Engineered for the ultralight enthusiast wishing to cut every ounce from their pack weight

At under 15 ounces, the Duplex Lite is hands down the lightest fully enclosed two-person tent in the world. This version of Zpacks' award-winning Duplex tent has a slimmed-down footprint with a 40" (102 cm) wide floor. It is spacious for one person with gear, with the versatility to fit two standard-width sleeping pads side by side when camping with a partner.

The Duplex Lite utilizes Zpacks' proven .55 oz/sq yd Dyneema® Composite Fabric canopy combined with a .75 oz/sq yd DCF floor material, which is 25% lighter and packs down smaller relative to their standard tent floors. The Duplex Lite comes preconfigured with bright yellow 1.3 mm Z-Line guylines, which save weight compared to the 2mm guylines on their standard tents.

When it comes to long-distance backpacking, every gram counts, and the Duplex Lite allows weight-conscious hikers the freedom to go further and faster, with a shelter that is roomy, well ventilated, packs down small, and has the features a thru-hiker needs.

Features:

  • Taped seams
  • Tie-outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength
  • A slimmer corner-to-corner footprint allows you to squeeze into those hard-to-find backcountry flat spots, providing a decisive advantage over other designs with larger footprints that require much more space to set up
  • Any of the four storm doors can be opened or closed independently
  • Overlapping storm doors allow airflow without the need for additional venting - no zippers that could potentially fail over time
  • Vestibule has enough space for storing a wet backpack or muddy shoes
  • Rainbow screen door zippers on both sides of the tent allow easy entry regardless of which doors are closed, and they give you access to every vestibule area
  • Screen door drops inwards rather than hanging in your way - no need to roll up or secure
  • Tarp overhangs bathtub floor screen doors - in calm rain or under dripping trees, the doors can be left open for air flow without water dripping on the floor space
  • Sewn-in 8" tall bathtub floor has plenty of space for two average people to stretch out, plus space for gear at the ends of the floor
  • Seamless, sewn-in 6.75 inch (17cm) tall bathtub floor has just enough space for two 20" sleeping pads with room to stretch out, plus space for gear at the ends of the floor
  • Mesh pockets conveniently located near each screen door can be accessed from inside or outside the tent
  • Dyneema® is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals, such as flame retardants or water repellents
  • Easily repairable - any damage can easily be fixed in the field with DCF Repair Tape (included)
  • All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship

Includes:

  • Duplex Lite Tent
  • DCF Stuff sack
  • 54" DCF Repair tape
  • 2 spare zipper sliders

Compare with Zpacks' Duplex Classic for a little bit more room and durability, or their Duplex Pro which also includes zippered storm doors, peak vents, and magnetic door toggles.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it. Couple things: 1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky. One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection. Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it. 2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless. 3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together. 4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place. 5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options. NOW on to the utility itself. 1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great! 2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world. 3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it. All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.
