**This tent is undergoing an update and is currently unavailable. The Free Zip 3P is still available while supplies last.

With a sub-2 pound packed weight, our Free Zip 2P freestanding tent offers simplicity and versatility not found with most other ultralight backpacking tents. It can be pitched with zero stakes and zero guy-lines on lazy calm nights, or anchored down with up to 10 stakes to defeat stormy alpine weather.

The freestanding design allows you to easily conquer difficult terrain like beach sand, snow, granite, tent platforms, and packed down sites where trekking pole style tents are more challenging. Whether you are ultralight backpacking, bikepacking, canoe or kayak packing the Free Zip 2P has you covered.

The Free Zip features a quick, simple to pitch double X frame design which excels in high-wind situations. Best of all, the heavy duty Easton Carbon 6.3 poles fold down to a scant 12" (30.5 cm) allowing them to easily pack with the tent horizontally in small backpacks and bike paniers.

The Free Zip provides the versatility of a freestanding tent with all the benefits of an ultralight shelter made from Dyneema® Composite Fabric. It is truly a go-to tent for just about any backpacking trip.

Also available in Free Zip 3P size.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Adam ★★★★★

At under two pounds I barely feel it strapped to my pack, and the freestanding frame let me pitch it on a bare rocky ledge without any stakes. Perfect for a solo trip where every ounce counts.

Natalie Y. ★★★★★

Setting it up alone took me under five minutes, and the freestanding frame meant I could drag it to a better spot without unstaking. For a two-person tent that packs this light, the interior feels surprisingly spacious for me and my partner.

Abigail ★★★★★

Under two pounds packed is no joke — I barely noticed it in my pack on a recent overnight. Setup took me maybe five minutes solo, and the freestanding design meant I didn't have to hunt for perfect staking ground.
