A new take on Zpacks' award-winning Duplex Tent
Zpacks new Duplex Zip Tent comes with several enhancements that make it even more versatile and user-friendly for all your outdoor adventures. They added zippered storm doors with peak vents to provide extra protection from wind and rain without sacrificing ventilation. The storm doors are easy to open and close, allowing you to adjust the airflow inside the tent as needed. Magnetic door toggles make it easier to secure the tent doors out of the way without having to fumble with clunky closures.
The symmetrical design allows two adults to lay side by side in either direction, creating a superior sleeping experience for couples when compared to asymmetrical offset pole designs. Setting up with two trekking poles or tent poles, it avoids steep wall angles, creating more practical usable space, and allowing two people to sit upright side by side facing out either door while removing shoes or while reaching out to cook or access gear just outside the tent.
Leave all four doors open on nice weather nights for a breeze and great views. Close the upwind doors to block cold wind, or close all four for 360° rain protection. In calm rain or under wet trees one or two doors can be left open for air flow without water dripping on the floor space. In almost all conditions at least one downwind door can be left open for air. For even better rain protection with a door open, use the included elastic cords to pull the screen door back away from the rain spray.
Just like their flagship Duplex, Zpacks Duplex Zip Tent is lightweight, roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, pitches easily, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces. You won’t find lighter functional two person tents anywhere on the market.
Features:
- Taped seams
- Tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength
- 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 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
- 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

- Made in the USA
