Zpacks Free Zip 3P Freestanding Tent - weighing it around 1 kg, this tent combines simplicity and versatility, setting it apart from most other ultralight backpacking tents. On calm nights, it can be set up without stakes or guy-lines, while in stormy alpine conditions, it can be securely anchored with up to 10 stakes.
Its freestanding design makes it ideal for challenging terrains such as beach sand, snow, granite, tent platforms, and compacted sites, where trekking pole style tents can be more difficult to pitch. Whether you're ultralight backpacking, bikepacking, or packing for a canoe or kayak trip, the Free Zip 3P is a reliable choice.
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 panniers.
This tent offers the versatility of a freestanding design combined with the ultralight benefits of Dyneema® Composite Fabric, making the Free Zip a go-to tent for any backpacking adventure.
Up to 10 stakes can be used but are not included. Zpacks ultralight stakes you can find here.
MATERIAL: .55 oz/sqyd (blue and olive) or .75 oz/sqyd (spruce green) Standard Dyneema® Composite Fabric
Dyneema® Composite Fabric has several advantages over other materials:
- High strength to weight ratio – the material can handle high wind force and does not tear easily.
- Chemical free, PFC free
- Waterproof – there is no DWR or coating to worry about wearing out. The material will not absorb significant water that will add water weight to your pack
- Stretch-free – the tent will stay taut all night. Nylon material by comparison can stretch and sag, especially if it gets wet.
- Taped seams – our seams are sewn for strength then taped water tight. The tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength. No seam sealing will be necessary!
- Easily repairable – Any damage can easily be fixed in the field with our Dyneema® Composite Fabric Repair Tape.
- This tent is semi-transparent. In bright sunlight, a fuzzy silhouette of a person sitting inside the tent would be visible, but you cannot see any details. It has a suitable amount of privacy for changing clothes.
- In lower light (such as in the evening or at night), you cannot see through at all. Another nice thing about this material is that you can see the outlines of trees and your surroundings for a more immersed outdoor experience.
TOTAL WEIGHT: 1025 g / 36.2 oz includes guy lines, sewn in linelocs, taped seams, poles and pole sack.
A piece of repair tape and two spare zipper sliders are included with each tent. Your choice of canopy material will change the total weight.
| The Free Zip 3P is a dedicated freestanding tent which pitches with four included tent poles that are used to create an unique "double X" design. It can be pitched on difficult surfaces like bedrock, compacted dirt, sand, snow or other places that staking is inconvenient. |
| The domed shape creates steep angles at the head and foot of the tent, resulting in a ton of of useable space. It is a palace for one hiker with gear, or comfortable for a couple on standard width pads. Even the tallest hikers will have enough head and foot clearance to avoid brushing the steep walls. |
| The included Easton Carbon 6.3 tent poles are made with proven technology and are the cutting edge of strength and weight. These poles are thicker and stronger than the Easton Carbon 3.9 poles used on Duplex Flex shelter. Best of all, the poles fold down to a scant 30.5 cm (12") allowing them to easily pack with the tent horizontally in small backpacks and bike paniers. |
| The Free Zip 3P is Zpacks best 3 person tent in demanding, high wind situations. The Easton Carbon poles can handle a gale with minimal deflection. The tent body comes down nearly to the ground at the ends to help block cold wind. It pitches with a lower profile and a smaller footprint compared to Zpacks non-freestanding tents. |
| The tent can be picked up and moved around after inserting the poles to find the perfect root-free spot. |
| The tent can be pitched with zero stakes and zero guy lines on lazy nights in calm weather. The storm doors can be draped loose to block light rain and add privacy, or stake them out to brace them against the wind. In typical conditions you will likely want to use six stakes to anchor the corners and storm doors. |
| In high wind, alpine weather four additional included guylines can be looped on to the tie outs located near the middle of each door. A fully staked out set up, utilizing all available attachment points, would require 10 stakes. |
| Symmetrical design allows three adults to lay next to each other in either direction, creating a superior sleeping experience. Two hikers can sit up side by side facing out either door. |
| The four storm doors can be left open on nice weather nights for a breeze and great views, and the overhanging canopy prevents light rain or wet trees from dripping into your living space with the doors open. Close the upwind doors to block cold wind, or close all four for 360° rain protection. |
| Both sides of the tent feature a peak vent to increase air flow and deter condensation when the doors are closed. The peak vents also provide air flow in the event that the perimeter is buried in snow. |
| Each screen door has a rainbow zipper which allows easy entry regardless of which storm doors are closed, and they give you access to every vestibule area. Each screen door conveniently drops inwards rather than hanging in your way. No need to roll it up or secure it. |
| All zippers on the tent have been designed to allow the sliders to easily be replaced in the field. Two replacement sliders are included with the tent. Zipper slider replacement instructions can be found here. |
| This tent has a solid, sewn in 12.5 cm (5 inch) tall bathtub floor. The bathtub floor is a rectangle 152 cm wide by 2.18 m long (60 inches x 86 inches). The floor width will fit three adults side by side on standard width sleeping pads, or the tent is excellent for two hikers to spread out with gear. |
| Mesh pockets are conveniently located near each screen door so that they can be accessed from inside or outside the tent. They are a good place to store your cell phone, glasses, headlamp, the tent stuff sack, and spare seam tape (included). The pocket is about 20 cm x 15 cm (8" x 6"). |
| A separate groundsheet is NOT required for this shelter. The floor material is reasonably durable, and all Dyneema® Composite Fabric gear can be easily patched in the field with repair tape. If you do prefer to use a groundsheet as a precaution, Flat Groundsheets are available. |
| There is screen between the bathtub floor and the walls at the ends of the tarp. The edges of the floor are elevated ensuring the screen slopes downwards away from the bathtub. Any condensation, which single wall shelters may experience, will run down the walls and out through the downward sloping screen, rather than onto the floor. Click here for tips to avoid condensation. |
| The tent packs down small, around 18 cm x 30 cm (7” x 12”) including the tent poles. It ships in a loose 20 cm x 33 cm (8” x 13”) stuff sack. The poles have their own stuff sack to protect the tent fabric when packed together. |
| Dyneema Composite Fabric is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals such as flame retardants or water repellents. |
| All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. |
