Zpacks Offset Trio Tent - is a spacious, ultralight three-person tent designed for hikers who seek comfort and advanced features. It offers the roomiest interior among its category, with a wider, longer floor and extra headroom, accommodating up to 198 cm tall individuals. The tent can comfortably fit two, three, or even four sleeping pads and provides easy access through wide L-shaped zippers on both sides. Its versatile configuration makes it ideal for trios or taller couples looking to spread out during their adventures.

Constructed from Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF), the Offset Trio is robust and waterproof, without harmful chemical treatments. This fabric is 10x stronger than steel, ensuring durability and resistance to abrasion and punctures. The tent also features fully enclosed ultralight insect netting to keep even the smallest bugs out. It sets up using two 122 cm trekking poles or tent poles at the peaks, along with two 81 cm tent poles at the head and foot, creating a spacious interior with steep walls for maximum floor space utilization.

The Offset Trio excels in weather resistance with zippered storm doors and peak vents that maintain airflow while protecting against wind and rain. Magnetic door toggles keep the doors securely rolled up in windy conditions, and the tent’s design ensures it pitches just 10 cm off the ground to reduce drafts. The unique pole configuration provides uniform headroom, allowing occupants to sit up comfortably and change clothes without touching the tent walls. Eight stakes are required for setup, offering a variety of ultralight stakes to choose from.

This tent's footprint measures 175 cm x 254 cm, fitting into tight backcountry spots. It has a 15 cm tall bathtub floor to prevent groundwater seepage and splash-back, and its dimensions comfortably accommodate three adults with additional space for gear. The Offset Trio includes mesh pockets for small items and loops at the peaks for hanging gear. The tent is easy to pack down and carry, weighing less than 680 grams, making it ideal for ultralight backpackers.

Tested in various conditions, the Offset Trio has proven its functionality and resilience. It handles rough weather well, thanks to its fully seam-sealed and taped construction. Despite its ultralight design, the Offset Trio does not compromise on comfort or durability. It offers a large, practical living space and is made from high-quality materials that resist weather and wear. The tent includes features like mesh pockets, YKK #3 zippers for easy field repair, and bright yellow Z-Line guylines for secure pitching. Zpacks Offset Trio is made in the USA and continues Zpacks’ tradition of innovation in ultralight backpacking gear, making it a top choice for hikers looking for a reliable, spacious, and lightweight tent.
