Hexamid Tent
Weight 9.7 oz / 275 gThe 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.Hexamid Tent

Duplex Lite Tent
Weight 14.9 oz / 423 gThe 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.

Duplex Classic Tent
Weight 17.9 oz / 507 gHow 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.
More weight conscious hikers and solo adventurers may want to check our our smaller Duplex Lite model, or add all the bells and whistles and extra space with the Duplex Pro.

Duplex Pro Tent
Weight 19.5 oz / 554 gAfter a decade-plus of leading the pack, we gave our award-winning design some slick new upgrades: meet the Duplex Pro. Just like the original Duplex Classic, the Pro is made with waterproof, durable Dyneema® Composite Fabric that is trail tested to go the distance whether you are thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, crossing snow fields in Iceland, or braving the winds in Patagonia.
The fully symmetrical design allows you to pitch and sleep in any direction depending on the wind, the slope of the ground, and the views. Stay protected, or vented in any weather with zippered storm doors which can be deployed for vestibule space, or secured with magnet toggles for views and airflow. The screen doors feature double-L zippers that drape to block mosquitoes or open fully to access your vestibules or enter on either side of the trekking poles.
The large floor can fit two wide, long sleeping pads without an increased footprint, so you can still squeeze into tight backcountry spots without a fuss. The Duplex Pro is ultralight, spacious, packs down super tiny, and pitches anywhere you feel like calling home. You simply won’t find a lighter, more dialed two-person shelter out there.Duplex Pro Tent

Duplex Freestanding Flex Kit
$149.00Weight 11.4 oz (323 g)This kit not only does what it should, but it actually (I would argue) does it better than many inherently-freestanding tent models.
Transform your Duplex Classic, or Duplex Pro tent into a freestanding ultralight tent for when stakes aren’t an option. Our Flex Kit is perfect for platform camping on the Overland Track or in the White Mountains, or for packed down campsites along the John Muir Trail. The poles fold up short, which is perfect for bike packing and smaller backpacks.
The Flex Kit is like owning two ultralight tents in one. Simply install the hardware and attach the lightweight Flex poles to your Duplex and you're good to go.
Our Flex poles have been updated for 2024 and now have a 12.5" (31.75 cm) folded length! They can be rolled up and packed with your tent. A tent pole sack is included to protect your gear.
*TENT NOT INCLUDED
*The Duplex Flex Kit is only compatible with our Duplex Classic, Duplex Pro, and Duplex Zip tents manufactured in 2016 or later. If you have an older tent please make sure it has 2x rings sewn at each peak or it is not compatible.
