The ideal ultralight tent for hikers up to 6’6”, the Altaplex is the perfect place to wait out the rain on the Appalachian Trail or to recover after a long day of bushwhacking.

Specifically designed for taller backpackers and thru-hikers, this lightweight tent provides ample head and foot room while still easily pitching with a single trekking pole.

A great fit whether you are a triple-crowner or just out for a weekend in the Smokies. This tent is roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, can be pitched quickly, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces. Tall hikers won’t find a lighter tent with this much space anywhere on the market.

Features:

  • Sets up with a single trekking pole adjusted to around 56"-58" (147 cm). If your trekking poles do not extended to 56" (142cm), you can add one of our Trekking pole jacks to increase the height or considering using one of our Carbon Fiber Staffs or Tent Poles. 58" poles and staffs may need to be angled a bit to get the perfect pitch. A trekking pole is not included but we have multiple Trekking Pole options to choose from.
  • Sets up with a minimum of 6 stakes but 10 stakes are recommended in windy conditions. Stakes are not included but we have a variety of Ultralight Stakes to choose from.
  • 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.
  • Overlapping storm doors allow for a small amount of airflow without the need for additional venting. There are no zippers on the doors that could potentially fail over time.
  • A single closed storm door creates enough vestibule space for storing a wet backpack or muddy shoes, if you don't want to bring them into the tent.
  • The screen door has a rainbow zipper which allows easy entry regardless of which storm door is closed. You can access the vestibule area on either side. The screen door conveniently drops inwards rather than hanging in your way. No need to roll it up or secure it.
  • 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.
  • Stick on Magnet Toggles are also available for those looking to upgrade their storm door closing mechanism.
  • 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.
  • 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. 
  • This tent has a solid, sewn in 8 inch (20 cm) tall bathtub floor. The bathtub floor is 36 inches (91 cm) wide by 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.
  • If you are particularly tall, you might try propping up the side guylines using Trecking Pole Cups for even more headroom.
  • A Mesh pocket is conveniently located near the door so that it can be accessed from inside or outside the tent. It is a good place to store your cell phone, glasses, headlamp, the tent stuff sack, and spare seam tape (included). 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 (included). If you do prefer to use a groundsheet as a precaution, flat ground sheets are available.
  • 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.
  • Dyneema Composite Fabric is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals such as flame retardants or water repellents.
  • All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. 
  • Made in the USA.

Worth it!
Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are amazing and very soft and comfortable. They came nicely packaged and I let them sit out for just a few hours before using them and that was plenty of time! They come with the cooling cover and fit a standard queen sized pillowcase. The material expands well and does not have any weird smells. 10/10 well worth the price.

Miracle pillow
Size: Standard(Pack of 2)
Best pillow I’ve ever had. I have been using this since December 2024 and it still hasn’t gotten flat. It is amazingly comfortable and solves all my neck issues for a side sleeper. My head never gets hot either. I’ve recommended this to my friends and they’ve had success with it as well.

Really wanted to love these
Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I really wanted to love these but they gave me a stiff neck. I haven't slept with a pillow since buying these. They are firm except where you lay your head. It just deflates there. I expected it to sink in to match the curve of my neck but it was more than I could handle. My head ended up in a valley between the two ends of the pillow. The price was good, zipper worked fine, it looks as advertised and the pillows are good quality. The cooling part works, its just not what I needed.

best pillow I have ever bought.
Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
most comfortable pillow I have ever bought. It seems very well put together so I believe that it will last a long time. Very happy with the purchase. I do think the weight of the pillow will surprise many people because while it is quite heavy, it is very firm and extremely comfortable. Great value.

I paid for the product and it’s GOOD 👍🏽
Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Honest review to help your decision. These are a bargain at two for one. I paid almost $30 for one at a local retailer and it’s already flattened after 7 months. This product arrives vacuum sealed with the cooling pillow covers separately (separate so you can wash before using). They are loaded with memory foam which I found pleasing. I chose to leave all of the foam in because I’m sure it’ll flatten sometime in the future. I’ve been using these for TWO MONTHS now and they have not flattened. Easy to mold and fluff, soft and they are added support for my back up pillows. I cannot attest to any type of pain relief because I have not experienced that with these personally. I do feel my sleep is better so my tension headaches have lessened. The cooling hex layer is on the cover NOT the actual pillows. I’m sure everyone knows that memory foam gets really hot 🥵 but the cooling covers on these help minimize that. It actually feels cool to the touch like a gel product. I find the quality to be exceptional. All in all, give it a shot.
