Zpacks Duplex Lite Tent

No, this tent is designed to be supported by your own trekking poles. You will need two trekking poles adjustable to 48 inches to set up the structure.

The Dyneema Composite Fabric is highly durable and waterproof, so a footprint is not strictly required. However, if you frequently camp on abrasive surfaces like sharp rock or thorny brush, a ground sheet can provide extra peace of mind and extend the life of your tent floor.

The tent features a versatile four-door storm system that allows you to adjust airflow based on the weather. Because the doors can be opened partially or fully, you can maintain excellent cross-ventilation even during light rain to help minimize condensation.

With 25 square feet of floor space, the Duplex Lite is designed for two people to sleep comfortably. While it is spacious for an ultralight shelter, gear storage is primarily handled in the two vestibules, which provide ample space for packs and boots outside the sleeping area.

Dyneema is exceptionally lightweight and completely waterproof, meaning it doesn't absorb water or sag when wet like traditional nylon tents. This allows the shelter to maintain its taut pitch and low weight regardless of the weather conditions.
