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 lightest of the light, our sub-12oz Plex Solo is easily the lightest full-featured one-person tent in the world. Designed for adventurers who value weight but aren't willing to sacrifice performance or comfort, the Plex Solo is the ultimate shelter for weight-conscious hikers looking to redefine boundaries and push limits.

Easily pitching with a single 52" (132 cm) trekking pole or tent pole, the Plex Solo Lite has a small footprint that can squeeze into the tightest backcountry campsites.

Available in two different Dyneema® Composite Fabric canopy and floor weights.

Super light and extremely roomy for a 6'2" person! Sets up very quickly and durably minimalistic! In essence perfect!!

The Altaplex Tent is a larger, taller version of our popular Plex Solo Tent. It is designed for hikers who enjoy the simplicity of a single pole shelter but require more space.

Our Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles will adjust to the minimum required 56" (142 cm) height, and we also have 58" Tent Poles, our Carbon Fiber Staff, or a Trekking Pole Jack if your preferred trekking pole is not long enough.

Our Pivot Solo Tent is another good choice for extra head and foot room with bells and whistles like magnet toggles and zipper storm doors.

The Duplex Lite is engineered for the ultralight enthusiast wishing to cut every ounce from their pack weight. At under 15 ounces, the Duplex Lite is hands down the lightest fully enclosed two person tent in the world.

Relative to our award winning Duplex Classic Tent, this version has a slimmed down footprint and our lightest Dyneema Composite Fabric options are standard. It is sized for a small couple on standard width pads, or as a spacious tent for one hiker plus gear.

When it comes to long-distance backpacking, every gram counts, and the Duplex Lite allows weight conscious hikers the freedom to go further, and faster, with a shelter that is roomy, well ventilated, packs down small, and has the features a thru-hiker needs.

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.

The Duplex Classic 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 with a no frills, no fuss mindset, the award-winning Duplex hits the sweet spot when it comes to size, weight, and features. The Duplex was voted the most popular ultralight tent by Appalachian Trail thru-hikers two years in a row.

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.
