The ideal ultralight tent for hikers up to 6’6”, the Altaplex is the perfect place to wait out the rain on the Appalachian Trail or to recover after a long day of bushwhacking.

Specifically designed for taller backpackers and thru-hikers, this lightweight tent provides ample head and foot room while still easily pitching with a single trekking pole.

A great fit whether you are a triple-crowner or just out for a weekend in the Smokies. This tent is roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, can be pitched quickly, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces. Tall hikers won’t find a lighter tent with this much space anywhere on the market.

Features:

  • Sets up with a single trekking pole adjusted to around 56"-58" (147 cm). If your trekking poles do not extended to 56" (142cm), you can add one of our Trekking pole jacks to increase the height or considering using one of our Carbon Fiber Staffs or Tent Poles. 58" poles and staffs may need to be angled a bit to get the perfect pitch. A trekking pole is not included but we have multiple Trekking Pole options to choose from.
  • Sets up with a minimum of 6 stakes but 10 stakes are recommended in windy conditions. Stakes are not included but we have a variety of Ultralight Stakes to choose from.
  • The storm doors can be opened or closed independently. Leave one or two doors open in nice weather for a breeze and great views. Close the upwind door to block cold wind, or close both for 360° rain protection. The overlapping doors are closed with custom made metal hooks, with a toggle at the center to keep them pinned.
  • Overlapping storm doors allow for a small amount of airflow without the need for additional venting. There are no zippers on the doors that could potentially fail over time.
  • A single closed storm door creates enough vestibule space for storing a wet backpack or muddy shoes, if you don't want to bring them into the tent.
  • The screen door has a rainbow zipper which allows easy entry regardless of which storm door is closed. You can access the vestibule area on either side. The screen door conveniently drops inwards rather than hanging in your way. No need to roll it up or secure it.
  • The canopy overhangs the bathtub floor and the screen doors by 4-5 inches (12 cm). In calm rain or under dripping 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.
  • Stick on Magnet Toggles are also available for those looking to upgrade their storm door closing mechanism.
  • For even better rain protection with a door open, use the included elastic cords to pull the screen door back away from the rain spray as seen in the photo gallery.
  • There is screen between the bathtub floor and the walls around the perimeter. An elastic cord keeps the bathtub elevated, ensuring the screen slopes downwards away from the bathtub. Any condensation, which single wall shelters may experience, will run down the walls and out through the downward sloping screen, rather than onto the floor. 
  • This tent has a solid, sewn in 8 inch (20 cm) tall bathtub floor. The bathtub floor is 36 inches (91 cm) wide by 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) long. There is plenty of space to stretch out, with room for your gear beside you or at the ends of the floor.
  • If you are particularly tall, you might try propping up the side guylines using Trecking Pole Cups for even more headroom.
  • A Mesh pocket is conveniently located near the door so that it can be accessed from inside or outside the tent. It is a good place to store your cell phone, glasses, headlamp, the tent stuff sack, and spare seam tape (included). The pocket is about 8" x 8" (20 cm x 20 cm).
  • 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 (included). If you do prefer to use a groundsheet as a precaution, flat ground sheets are available.
  • All of our tents do pretty well in the wind. 60 mph (100 km/h) gusts are no problem. The material can handle high wind loads, and as long as your stakes stay in the ground (use rocks if available) your tent will stay standing. Dyneema® Composite Fabric is not particularly noisy, however almost any tent will make a little noise in the wind. Earplugs are not a bad idea for windy nights.
  • Dyneema Composite Fabric is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals such as flame retardants or water repellents.
  • All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. 
  • Made in the USA.

Really impressed with the quality and absorption
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 12 Double Rolls (Pack of 1), Package Size Name: Double, Size: 12 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these Sparkle paper towels for a few days now, mostly in my kitchen, and I’m honestly impressed. The absorption is great, it handles spills like coffee or oil without needing a bunch of sheets. I also love the “tear-a-square” feature because you can use just what you need and avoid waste. They’re pretty strong too, don’t fall apart easily while cleaning, which makes a big difference for tougher messes. So far, totally worth it and I would definitely buy again.

Lifesaver for a Single mom With Kids and Constant Messes
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 24 Double Rolls (Pack of 1), Package Size Name: Double, Size: 24 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
What I Expected: I honestly expected these to be just another basic paper towel that looked good in the listing but ran out fast, fell apart, or left a lot of lint the second my kids spilled something. The listing made them seem thick, strong, and a good value for a busy household. What I Got: After using them for a few weeks, I can say they have been a literal lifesaver. Between two kids, muddy shoes, spilled juice in the truck, quick cleanups in the garage, and wiping down the RV before a trip, these have held up way better than I expected. I’ve noticed minimal shrinkage after wet use, and they rarely leave any lint behind, which is a huge plus for cleaning everything from countertops to tools. What I Like: The pick-a-size sheets are great because I do not waste a full sheet for a small mess, and the towels are strong enough that I usually only need one. They are soft enough for everyday kitchen use but still durable when cleaning greasy tools or bigger messes. Quick tip for buyers: keep an extra roll in the truck or RV because they come in handy more than you think. What I Don’t Like: The only downside is that the rolls are large and take up a little more storage space. Final Verdict: Great for families, busy parents, garages, trucks, or RVs. Minimal shrinkage, low lint, and super durable—I will definitely buy these again.

Sparkle Pick-A-Size
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 24 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
These are not large rolls. I can't say if they are lint free or not. I only use them for spills or to dry my hands. The price is right and they do the job we need. These are satisfactory paper towels for my house. I will buy them again.

This mattress cover is great! Well worth your money
Size: Twin XL, Style: 1 Green
This mattress cover is so comfortable. I am scheduled for back surgery in a week so when I find something I can sleep on and call it comfortable you best believe it is! It fits well, it’s pretty and it’s very fluffy. Seems to be made very well. I am confident that I’ll get a lot of wear out of it.

Very Comfortable - Love this!
Size: Full, Style: 1 Green
So far, so good! I am going on my first night trying this mattress topper out. It feels very comfortable and definitely is fluffy, but not too fluffy. I did not "fluff it out" or put it in the dryer to fluff it out quicker, so perhaps it still needs some time to fluff out some more. It was very easy to place on my mattress. I didn't have to fight with it as I normally would when fitting a sheet to my mattress. I love that it stretches over the sides of the mattress to hold it in place. The bamboo truly gives a cooler effect, which will be very helpful in the summer time. I used a microfiber mattress topper prior to ordering this topper. So far, the comparison is that this one appears to be well made and durable, unlike the microfiber one I had before that changes color as it gets old and dirty and is impossible to clean. The old one actually ripped and would constantly move. I am excited to see how well this one holds up over time. I had no trouble placing a fitted sheet over this mattress topper. I love that this one is machine washable and is able to be placed in the drier. It feels very nice on my legs and is comfortable for my back as well. The padding doesn't feel thick or bulky but definitely adds a softness that is super comfortable. It's too soon to tell if it's water resistant as I haven't tested that feature out yet. I placed it over an old, springy mattress and it truly feels like I have a whole new mattress. Time will tell how well this product does the job and I will update this review if I end up having any issues with it.
