Meet your new go-anywhere, do-anything shelter, the Free Zip 3P! Weighing in at just over 2 pounds, the 3P fits three standard width sleeping pads, or two wide pads with wiggle room. On calm, starry nights, pitch it with zero stakes and guy-lines. When the weather's ready to rumble, anchor it down with up to 10 stakes and laugh in the face of storms.

The Free Zip 3P’s freestanding design means you can set up shop just about anywhere. Pitch on beach sand, snow, granite, tent platforms, or those hard-packed sites that make other tents cry. Whether you're ultralight backpacking, bikepacking, or packing for a canoe or kayak adventure, this tent's got your back.

Our double X frame design is a breeze to pitch and stands strong against high winds. The tough-as-nails Easton Carbon 6.3 poles fold down to just 12 inches, so they’ll fit snugly in small backpacks and bike panniers.

Crafted from Dyneema® Composite Fabric, the Free Zip 3P gives you all the ultralight benefits with the versatility of a traditional freestanding tent. It’s the ultimate combo of simplicity and versatility for any backpacking trip.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Jacob J. ★★★★★

Weighs barely over two pounds, which is honestly the biggest selling point for me — it disappears in my pack. Fit my two wide pads side by side without touching the walls, and the third spot was still roomy enough for gear. Best balance of weight and space I've found so far.

Benjamin ★★★★☆

Setup was a breeze thanks to the clever pole design, and at just over two pounds it disappears into my pack. Took it out on a rainy weekend and stayed dry, though I wish the vestibule were a touch bigger for stashing muddy gear.

Leo I. ★★★★☆

Fits three standard pads exactly as promised, and the two-pound weight makes it easy to toss in the pack for solo trips too. Setup takes a bit of fiddling to get the poles seated right, but once it's up, the space feels surprisingly roomy for the size.
