Zpacks Duplex Lite

Description

14.9 oz | $669 The brand new Zpacks Duplex Lite claims the title of lightest 2P fully enclosed tent, weighing in at a scant 14.9 oz! It achieves this miracle by starting with the base Duplex chassis, narrowing it slightly, and utilizing a slightly thinner floor fabric and guy line cordage. While this is technically a 2P tent, there is zero width to spare, so it’s more like a 1.8P tent, and probably designed with thru-hikers in mind who are unlikely to ever use it at full capacity. The 25 sq ft interior floor is definitely cramped for two, but appropriate for fastpackers or a pair of smaller people who wish to prioritize weight savings over camp comfort. This is definitely an optimization, not an innovation, but well-worth considering for soloists. We wouldn’t actually recommend it for most 2p use.
