Zpacks Altaplex Tent (NEW/ UNSUSED/ PERFECT CONDITION). I set up the tent one time indoors just to see what it looked like. I loved it but I simply don’t need as much space as it provides! Sets up with a single trekking pole adjusted to around 56″-60″ (142-152 cm). If your trekking poles do not extended to 56 (142cm), you can add one of our. To increase the height or considering using one of our. Sets up with a minimum of 6 stakes but 10 stakes are recommended in windy conditions. The storm doors can be opened or closed independently. Leave one or two doors open in nice weather for a breeze and great views. Close the upwind door to block cold wind, or close both for 360° rain protection. The overlapping doors are closed with custom made metal hooks, with a toggle at the center to keep them pinned. The canopy overhangs the bathtub floor and the screen doors by 4-5 inches (12 cm). In calm rain or under dripping trees the 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 as seen in the photo gallery. A single closed door creates enough vestibule space for storing a wet backpack or muddy shoes, if you don’t want to bring them into the tent. There is screen between the bathtub floor and the walls around the perimeter. An elastic cord keeps the bathtub elevated, ensuring the screen slopes downwards away from the bathtub. Any condensation, which single wall shelters may experience, will run down the walls and out through the downward sloping screen, rather than onto the floor. For tips to avoid condensation. A rainbow zipper gives you extra space to get in or out of the tent and gives you access to the vestibule area. The doorway is tall for easy entry. This tent has a solid, sewn in 8 inch (20 cm) tall bathtub floor. The bathtub floor is 36 inches (91 cm) wide. The floor is 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) long. There is plenty of space to stretch out, with room for your gear beside you or at the ends of the floor. A Mesh pocket is conveniently located near the door so that it can be accessed from inside or outside the tent. The pocket is about 8″ x 8″ (20 cm x 20 cm). A separate groundsheet is not required for this shelter. The floor material is reasonably durable, and all Dyneema® Composite Fabric gear can be easily patched in the field with repair tape. If you do prefer to use a groundsheet as a precaution, Flat Groundsheets. All of our tents do pretty well in the wind. 60 mph (100 km/h) gusts are no problem. The material can handle high wind loads, and as long as your stakes stay in the ground (use rocks if available) your tent will stay standing. Dyneema® Composite Fabric is not particularly noisy, however almost any tent will make a little noise in the wind. Earplugs are not a bad idea for windy nights. This tent rolls up to about 6″ x 12″ (15 x 30 cm). It is a loose fit in an included Medium-Plus size stuff sack which is 7″ x 13″ (18 x 33 cm). Dyneema Composite Fabric is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals such as flame retardants or water repellents. Made in the USA.

Excellent Condition Zpacks Altaplex Ultralight Tent, 2020 model. Condition is “Excellent Condition”. I bought this tent for the 2020 hiking season to take on the PCT. I started in early March, before covid, & stayed off trail since then. I babies this tent. No patches, no holes, like new! Always pitched on soft ground with tyvek groundsheet. This tent is absolutely fantastic & will come in original stuff sack. Survived 4 hailstorms, snow, & heavy rain during its time with me. This is my 4th zpacks tarp/tent (also owned a duplex, hexamid pocket tar modified, hexamid pocket tarp with doors). None of them have failed me EVER & I have only gotten smaller shelters over the years. I might actually be a complete fool by giving up such an incredible tent at such a bargain price.

This is the Zpacks Altaplex, intended for one large person (I’m 6’4, wide frame and it fit me just fine with plenty of room) OR a couple of average to small people. The vestibule has always been plenty of space for my gear, so you have many options and lots of room with this tent. What you’re getting: the Dyneema Composite Fabric (aka: Cuban Fiber) tent, a Polycro groundsheet/footprint (from Gossamer Gear), 9 Carbon Fiber stakes (from Zpacks), Cuban Fiber stake sack and the Cuban Fiber tent sack. Super ultralight, in all this is about 20oz for everything listed above, this weight includes the seam sealing, lines, line locs, both stuff sacks and stakes!! I had 10 stakes but lost one somewhere in the Adirondacks. This tent is in great condition and lightly used, I’ve had it for 1.5 years. I also just cleaned it inside and out.
