These magnetic fasteners are robust and dependable, ensuring the doors remain neatly rolled up even in blustery conditions.

Crafted from Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF), the tent's main body offers exceptional waterproofing, durability, and an incredibly low weight, making it ideal for ultralight backpacking shelters. With floor dimensions of approximately 228 cm in length and 114 cm in width, and a peak height of 122 cm at the center, it offers ample space for two adults and their gear. The tent's total weight is a mere 577 g, which includes guy lines, sewn-in linelocs, taped seams, and a stuff sack. Each tent also includes a piece of repair tape and two spare zipper sliders.

Its robust bathtub-style floor offers a generous 20 cm of clearance, accommodating both you and your gear comfortably. Additionally, you'll discover a convenient mesh pocket located near the entrance, ensuring swift access to your essential items.

Ventilation is a standout feature of the Duplex Zip tent, featuring spacious built-in mesh doors on both sides and peak vents. These doors can be effortlessly rolled up and secured, facilitating optimal airflow during warm weather while reducing interior condensation. The tent's dual-entry design, equipped with doors on both sides, ensures convenient access for both occupants without disturbing one another. The doors can be rolled back and secured to facilitate easy entry and exit.
