Ultralight Tents & Shelters

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 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.

Easily pitching with a single 52" (132 cm) trekking pole or tent pole, the Plex Solo Lite has a small footprint that can squeeze into the tightest backcountry campsites.

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