Ultralight Tents & Shelters

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.

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.

After 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.

Meet the Pivot Duo — the lightest and roomiest full-featured two-person tent in the world that accommodates two wide long sleeping pads. Designed for adventurous couples who won’t settle for cramped quarters, this ultralight shelter fits two hikers, two wide pads, with room to stretch out and sit up straight without brushing the ceiling.

Thanks to its innovative design and smart use of two 52" trekking poles with an included 32" end pole, the Pivot Duo delivers best-in-class useable internal space. The symmetrical floor and mirrored doors allow you to sleep in either direction depending on the wind direction and the slope of the ground.

When you're sharing every mile, share a tent that actually fits your lifestyle.

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