Duplex Lite Tent by Zpacks

Ships in 1-2 business days | Based in West Melbourne, FL | Est. 2004

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. This version of Zpacks’ award winning Duplex tent has a slimmed down footprint with a 40″ (102 cm) wide floor. It is spacious for one person with gear, with the versatility to fit two standard width sleeping pads side by side when camping with a partner.

The Duplex Lite utilizes Zpacks’ proven .55 oz/sq yd Dyneema Composite Fabric canopy combined with a .75 oz/sq yd DCF floor material, which is 25% lighter and packs down smaller relative to their standard tent floors. The Duplex Lite comes preconfigured with bright yellow 1.3 mm Z-Line guy-lines which save weight compared to the 2mm guylines on their standard tents.

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.

Features:

• Taped seams
• Tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength
• A slimmer corner to corner footprint allows you to squeeze into those hard-to-find backcountry flat spots, providing a decisive advantage over other designs with larger footprints that require much more space to set up
• Any of the four storm doors can be opened or closed independently
• Overlapping storm doors allow airflow without the need for additional venting – no zippers that could potentially fail over time
• Vestibule has enough space for storing a wet backpack or muddy shoes
• Rainbow zippers on both sides of the tent allow easy entry regardless of which doors are closed, and they give you access to every vestibule area
• Screen door drops inwards rather than hanging in your way – no need to roll up or secure
• Tarp overhangs bathtub floor screen doors – in calm rain or under dripping trees the doors can be left open for air flow without water dripping on the floor space
• Sewn-in 8″ tall bathtub floor has plenty of space for two average people to stretch out plus space for gear at the ends of the floor
• Seamless, sewn-in 6.75 inch (17 cm) tall bathtub floor has just enough space for two 20″ sleeping pads with room to stretch out plus space for gear at the ends of the floor
• Mesh pockets conveniently located near each screen door can be accessed from inside or outside the tent
• Dyneema is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals such as flame retardants or water repellents
• Easily repairable – any damage can easily be fixed in the field with DCF Repair Tape (included)
• All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship
• Made in the USA

Includes:

• Stuff sack
• Repair tape
• 2 spare zipper sliders

Note: An optional  or  footprint is available for added protection but not required for this shelter. The floor material is reasonably durable, and all Dyneema Composite Fabric gear can be easily patched in the field with repair tape (included). Sets up with a minimum of 6 (8 recommended in windy conditions) and two  or adjusted to around 48″ (122 cm). Slightly taller or shorter fixed length poles will also work.
