Hexamid Tent

$369.26 ~~$499~~ In stock

The Hexamid tent is back, and updated for our 20th anniversary!

The Hexamid is made for hikers who would rather sleep under the stars. The updated design features a floorless screen perimeter which must be combined with an optional bathtub groundsheet or a bivy. This is ideal for dry environments such as the Pacific Crest Trail where most nights you can sleep under the stars with your groundsheet alone, and only sometimes need rain and bug protection.

Originally tested by Zpacks' founder, Joe Valesko, on his 2009 Continental Divide Trail thru-hike, this ultralight six sided pyramid style shelter protected him all the way from Canada to Mexico; withstanding blizzards in the San Juans, the exposure of the Wind River Range, and the solitude of the New Mexican desert.

I’ve spent three nights in this thing and the floorless design is honestly perfect for warm nights—just stake it out and you’re staring straight up at the stars. The mesh perimeter keeps the bugs out while still letting every breeze through, which made a huge difference on a muggy trail.

The floorless screen perimeter is such a game-changer for star-gazing—I left the fly off both nights and watched the Milky Way while completely protected from bugs. Setup took maybe four minutes with the single pole, and it packs down small enough to shove in my pack’s side pocket.

Took this out on a three-day ridge hike, and the screen perimeter kept the bugs out while letting the breeze through—exactly the balance I wanted. The floorless setup took one night to get used to, but it shaves off real weight and makes cowboy camping effortless.
