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.
