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.

The Pivot Solo Tent is the ultimate ultralight shelter for solo adventurers who refuse to compromise on space, durability, or features.

The Pivot's unique design maximizes head and foot room by pivoting a second trekking pole to the rear corner creating a spacious interior that fits a wide, long sleeping pad with room left over for gear. The space will fit a hiker up to about 6' 5" (1.95 meters) tall.

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

Super light and extremely roomy for a 6'2" person! Sets up very quickly and durably minimalistic! In essence perfect!!

The Altaplex Tent is a larger, taller version of our popular Plex Solo Tent. It is designed for hikers who enjoy the simplicity of a single pole shelter but require more space.

Our Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles will adjust to the minimum required 56" (142 cm) height, and we also have 58" Tent Poles, our Carbon Fiber Staff, or a Trekking Pole Jack if your preferred trekking pole is not long enough.

Our Pivot Solo Tent is another good choice for extra head and foot room with bells and whistles like magnet toggles and zipper storm doors.

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.

The Triplex Pro three person ultralight tent offers refined upgrades that make it even more dependable for adventurous couples and small families. The Pro features waterproof, durable Dyneema® Composite Fabric, zippered storm doors, and magnet toggles that are trail tested to go the distance.

The symmetrical layout gives you the freedom to pitch in any direction for better views, improved airflow, or wind protection. Double-L screen door zippers allow for easy access on either side of the trekking pole, and the doors drape to block mosquitoes from chasing you into the tent.

The wide floor space can fit a pair of large sleeping pads with room to spare for gear, or bring along a child or dog.

When you want an ultralight shelter that doesn’t feel cramped is just as ready for big trips as you are, then there’s no better choice than the Triplex Pro.

Whether you're hitting the trail with your kid, your pup, or your homies, the Pivot Trio is designed to make shared backcountry moments more comfortable than ever. It’s the lightest, most spacious 3-person tent in its class — purpose-built for hikers who want room for gear and their little one, human or canine.

This full-featured shelter comfortably fits three averaged sized adults, or a couple with extra space for a child or dog, plus your pack and other essentials. The symmetrical layout and dual wide doors mean flexible sleeping orientation no matter the wind or slope, and setup is fast using just two 52" trekking poles and the included 32" end pole.

With generous headroom that lets you sit up without brushing the ceiling and a thoughtfully designed floor that accommodates a mix of sleeping pads, the Pivot Trio is ideal for families who won’t compromise on space, comfort, or weight.

When you share your adventures with someone smaller — or furrier — the Pivot Trio gives you room to do it right.

Available in two Dyneema® Composite Fabric options to match your durability and weight preferences.
