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 Lite 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.

The Plex Solo Lite shares the same dimensions as our standard Plex Solo Tent. It utilizes our proven .55 oz/sqyd Dyneema Composite Fabric canopy combined with a .75 oz/sqyd DCF floor material which is 25% lighter and packs down smaller relative to our standard tent floors. It comes preconfigured with bright yellow 1.3 mm Z-Line guy-lines which saves weight compared to the 2 mm guy lines on our standard tents.

Easily pitching with a single 52" (132 cm) trekking pole or tent pole, the Plex Solo Lite is well-ventilated and can be set up in even the tightest campsites. You won’t find a lighter functional one-person tent anywhere.

An optional flat groundsheet is available for added protection here.

Finally – the perfect single ultralight tent for long distance hikers with standard trekking poles. The Plex solo fits perfect for me. A lot of space beyond an above my head when laying down. Easy to get in and out. Super simple to pitch.

Our ultralight Plex Solo is a sub-15oz tent designed for adventurers who value weight but aren't willing to sacrifice performance or comfort. From thru-hiking to bikepacking to packrafting, the Plex Solo is a spacious one-person tent that allows you to redefine your boundaries and push your limits.

Easily pitching with a single 52" (132 cm) trekking or tent pole, the Plex Solo is well-ventilated and can be set up in even the most cramped campsites.

The "Classic" version of the Plex Solo is made with thicker Dyneema Composite Fabric for both the canopy and the floor, giving you a bit more durability and opacity. They guy-lines are our original 2 mm bright yellow Z-line. If you'd like an even lighter option, check out our boundary-pushing Plex Solo Lite.

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.

This version of our our award winning Duplex tent has a slimmed down footprint with a 40" (102 cm) wide floor. It is spacious for one person with gear, with the versatility to fit two standard width sleeping pads side by side when camping with a partner.

The Duplex Lite utilizes our proven .55 oz/sqyd Dyneema Composite Fabric canopy combined with a .75 oz/sqyd DCF floor material which is 25% lighter and packs down smaller relative to our standard tent floors. It comes preconfigured with bright yellow 1.3 mm Z-Line guy-lines which save weight compared to the 2 mm guy lines on our standard tents.

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.

Compare with our Duplex Classic for a little bit more room and durability or our Duplex Zip which also includes zippered storm doors, peak vents, and magnetic door toggles. Those versions are compatible with our Duplex Flex Kit to make the tent semi-freestanding.

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.

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.

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.
