Zpacks Duplex Classic Tent

Zpacks Duplex Classic tent - is a lightweight, ultralight backpacking tent designed for outdoor enthusiasts aiming to minimize weight while maintaining comfort and protection. Zpacks is renowned for producing high-quality ultralight gear, and the Duplex tent stands as one of their premier offerings.

This two-person, single-wall tent is tailored for three-season use (spring, summer, and fall) and boasts a unique hybrid single/double-wall design. Crafted from Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF), previously known as Cuben Fiber, the tent's main body offers exceptional waterproofing, durability, and an incredibly low weight, making it ideal for ultralight backpacking shelters. With floor dimensions of approximately 228.6 cm in length and 114.3 cm in width, and a peak height of 121.9 cm at the center, it offers ample space for two adults and their gear. The tent's total weight is a mere 525 g, which includes guy lines, sewn-in linelocs, taped seams, and a stuff sack. Each tent also includes a piece of repair tape and two spare zipper sliders.

Ventilation is a highlight of the Duplex tent, featuring large, integrated mesh doors on both sides and peak vents. These doors can be rolled up and secured, allowing for maximum airflow in warm weather and minimizing condensation inside the tent. The tent's dual-entry design, with doors on each side, provides convenient access for both occupants without disturbing one another. The doors can be rolled back and secured for easy entry and exit.

Setting up the Duplex tent is a straightforward process and can be achieved using trekking poles or optional carbon fiber tent poles. It utilizes a simple single-pole design, with two main arches formed by the poles. 

Additional features encompass built-in mosquito netting on the doors and windows to keep insects at bay, bathtub-style flooring for enhanced rain protection, and DCF fabric known for its durability and resistance to stretching and sagging, ensuring a taut pitch even in adverse weather conditions. The tent can also be customized with additional accessories like a groundsheet or vestibule for extra gear storage.

One of the primary advantages of the Duplex tent is its compact pack size. It can be easily folded and stowed in a small stuff sack, making it an excellent choice for backpackers seeking to conserve space in their packs.
