Zpacks Pivot Duo Tent

You will need two 52-inch trekking poles and one 32-inch end pole to pitch this tent. Since the trekking poles are used for the main structure, make sure your poles are adjustable or fixed to that specific length before heading out.

Dyneema Composite Fabric is incredibly strong for its weight, but it is thinner than traditional nylon tents. While it handles wind and rain exceptionally well, you should still be mindful of where you pitch to avoid sharp rocks or thorns that could puncture the material.

No, the Pivot Duo does not include a footprint. Because the floor is made from Dyneema, it is naturally waterproof, but many hikers choose to carry a lightweight groundsheet for extra protection against abrasion on rough ground.

The dual-entry and dual-vestibule setup is a game-changer for two hikers. It means you can each have your own dedicated door and storage area, so you don't have to crawl over your partner to get out at night or manage your gear.

The Pivot Duo is designed specifically to avoid that 'cramped' feeling. The unique pole configuration creates steep, vertical walls that offer significantly more headroom and shoulder space than standard ultralight tents, allowing you to sit up comfortably without brushing against the fabric.

The tent features integrated peak vents that promote airflow to help minimize condensation. While no single-wall shelter is immune to condensation in very humid or cold environments, the combination of vents and insect netting provides a good balance of airflow and protection.
