ZPacks Duplex Tent

[rfc86]

Does anyone have any experience with this tent? http://www.zpacks.com/shelter/duplex.shtml

Thanks.

My buddy runs the triplex tent and he really likes it. Super light but he has had some issues with condensation which all single wall tents are prone to. Sets up pretty quick and just enough space for two guys. Not sure how the duplex would fit two guys. Zpacks makes nice gear.

Thanks. I watched the video and it does seem tight for 2 people, but for just 1 it's roomy. At 21 oz it seems like a pretty good option.

Been running the Hexamid Twin Tent for five years, mostly on bivies from backpack camp. I've used it both solo....allows all your gear inside with space to spare and with the GF which means the packs stay outside and need a garbage bag at minimum if rain is forecasted. This is an older model with only one door...no complaints and is near 14 oz. with the full bug netting. Usually use the Zpacks ponchos under our bags as they are adequate rain gear for the lower 48 states(minus the Pac NW) so serve dual purpose. Gets much more quiet with time (cubin fiber). Great product that has kept us dry in torrential thunderstorms and saved my back as I'm a solo back pack hunter.

I have the z packs tripled, it's been a great tent when it's used for its intended purpose. It's unbelievably light and roomy for what it is. I have actually put that tent through quite a bit. Last year I slept a night of moderate wind and an absolute downpour where there was water running underneath the tent. I also camped a night where it got down to the low 20's with a couple inches of snow. It's plenty roomy for two people and gear. It's a great tent for staying light in the early season. It did keep me dry in the downpour, however it is a little unnerving in really high wind or even moderate wind. Also like any single wall condensation does happen. It's a drafty tent, I will use it any time I'm out in the early season and there are no big storms coming in. I bought a hillberg nallo gt for later season stuff
