Shelter Add-Ons

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.

I'm always happy to lighten things up in my pack. This durable and strong sheet does just that!

– Rob S., ★★★★★

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 Dyneema® Composite Fabric are an excellent choice.

Zpacks Nylo Pro Groundsheet is made from the same durable 1mm clear nylon plastic as our popular 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. Add stick-on loops to the corners for tent stakes if needed.

With improved warmth and comfort at no extra weight, the NeoAir XLite NXT solidifies the legacy of its predecessor as the finest ultralight air sleeping pad for year-round backcountry adventures. The refined cutting-edge Triangular Core Matrix™ construction technique integrates with the warmth radiating ThermaCapture™ technology to reduce noise by 83% from the previous model.

At 3-inches thick, with a horizontal baffled structure, the XLite NXT delivers maximum comfort and support at a minimal weight and packed size. Weighing just 12.5 oz (354 g) in the Regular size, and providing a 4-season ready 4.5 R-value, the XLite NXT is the most versatile ultralight sleeping pad on the market and ready to craft better nights under the stars wherever you end up.

The Tensor™ All-Season improves on NEMO’s best-selling original by offering greater warmth for year-round use without adding weight, maintaining its reputation for quiet comfort.

Its Spaceframe™ baffle design provides stable support while two suspended Thermal Mirror™ layers efficiently reflect body heat for a 5.4 R-value, all without the crinkly noise typical of insulated pads. Built with durable 20D/40D nylon, it includes a Vortex™ pump sack that pairs with the Laylow™ valve for quick, easy inflation.

Tensor™ Elite is NEMO’s lightest sleeping pad, designed for ultralight hikers with a gram-saving mummy shape, a 2.4 R-value, and a durable 10D CORDURA® nylon shell that keeps weight to an ethereal 240 grams. Featuring the innovative Apex™ baffle system, it ensures even weight distribution and stable comfort while remaining 3 inches thick, whisper-quiet, and highly packable.

Equipped with a Laylow™ valve, it inflates easily with the included Vortex™ pump sack—though it can be used without it—for a fast and effortless setup on the trail.

Building on the success of NEMO's original best-selling Tensor line, Tensor™ Trail is designed for three-season adventures where weight is the top priority, offering versatile warmth from spring to fall while packing down light.

Its interior features NEMO’s proprietary Spaceframe™ baffle design, which provides stable support with just the right amount of give, while a suspended layer of ultra-thin, metallized Thermal Mirror™ film efficiently reflects body heat for a 2.8 R-value—all without the crinkling noise found in many insulated pads.

Constructed with durable 20D (top) and 40D (bottom) nylon for added protection against punctures and tears, Tensor Trail also includes a Vortex™ pump sack that pairs seamlessly with the microadjustable Laylow™ valve for quick and effortless inflation.

Sleeping Pad Slide Stoppers keep your sleeping pad positioned exactly where you want it on your tent floor. They will prevent your pad from sliding out from under you if you are on a slight incline, or from slipping side to side as you toss and turn. They can also be used to keep a pair of pads snug side by side.

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 pads 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.

A little thicker than the Nemo. It’s lightweight and does the job quite well.

Always a favorite of the ultralight elite, the Z Lite SOL expands upon the performance of the Original Z Lite by adding reflective ThermaCapture™ coating to capture radiant heat and increase overall warmth by nearly 15%.

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.

Pillow was lightweight and perfect height. A good option for a lightweight pillow.

– Linda M., ★★★★★

Relax after a long day of adventure with our inflatable pillow. Designed for ultralight hikers looking to save weight without compromising comfort, our pillow inflates with only a breath or two and features a comfortable crescent shape perfect for back and side sleepers alike.

*This Item is Non-Returnable if Removed from Packaging*

When you've gone so ultralight that you are wearing all your clothing layers to bed but still want a comfortable spot to rest your head the Zpacks Comfy Camp Pillow is the solution!

This camp pillow has ultra-soft Octa® fleece against your face, and is stuffed with six layers of Climashield Apex insulation to give it resilient loft. The insulation can be removed or augmented with other gear items like a down hood and booties.

Elastic bands on the back allow you to attach it to a stuff sack, dry bag, or inflatable pillow to give your head extra lift. An adjustable shock cord band secures the pillow to your sleeping pad to keep it from sliding around.

The pillow folds and rolls to about the size of a soda can, and stays compressed with the shock cord strap to keep you packed size at a minimum.

Check out the rest of our Octa® Fleece Collection here.

Keep your camp essentials safe and easily accessible with our modular dual-pocket Gear Nest. Perfect for keeping your glasses, phone, and other small items organized. Drop in your headlamp to turn it into an overhead lantern.

The triangular shape preserves your headroom when sitting up on either side of the nest.

To install the Gear Nest, simply attach the adjustable hooks to the loops at the interior of our tent peaks and tighten.

All Zpacks 2 and 3 person tents should already have compatible loops at the peaks.

If your tent does not have loops on the interior, our Stick on Loops work great on shelters made with DCF or other, similar, materials.

 

It’s nice to my stakes, which are always pop up and get loose from the top.

– Shizuka K., ★★★★★

Keep your stakes organized, and protect your tent from punctures and dirt with this durable stake sack. This stake sack is constructed from extra thick 1.6 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric to prevent punctures. Fold the top down over your stakes and use the shock cord drawstring to keep them snug like a rubber band.

Quickly fix ripped bug screens with Tenacious Tape Mesh Patches. The kit includes two 3" pre-cut patches that easily adhere to any mesh or no-see-um screens including the ultralight screen found on all of our tents. Simply position the patch over the tear, peel and stick for fast, easy repairs. No sewing or heat required. Great for camping and outdoor gear.

Use the Tenacious Tape Gear Patches as the essential tent mesh repair kit and patch up screens within seconds.    

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.

– Sandy B., ★★★★★

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.

Works great! I hang the bathtub onto my pocket tarp and take it off very easily, it's nice to hold it in place with these little accessories.

– Tou C., ★★★★★

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.

 

The staff is a delight. It’s sturdy, light and easily packed. We’ve tried to think of ways that it might be improved, but we’ve come up short and will just have to keep thinking.

– Jonathan L., ★★★★★

Our Carbon Fiber Staff allows you to support your full weight using two hands on rough terrain, while keeping one hand free on more moderate sections. This staff is an ultralight, extremely strong alternative to Zpacks Trekking Poles. It can fold down for compact packing, or can be folded to the correct height to prop up any of our tents.

Works great, extremely lightweight, and adds living space to the Duplex and Triplex. Highly recommended!

– Justin H., ★★★★★

Need a lift? These fabric cups make it easy to prop up the head or foot of your shelter for more space. You can use a trekking pole with the handle up (out of the mud), or a tent pole, or a stick. The cup catches your pole handle, or tent pole tip securely and without any hassle.

32" (81 cm) Tent Poles are just the right length to prop the head or foot of our tents. Or use a 48" (122 cm) pole at the head or foot of a flat tarp.

One end of the pole cup has a loop that you can attach to any tie out with a lark's head knot. The other end has a Lineloc V sewn on so that you can adjust your guy line.

Additional Cord Not Provided 

I’ve decided to add a few accessories to my Triplex for added convenience. Having used my Triplex on the AT for 4 months, these few additions will make evening and morning routines easier.

– David C., ★★★★★

No more fumbling around in the dark looking for your phone, flashlight, or glasses. Keep all of your valuables safe in one location. This pocket is sewn to a strip of our seam tape at the top edge. Just peel away the paper backing and stick it in a convenient place. The tape sticks really well to Dyneema® Composite Fabric, and will also stick to urethane coated floors. It will not stick to silicone fabrics.

*All new Zpacks tents, with the exception of "Lite" tents already have pockets near the doors by default. These stick on pockets can be used to retrofit older tents, or to add pockets in a different location. They can also be attached to our bathtub groundsheets, or tents made by other manufacturers.

Enhance an older model Zpacks tent, or a competitor’s tent by adding this double-hook apparatus to the doors. These custom made metal hooks are attached to either a Lineloc V adjuster depending on which size cord you wish to use. They allow you to easily unclip either tent door independently, and cinch them tight. Our current tents include these hooks.

The hooks will clip to small D-rings, or they hook nicely to loops made from 2.0 mm Z-Line Cord. Cord is not included.

Note that if your tent has doors on both sides you will need two of these, one for each pair of doors.

Our Stick on Magnet Toggles allow you to upgrade the door toggles on DCF tents that do not have them.  These are great from modifying our existing tents that have overlapping storm doors like the Plex Solo, Altaplex, Duplex, DupleXL, Triplex, and our Freestanding Duo and Trio tents.

Sewn to a Dyneema ® Composite Fabric patch with tape adhesive on the back, the stick on toggles feature the same standard magnet toggles found on our Zip Tents. Peel off the brown paper back and stick them where you need them. 

These stick excellent to Dyneema ® Composite Fabric gear, but they will not stick to silicone fabrics. The adhesive will stick OK to normal nylon or polyester.
