Zpacks Offset Duo Tent - is specifically designed for the demands of long distance backpacking. The Offset Duo is the roomiest two person tent from Zpacks accommodating couples and taller hikers. It hits the sweet spot in terms of weight and features while still providing a luxurious amount of internal space.
The Offset Duo is constructed with Dyneema Composite Fabric and features tape seams to keep water out. The tent pitches by inserting trekking poles adjusted to around 122 cm (48 inch) at each peak and a 81 cm (32 inch) pole inserted into two integrated cups at the foot end of the tent. This creates a ton of space to sit up and stretch out inside the tent. 81 cm (32 inch) tent pole and storage sling comes standard with the Offset Duo.
Trekking poles are not included but you can check Trekking Poles here. If you do not use trekking poles, we have tent poles available.
This tent can be pitched with a minimum of 7 stakes or stake out all 8 guylines per added stability in windy conditions.
The tent package includes: guylines, sewn in linelocs, taped seams, and a stuff sack. 8x Stakes are required but are not included, you can buy them 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:
TOTAL WEIGHT: 555 g / 19.6 oz includes guy lines, sewn in linelocs, taped seams, and a stuff 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.
This tent has fully enclosed ultralight insect netting. The holes in the screen are super tiny and even the smallest insects can not get through. |
The 48” poles are offset towards the head end of the tent creating a wide entryway with an L shaped zipper that drapes to help stop mosquitoes from chasing you into the tent. The offset poles also create a steeper wall with additional headroom. |
The 32” pole at the foot further expands the best in class internal volume of the Offset Duo by providing copious amounts of foot room for taller hikers. If your partner has a third trekking pole available the 32" tent pole can be left home. |
The unique pole configuration creates uniform, side to side, headroom which allows two adults to sit up next to each other with plenty of space to change their clothes without touching the walls or ceiling. The large amount of practical usable space creates a superior user experience for couples when compared to the cramped interior of the steep asymmetrical walls found in other offset tent pole designs. |
A smaller 135 x 254 cm (53” x 100”) corner to corner footprint allows you to squeeze into those hard to find backcountry flat spots, providing a decisive advantage over comparable asymmetrical designs with larger footprints that require almost 35 to 40% more flat space to properly set up. |
Pitches just 10 cm (4") off the ground which reduces drafts while still providing airflow around the perimeter. |
Both entries feature zippered storm doors. Leave the larger downwind doors open on a nice night for a breeze and great views or close both doors to block cold wind and provide 360 degree rain protection. The large downwind doors can be rolled up and out of the way with magnetic toggles. |
There’s a screen between the bathtub floor and the walls at the ends of the tent. An adjustable cord keeps the bathtub floor elevated ensuring the screen slopes downward away from the bathtub. Any condensation will run down the walls and out through the downward sloping screens. |
The tarp overhangs the bathtub floor by 7.6 cm 3 inches (3 inch) all the way around. In calm rain or under wet trees the downwind doors can be left open for air flow without water dripping or falling into your living space. In almost all conditions at least one door can be left open for air flow. For even better protection with a door open in the rain you can attach the cord at the foot of the bathtub floor to the screen door zipper to pull the screen door inwards away from rain spray. |
Both sides feature a peak vent to increase air flow and help reduce condensation when the storm doors are closed. |
Both entries feature a wide L shaped zipper which gives you ample space to get in and out of the tent or to quickly access to the vestibule spaces. The L shape allows the screen door to drape across the entry and reduce the amount of mosquitoes and insects that follow you into the tent. The screen rolls up and can be secured with a dedicated magnet toggle. |
The two door set up makes it easy to get in and out of the tent without disturbing your partner. |
This tent has a longer and wider sewn in bathtub floor that is 239 cm (94”) long and measures 127 cm (50”) wide from the head to mid torso before tapering down to 112 cm (44”) at the foot. The bathtub floor has 15 cm (6") tall walls to keep you protected from groundwater or splash back. |
The bathtub floor accommodates two large tapered 63.5 cm (25”) wide pads and allows two larger adults to lay side by side. There is plenty of space for two average size hikers to stretch out or, for a single taller hiker up to 198 cm (6’6”) with their gear. |
The floor also includes integrated trekking pole flaps that allow you to pin down the floor with the tips of your trekking poles, or with 48" tent poles. This prevents the floor from blowing around, and also allows easy one-handed operation of the door zipper. |
For added durability, the bathtub floor is made with Dyneema Composite Fabric material that is almost twice as thick as the standard canopy material and is more resistant to abrasions and punctures. |
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. |
Inside you’ll find mesh pockets on each side of the tent for storing smaller items like a headlamp, glasses, or phone. This is where you will also find the repair tape that comes standard with all of our tents. |
Loops at each peak allow you to add our Gear Nest, hang your headlamp, or string a cord between both loops to hang items inside. |
Built with high quality YKK #3 zippers on the screen and storm doors. All zippers on the tent have been designed to allow the zippers sliders to easily be replaced in the field. Two replacement sliders are included with the tent. |
All tie outs feature LineLoc V adjusters and bright yellow Z-Line guylines, allowing you to lock in the perfect pitch. |
All of Zpacks tents do pretty well in the wind. The material can handle high wind loads. As long as your stakes stay in the ground (use rocks if available) your tent will stay standing. Dyneema® Composite Fabric is not a particularly noisy fabric; however, almost any tent will make a little noise in the wind. Earplugs are not a bad idea for windy nights. |
All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. |
