How could you not like this? It’s lighter than plenty of one person shelters, but it’s a palace for one, and easily sleeps two. Setup is easy and it’s overall designed well.  I don’t think I’ve met any user on the AT so far who doesn’t like their Duplex.

– Conor C., ★★★★★

The Duplex Classic tent will allow you to push your limits and hike greater distances; whether losing yourself in the beauty of the Pacific Crest Trail, or weathering an afternoon storm in the Swiss Alps.

Specifically designed for the demands of long distance backpacking with a no frills, no fuss mindset, the award-winning Duplex hits the sweet spot when it comes to size, weight, and features. The Duplex was voted the most popular ultralight tent by Appalachian Trail thru-hikers two years in a row.

The Duplex is lightweight, roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, pitches easily, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces. You won’t find a lighter functional two person tent anywhere on the market.

More weight conscious hikers and solo adventurers may want to check our our smaller Duplex Lite model, or add all the bells and whistles and extra space with the Duplex Pro.

Andrew H. ★★★★★

First pitch took me maybe four minutes, and the fact that it packs down smaller than my old one-person shelter still blows my mind. The headroom is genuinely palace-like for solo trips, yet I’ve had two friends squeeze in for a rainy card game without feeling cramped.

Henry ★★★★★

I was a little skeptical about the weight, but carrying this up a steep trail was a breeze. For one person it feels incredibly roomy, and it still fits two without feeling cramped. The pole design really makes setup straightforward.

William P. ★★★★★

First time setting it up took under ten minutes, and the headroom inside genuinely feels like a small palace. It packs down smaller than my old one-person bivy but sleeps two without anyone touching walls.
