Zpacks Duplex Tent

No, the Duplex is designed to be set up using two 48-inch trekking poles. If you do not hike with trekking poles, you can purchase separate tent poles, but the tent is optimized to save weight by utilizing the gear you are already carrying.

Yes, the floor material is highly durable and does not require a separate groundsheet. However, if you are camping on particularly sharp or abrasive terrain, some hikers choose to carry a thin piece of polycro for extra peace of mind.

No, the Duplex comes with taped seams and bonded tie-outs, meaning it is ready to use right out of the box without any additional seam sealing required.

The tent features four independent storm doors that can be adjusted to maximize airflow, which is the most effective way to manage condensation. Because the storm doors overlap, you can keep them partially open for ventilation even during light rain without water entering the living space.

The Duplex is a non-freestanding shelter by default, requiring stakes to maintain its structure. If you need a semi-freestanding option for rocky or hard-packed ground, it is compatible with the Zpacks Duplex Flex Poles.

Yes, the 45-inch wide floor is specifically designed to accommodate two standard 20-inch wide sleeping pads side-by-side, with a little extra room to spare for gear at the ends.
