Packrafting Essentials
Gear up for the water with these packrafting essentials.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.
An optional flat groundsheet is available for added protection here.

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.

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.
