Description:

The Duplex is a palace for two people. It has a comfortable amount of width and length for two tall hikers, and tall entryways on both sides so you don't have to crawl over your partner to get in or out.

Any of the four storm doors can be opened or closed independently. Leave all four open on nice nights for a breeze and great views. Close the upwind doors to block cold wind, or close all four for 360° rain protection.

The tarp overhangs the bathtub floor by 4-5 inches (12 cm). In calm rain or under wet trees one or two 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.

Rainbow zippers on both sides of the tent allow easy entry regardless of which doors are closed, and they give you access to every vestibule area.

This tent has a solid, sewn in 8 inch (20 cm) tall bathtub floor rather than a detachable groundsheet like our other tents. The bathtub floor is a rectangle 45 inches wide by 7.5 feet long (114cm x 2.3m), plenty of space for two taller people to stretch out. You can use a full length wide width sleeping pad next to a normal width pad.

Two 6 foot (1.82m) tall people would have about 18" (46 cm) of height at the end of their head and feet (more factoring in the extra lift from the wall guy lines).

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.

Sets up with two trekking poles adjusted to around 48" (122 cm). Slightly taller or shorter fixed length poles will also work. Tent poles are also available if you don't use trekking poles.

Eight stakes are required for this tent - not included.

Set up Instructions are available. You can also watch the Set Up Video.
Construction:

The tarp is constructed from .51 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber, with .7 oz ultralight insect netting. The bathtub floor is made from thicker 1.0 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber. Cuben Fiber is made from Dyneema threads which do not stretch, allowing the tarp to stay taut all night. Nylon materials by comparison can stretch and sag, especially if they get wet.

Fixed length guy lines using no-stretch Dyneema cord make setup easy. No line adjusters or knot tying necessary. The guy lines are bright yellow, which makes them easy to see day or night.

All the seams are sewn and taped, and the tie outs are bonded. No seam sealing necessary!

The expected life span of this shelter is at least one full 2500+ mile thru hike, or many years of casual use with some care. The shelter can also be easily repaired in the field with Cuben Fiber repair tape.
