48" Carbon Fiber Tent Pole
I've been impressed with their combination of very lightweight, excellent build quality and utility. I often use trekking poles, but when I don't these work very well. I highly recommend them.
ā William H., ā ā ā ā ā
These ultralight carbon fiber tent poles are the perfect substitute for setting up our tents if you do not use trekking poles.Ā The 48ā size works with our PlexamidĀ (uses 1), DuplexĀ (uses 2) and TriplexĀ (uses 2) tents.
We also have a 32" Carbon Fiber Tent Pole for propping up the head and foot ends of your tent.
Our tent poles are made from high-quality wrapped carbon fiber tubing with internal carbon ferrules. The tubes are stiff and have a high strength to weight ratio.
Straight tent poles are an alternative way to pitch tents and tarps that are designed to be set up with trekking poles. This carbon is rigid, unlike dome-style tent poles.
The poles are cut to fold flush with equal length sections. They are bound together with shock cord. The ends have vinyl end caps.
Our poles have a short folded length, which makes them easy to pack up with your tent (in a tent pole sack).
If you want to use these with a tarp, or on an exterior tent pull out, you might want a trekking pole cup to hold it in place.
If you want to keep your poles organized or protect your tent fabric from the pole(s), add our Tent Pole Sack.
We do not do any carbon cutting, but you can cut these down yourself with a hacksaw or rotary saw. Just cut off the end and replace the vinyl end cap.
All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

Flat Groundsheet
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 doesnāt 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.
Bathtub Groundsheet
Tyvek Groundsheet 5' x 9'
I'm always happy to lighten things up in my pack. This durable and strong sheet does just that!
ā Rob S., ā ā ā ā ā
Tyvek "Home Wrap" is an ideal material for ground sheets. It is waterproof, and very abrasion and puncture resistant. Tyvek is stiff, and foldable like thick paper. It will not bunch up or slide around under you like other fabrics.
Fold up the edges and tape the corners to make yourself a bathtub floor for your tarp. Cut it to size using regular scissors to make a tent footprint. It does not fray and you do not need to hem or tape the edges.
This material is white on one side, with a blue and red Tyvek logo printed on the other side.
If you're looking for a lighter and thinner option, consider our 5'x8' Nylo Pro Groundsheet. For an ultralight option with added durability, our Flat Groundsheets made from DyneemaĀ® Composite Fabric are an excellent choice.
Nylo Pro Groundsheet 5' x 8'
Zpacks Nylo Pro Groundsheet is made from the same durable 1mm clear nylon plastic as our popularĀ Nylo Pro waterproof bags.
Nylo Pro plastic sheeting has higher puncture and tear resistance than the same thickness "cross-linked polyolefin" (Polycro / Polycryo) ground cloths that you may find elsewhere.
It won't last forever but is an ultralight way to protect your tent floor without breaking the bank. Cut your 5' x 8' (152 cm x 2.4m) tent footprint to size with regular scissors. AddĀ stick-on loops to the corners for tent stakes if needed.

Sleeping Pad Slide Stopper Set
One "Set" includes two straps, each consisting of a pair Stick on Springless Cord Locks and a 26" (66 cm) length of shock cord which will stretch to fit standard or wide sleeping pads. The shock cord can be cinched snug.
The Sleeping Pad Slide Stoppers easily stick to your desire position on your DCF tent floor. For the best results, attach one strap around where you shoulders typically rest on your pad, and the other strap where your hips rest. Slide your pad under both shock cords and then tighten the cords accordingly.
If you are securing two pads side by side with two sets, offset the patches lengthwise so that the padsĀ sit snug beside each other.
The adhesive on these patches sticks well to the Dyneema Composit Fabric tent floors in all Zpacks tents. It may stick OK to polyurethane coated tent floors. The patches can be carefully peeled off if you decide to remove them later.
Thermarest Z Lite SOL Sleeping Pad
A little thicker than the Nemo. Itās lightweight and does the job quite well.
ā Carl S., ā ā ā ā ā

Factoring in the system of heat trapping dimples, the Z Lite SOL has an R-Value of 2.0, making it perfect for use on its own in warmer weather or layering under another pad for extra warmth in the cold.
The proprietary foams are softer on top for extra comfort and denser on the bottom for extra durability, making the Z Lite SOL an ideal closed-cell foam pad for those in need of an ultralight, highly compact and super-reliable sleep system.
