joe on his 2009 CDT thru-hike, this ultralight six sided pyramid style shelter protected him all the way from Canada to Mexico; withstanding blizzards in the San Juans, the exposure of the Wind River Range, and the solitude of the New Mexican desert.

It is a perfect tent for an average size solo hiker, having a fully enclosed screen, an optional detachable bathtub floor for versatility, and storm doors that provide 360° rain protection.

The Hexamid tent is back, and updated for our 20th anniversary! 

The Hexamid is made for hikers who would rather sleep under the stars. The updated design features a floorless screen perimeter which must be combined with an optional bathtub groundsheet or a bivy. This is ideal for dry environments such as the Pacific Crest Trail where most nights you can sleep under the stars with your groundsheet alone, and only sometimes need rain and bug protection. 

Originally tested by Zpacks' founder, Joe Valesko, on his 2009 Continental Divide Trail thru-hike, this ultralight six sided pyramid style shelter protected him all the way from Canada to Mexico; withstanding blizzards in the San Juans, the exposure of the Wind River Range, and the solitude of the New Mexican desert.

The loops fit my pack perfect and my ice axe perfect. What can I say...they’re perfect!

– Jerry C., ★★★★★

When your adventure calls for traveling along snowy ridgelines or climbing icy peaks, the ice axe loops are the perfect addition to your backpack. A pair of loops are attached at each side of the pack for securing two ice axes. The head of each axe secures through a loop at the bottom, and the handle is kept tight at the top with a shock cord band. The loops can all come off when you aren't carrying axes.

The Itty Bitty Ditty Bag is designed for long-distance hikers who like to keep things light and organized. Made from durable Ultra 100X material, this ultralight powerhouse shrugs off the bumps and bruises of the trail while weighing practically nothing.

It’s got space for all your essentials—soap, conditioner, toothbrush, deodorant, hair brush, tampons, you name it—keeping your self-care game on point no matter how far you roam.

Toss it in your pack or clip it to the outside, and you'll barely notice it’s there, until you need it. And when you do, everything’s right where it should be. Minimal fuss, maximum function, all wrapped up in a sleek, adventure-ready design.

*Toiletries not included.

Held 5 days of food easily. Could hold a lot more. Compacts down to size you are carrying. Love the ease of the roll top snap closure. Is so lightweight and sturdy. A simple luxury to make things flow best on trail.

– Deborah S., ★★★★★

Our food bags are made from thicker 1.6 oz/sqyd Dyneema®​ Composite Fabric to stand up to the abuse of bear bagging and to resist abrasion from heavy, pointy food items. The fabric is strong enough to discourage most small rodents but should still be hung out of reach over night.The “Large” size food sack can hold about 5-6 days of food.

The rectangular shape fits well in all of our backpacks, either standing vertically or sideways depending on the pack volume. The wide opening makes it easier to dig through the bag and find what you need.

This is also available as part of a Bear Bagging Kit with cord and a rock sack.

If you don’t need as much space for shorter trips check out our 3-4 day Big Food Bag.

It’s tough and does everything you’d want. What more is there to say? Kept my stuff dry in record breaking rains in Arkansas on Eagle Rock Loop.

– Michael N., ★★★★★
