How could you not like this? It’s lighter than plenty of one person shelters, but it’s a palace for one, and easily sleeps two. Setup is easy and it’s overall designed well.  I don’t think I’ve met any user on the AT so far who doesn’t like their Duplex.

The Duplex Classic 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 with a no frills, no fuss mindset, the award-winning Duplex hits the sweet spot when it comes to size, weight, and features. The Duplex was voted the most popular ultralight tent by Appalachian Trail thru-hikers two years in a row.

The Duplex is lightweight, roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, pitches easily, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces. You won’t find a lighter functional two person tent anywhere on the market.

More weight conscious hikers and solo adventurers may want to check our our smaller Duplex Lite model, or add all the bells and whistles and extra space with the Duplex Pro.

Packed this for a solo trip and was shocked at how much room there is inside for the weight. Setup took me under five minutes on the first try, which never happens with a tent. The dual doors are a nice touch I didn't expect at this size.

Ryan I. ★★★★★

Rain started halfway through the first night and I stayed bone dry, which is more than I can say for my old tent. The whole thing packs down smaller than my sleeping bag, and the two vestibules give me room to stash gear without tripping over it. Honestly, for something this light, the headroom is w

I’m 6’2” and usually feel cramped in tents, but this one has enough headroom and floor space that I can actually sit up fully and stretch out. The setup took me under five minutes even on my first try, and it packs down smaller than my sleeping bag. It’s honestly the first shelter I’ve owned that do
