I have bought this setup for going solo, however I now have a partner and need to sell this unused Ultralight tent. This is a steal! ZPacks Hexamid Solo-Plus Tent. The Hexamid Solo-Plus is a palace for one average sized hiker plus gear, or a good fit for an above average height person. It is large enough to occasionally squeeze in a partner. It has fully enclosed screen, a detachable bathtub floor for versatility, and storm doors for 360° rain protection. Sets up with just one trekking pole or walking stick adjusted to around 52 inches (132 cm), and a minimum of six stakes. Ten stakes are recommended on this tent for additional head room and wind resistance. Is available if you don’t use trekking poles. Watch the Hexamid Solo-Plus Setup Video. Lots of space for one person plus gear, or space to squeeze in a partner on occasion. The tent is long enough for most people to fully stretch out their arms and legs, and tall enough for two average height people to sit upright. A 6 foot tall person would have over 18.5 (47 cm) of vertical height at the end of their head and feet (more factoring in the extra lift from the end guy lines). A pair of storm doors protect the front of the tent from rain spray. The doors overlap in front, you never have to worry about a broken zipper. They clip down to the front center guy line, or roll up out of the way. Leave one or both doors open for air flow when the weather allows it. You can also use the doors for vestibule space. Great ventilation, and a great view through the large screen entryway. 6 (15 cm) of screen around the perimeter allows air flow. The bathtub floor is set back from the screen walls. You can leave both storm doors open in the rain for air flow, unless spray is blowing directly at the front of the tent. Our Hexamid tents are unique in that they have a fully enclosed screen floor which keeps 100% of insects, spiders, ticks, etc out! You will need a separate waterproof bathtub floor on the inside, on top of the screen, just like sleeping under a tarp. Keeping it separate from the tent offers the following advantages. Our Cuben Fiber Bathtub Floor. Works great, but alternatively you can use a Poncho. To double as rain gear, a Bivy. Or inexpensive material like Tyvek. To save on cost. On nice nights you can take your separate floor out and sleep under the stars or on the ground under a shelter. If rain is blowing hard at one side of the tent, you can fold or shift your floor away from any spray. Rain spray or condensation runs harmlessly out the screen floor. You can set your wet shoes, wet pack, and clothes on the screen, while keeping your bathtub floor dry. You can take out your bathtub floor to dry the tent off faster. If the tent is wet you can pack your dry floor separate. Normally the floor stays clipped in place and packs up with the tent. You don’t ever have to take it out except when you want to! Each inside corner of the tent has a loop and clip for attaching your bathtub floor. The peak also has a loop on the inside for hanging a flashlight or stuff sack. All of our tents do pretty well in the wind. The material can handle high wind loads. As long as your stakes stay in the ground (use rocks if available) your tent will stay standing. Cuben Fiber is not a particularly noisy fabric, however almost any tent will make a little noise in the wind. Ear plugs are not a bad idea for windy nights. Cuben Fiber is semi-transparent. In bright sunlight you can see a fuzzy silhouette of a person sitting inside the tent. You cannot see any details and it has a suitable amount of privacy for changing clothes etc. In lower light (such as in the evening or at night) you cannot see through at all. We also have thicker, darker material available as an upgrade below. One nice thing about Cuben Fiber is you can also see the outlines of trees and your surroundings for a more connected outdoor experience. The expected life span of this shelter is at least one full 2500+ mile thru hike, or many years of casual use with some care. For more info check out the Tent FAQs. Our tents are made from. 51 oz/sqyd (17.4 g/m²) Cuben Fiber material. Cuben Fiber has several advantages over other materials. Cuben Fiber has a very high strength to weight ratio. The material can handle high wind force and does not tear easily. Cuben Fiber is waterproof. Cuben Fiber is made from Dyneema threads which do not stretch. The tent stays taut all night. Nylon material by comparison can stretch and sag, especially if it gets wet. Tape sticks well to it. Any damage can easily be fixed in the field with our Cuben Fiber Repair Tape. The seams are stitched and then taped taped water tight. The tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength. No seam sealing necessary! This tent has fully enclosed. 7 oz/sqyd (24 g/m²) insect screen. The holes in this screen are super tiny, even the smallest insects cannot get through. Our tent screen is about 30% lighter than comparable Noseeum screen with no noticeable decrease in durability. The screen floor holds up surprisingly well. As long as you are a little careful to move pointy things from your tent site you are unlikely to get any damage. If it did get a puncture it would be under your solid bathtub floor where it wouldn’t affect the performance of the tent. The separate (optional) bathtub floor is made from 1.0 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber. This material weight is more than twice as thick as the canopy material and is more resistant to abrasion and punctures. As with all Cuben Fiber it is easy to patch with tape. Bright Yellow 1.25 mm Spectra Z-Line cord is included for guy lines (uncut). This cord is very strong, tangle resistant, and doesn’t stretch so it gives you a tight pitch. Yellow is easy to see day or night. We recommend fixed length guy lines for the easiest set up with no knots or adjustment necessary. Some customers choose to add Linelocs.
