Voted the most popular ultralight tent by Appalachian Trail thru-hikers two years in a row

Roomy for 1 or perfect for 2, this ultralight tent will allow you to push your limits and hike greater distances; whether losing yourself in the beauty of the Pacific Crest Trail, or weathering an afternoon storm in the Swiss Alps. Specifically designed for the demands of long distance backpacking, the award-winning Duplex hits the sweet spot when it comes to size, weight, and features.

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.
