DESCRIPTION
Zpacks 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.
Available in two different Dyneema® Composite Fabric canopy and floor weights:
Tent sets up with a trekking pole or tent pole adjusted to around 132 cm (52") at the peak and one adjusted to 81 cm (32") at the right rear corner of the tent. If you do not use trekking poles, we have tent poles available here.
The 52” pole is offset towards the head end of the tent creating a wide entryway with an L shaped zipper that drapes to help stop mosquitoes from chasing you into the tent. The offset pole also creates a steeper wall with additional head or foot room.
The 32” pole at the at the right rear corner of the tent further expands the internal volume of the Pivot Solo creating a tremendous amount of internal space. Taller hikers can have their head or feet right up against the screen wall without brushing condensation on the canopy. The second pole also helps brace the tent in the wind.
The tent package includes: guylines, sewn in linelocs, taped seams, and a Medium DCF Stuff Sack, 137 cm DCF repair tape strip and two spare zipper sliders.
6 to 8 Stakes are required but are not included. You can buy them here.
TOTAL WEIGHT: 383 g / 13.5 oz including guy lines, sewn in linelocs, and taped seams (blue and olive tent, spruce green weighs 447 g / 15.8 oz)
MATERIAL: .55 oz/sqyd (blue, olive), .75 oz/sqyd (spruce green) Standard Dyneema® Composite Fabric
Dyneema® Composite Fabric has several advantages over other materials:
- High strength to weight ratio – the material can handle high wind force and does not tear easily.
- Chemical free, PFC free
- Waterproof – there is no DWR or coating to worry about wearing out. The material will not absorb significant water that will add water weight to your pack
- Stretch-free – the tent will stay taut all night. Nylon material by comparison can stretch and sag, especially if it gets wet.
- Taped seams – our seams are sewn for strength then taped water tight. The tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength. No seam sealing will be necessary!
- Easily repairable – Any damage can easily be fixed in the field with our Dyneema® Composite Fabric Repair Tape.
- This tent is semi-transparent. In bright sunlight, a fuzzy silhouette of a person sitting inside the tent would be visible, but you cannot see any details. It has a suitable amount of privacy for changing clothes.
- In lower light (such as in the evening or at night), you cannot see through at all. Another nice thing about this material is that you can see the outlines of trees and your surroundings for a more immersed outdoor experience.
- Dyneema® Composite Fabric is not a particularly noisy fabric; however, almost any tent will make a little noise in the wind. Earplugs are not a bad idea for windy nights.
