Zpacks Altaplex Tent – Brand New Condition – Used only ONE night. This is the camo version, great for stealth camping. Fantastic tent, great amount of space. We just never go solo camping and have no need for this great piece of gear!

“The Altaplex has enough space for a taller, larger solo hiker, or is spacious for an average sized person plus gear.

Sets up with a single trekking pole adjusted to around 56″-60″ (142-152 cm). Our trekking poles are long enough, or you could add a Pole Extender to any shorter trekking pole, add a Tent Pole, or check out our Carbon Fiber Walking Staff.

Sets up with a minimum of 6 stakes, 10 stakes are recommended in windy conditions.

Either of the storm doors can be opened or closed independently. Leave them open on nice nights for a breeze and great views. Close the upwind door to block cold wind, or close both for 360° rain protection. The doors are closed with custom made metal hooks. Door hooks can also be retrofitted on any older tents.

The Altaplex has steeper walls which shed snow and drain condensation a little better than less sloped walls. This tent has enough headroom to be pitched lower to the ground to block more wind, dust, or snow when needed.

There is screen between the bathtub floor and the walls at the ends of the tarp. An elastic cord keeps the bathtub elevated ensuring the screen slopes downwards away from the bathtub. Any condensation will run down the walls and out through the downward sloping screen, rather than onto the floor.

The tarp overhangs the bathtub floor by 4-5 inches (12 cm). In calm rain or under wet trees the doors can be left open for air flow without water dripping on the floor space. In almost all conditions at least one downwind door can be left open for air. For even better rain protection with a door open, use the included clips to pull the screen door back away from the rain spray, as shown.

A Rainbow zipper gives you extra space to get in or out of the tent and gives you access to the vestibule area. The doorway is tall for easy entry.

This tent has a solid, sewn in 8 inch (20 cm) tall bathtub floor. The bathtub floor is a rectangle 36 inches wide by 7.5 feet long (91 cm x 2.3 m), plenty of space for one taller person to stretch out, or for an average sized person plus gear. You can use a full length wide width sleeping pad with room to spare.

This tent is a good choice for a hiker up to about 6′ 6″ (2 meters). If you need extra space try propping up the side guylines for even more headroom. The Duplex tent is also an equally good choice for a taller hiker if you prefer dual doors. You can sleep at a diagonal in the Duplex.

The bathtub floor has a Mesh Pocket. at both ends for storing small items like your flashlight, glasses, phone, etc. The pockets are about 8″ x 8” (20 cm x 20 cm). Older tents can be retrofitted with stick-on Mesh Tent Pockets.

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.
