 If you go with their included sheet of polycryo then that adds 3.65 ounces. Currently the price of the two is 375 dollars, and if you opt in on their polycryo sheet, then as I mentioned before, that's an additional eleven dollars. Honestly, for a lightweight shelter, a tent under two pounds that is a two-person shelter and is made out of nylon, this is a very reasonable price

 I'm sure most people will use the stuff sack and use the stakes that it comes with, but some people like to shave off a little weight by using more lightweight tent stakes. Some people might not use the stuff sack, so I like to know that bare bones weight, but if you take all of the other stuff that is included with this tent, then that tacks on an additional four ounces also because this is a nylon tent and it is recommended that you have a ground cloth. If you go with their included sheet of polycryo then that adds 3.65 ounces

 But then if you look at the instructions for setting up The shelter, it mentions that the floor is 15 denier nylon. My guess is that the chart is just a typo and that the floor actually is made with 15 denier nylon and the body tendineae nylon. just because typically a shelter will have a beefier fabric on the floor because it's going to see more abrasion than the top of the shelter. Unfortunately, I can't really tell a difference from feeling the body and the floor, so if somebody knows for sure, just let us know

 Unfortunately, I didn't find it in the tent bag with everything else but the first time that I set up this tent was on trail in the dark, so I think I probably ended up dropping it at the campsite and not noticing when I packed up the next morning. But I ended up using one of the additional tie outs as a makeshift clothesline anyway just to test out the function. The weight of the two, as far as the shelter itself with already attached guidelines, is 23.5 ounces

Post-Hike Tent Review: Gossamer Gear The Two

A new tent might be $150, but the weight savings might be a better value where as your cook set is not bad and would cost quite a bit to shave 3oz. By changing my tent from a 5.5lb Sierra Designs to a Gossamer Gear The Two.

Hi all! I want to become a faster and more efficient backpacker, but I'm currently a student and (for the most part) stuck with the gear I have. Hoping to get some input on cheap fixes I can make to drop some weight! On my last trip I got below 29lb with food &amp; water for the first time (my 3 season sleeping bag is heavier than the one I use over the summer), and even with that I noticed the difference. I'm linking my summer backpacking LighterPack. Let me know what you think!

5 oz, $375.The nylon “The Two” only weighs a few more ounces than the DCF Two but is virtually identical in design.  It packs up even smaller (11″ x 5″ vs “19 x 5”) because it doesn’t have a DCF rain fly, and is less transparent, but will experience slightly more sag at night when if the rain fly gets wet.Disclosure: Gossamer Gear loaned the author this tent for this review

 The tent also has panel pullouts that you can guy out to pull those areas out further if desired. However, the loops that you tie your cord to are impossibly small and hard to thread in the field, so you’ll want to probably want to add them at home and keep those guylines permanently attached.Durability and MaintenanceThe DCF Two is very well made with reinforced panel pullouts on all the guylines, seam-taped seams, and immaculate sewing. But it is lean and mean by design, so you’ll want to treat it kindly and maintain it after each use

Durability and MaintenanceThe DCF Two is very well made with reinforced panel pullouts on all the guylines, seam-taped seams, and immaculate sewing. But it is lean and mean by design, so you’ll want to treat it kindly and maintain it after each use. For instance, the 7 denier floor is very thin and I’d recommend using a lightweight footprint with this tent if you camp one on the packed-earth or rock dust tent sites commonly found on prepared tent sites. Gossamer Gear sells a plastic sheeting called polycryo for footprints that is super lightweight but extremely tough or you can just buy window wrap on Amazon for the same purpose

A number of leading ultralight tents are built with Dyneema—the high-tech fabric commonly used in boat sails and praised for its strength-to-weight ratio—and the Zpacks Duplex is best in class. With an incredibly low all-in weight of just 1 pounds 5 ounces (counting stakes and using two trekking poles for support), it’s by far the lightest tent here, yet still sleeps two and includes a bathtub floor for protection from the elements. In use, we found the Zpacks to feel decently roomy for its weight with a 48-inch peak height, and you can adjust the dimensions fairly easily depending on the campsite and conditions. In the end, no ultralight tent is perfect, but the Duplex is a high-quality option that has been relied upon by serious thru-hikers for years.

What are the shortcomings of the Zpacks Duplex? We’ve had no issues with water entering the tent—even while camping in snow—but the open sides and thin materials definitely can make it feel drafty in certain conditions. Second, with a trekking pole design you don’t get the steep walls of tents like the Copper Spur above, making the Zpacks a feasible but cramped option for two backpackers. And third, setting up the tent is more complicated than with a freestanding model, so we recommend practicing before heading out to make sure you know how to get a taut, even pitch. Last but not least, $699 is a big investment for a small tent, but for the right person the weight-savings are well worth it... Read in-depth reviewSee the Zpacks Duplex

I want bug protection and rain protection because I don't like bugs (f ticks) and sleeping out gives me the creeps sometimes, so not really into the tarp and bivy. It seems to me like the Zpacks Duplex (occasionally bring my wife or a friend) would be a good option, being 19oz and having bug and rain protection integrated (not a tarp or bivy system, so it's simpler i.e. one piece)

r/Ultralight - The Purchase Advice Thread - Week of December 20, 2021

 \- I like a larger space away from flies and mossies in Oz to hang out and read at the end of the day if required. Also if holed up avoiding rain the extra space is nice.

Hello fellow hikers! 

Looking to upgrade from my old/heavy REI single tent. Looking mainly at the Zpacks Duplex and Gossamer Gear The Two. Beside the price difference, does anyone have any experience or pros/cons for these two tents? 

TIA!

Gossamer The Two vs. Zpacks Duplex

 One of the biggest benefits to the Dynamo material is that it's waterproof. This tent is 100 waterproof. I've never had any sort of leaking. I've had no issues

 You don't have to worry about the coatings aging and having to be reapplied. There's very little here with this tint that's going to age and that's not the case with copycat versions of this tent. I know that I've said a lot in regards to this tent, so let me wrap this up. in the end: this is a very impressive tint

 Thousands and thousands of miles with no issues at all. That is impressive. One of the biggest benefits to the Dynamo material is that it's waterproof. This tent is 100 waterproof

 it is. With all of my experience with this tent, I'm ready to pass on my pros and cons. So let's start with the pros. First, This tent is without a doubt, extremely lightweight

Everyone Copies This Tent For A Reason - Zpacks Duplex Ultralight Tent Review

 So I won't go into any more specs on it because I'm sure you can find a lot of information out there about it. Let's talk about my opinion of this tent after 3,000 miles on the trail and what I like about it and what I don't like about it. So first off, obviously what I love about the tent is how insanely lightweight and roomy it is. As far as I'm concerned, it is the only tent that is this big that has this much room and is that low in weight

 So first off, obviously what I love about the tent is how insanely lightweight and roomy it is. As far as I'm concerned, it is the only tent that is this big that has this much room and is that low in weight. so that is definitely a plus for me. and it's why a lot of other people like it

ZPacks Duplex 3,000+ Mile Review

 However, the ONE thing that is bad about BOTH tents is the way the end tie outs are sewn and sealed. The tents BOTH leak at the tie out points. This is due to the way they are sealed. It seams as if the seam seal was applied FIRST and then the tie outs sewn into the fabric

UPADATED AGAIN: I have purchased both the 1 and 2 person tent. Seems like very well quality and lightweight. However, the ONE thing that is bad about BOTH tents is the way the end tie outs are sewn and sealed. The tents BOTH leak at the tie out points

 The tent leaked at both ends where the tie outs are sewn into the fabric. These points are seam sealed, so I do not know why or how it leaked at both points. The water on the floor of the tent was about the size of a quarter. I have since sprayed all of the fly seams and the tie out points with silicone treatment

Very lightweight.

 So we just/\s/want to lower that down and make sure you're/\s/ not getting rain splatter and wind coming/\s/into the tent so we'll just open the doors. We'll take our trekking poles which/\s/are set to around 120 centimeters now/\s/ Zpax recommends 122. But for a storm pitch you/\s/can come down to 110 or maybe even lower and/\s/ you can see that just brought us down a bunch. So/\s/now we'll just tighten this guy line a little bit/\s/ redo our doors, tighten our doors, you can/\s/see how much lower that even brought us/\s/ Now if we go ahead and do the same to the other/\s/side or we could technically even bring this lower/\s/ and we could bring yeah, if it was really storm and/\s/then we'd want to bring this in basically as tight/\s/ as you can for the doors

 Don't just stuff them door flaps in guy/\s/lines to the middle mosquito net tucked under. Now we like to float it in thirds first wind. a little more complicated when it's/\s/windy just tuck that back in there so we're folding thirds and/\s/then pull it into the middle, squish the air out again. make sure that/\s/everything is like tucked inside

How to Setup the Zpacks Duplex | + Tips & Tricks

 So for 2.3 ounces more weight and fifty dollars more in cost, is the extra six inches of floor space worth it? For the duplex cell, that's for you to decide for me since I've already bought the duplex cell, and I really loved the fact that I didn't have to stress over whether my feet were touching the wall and again, I didn't have my hood getting damp for me. Yes, because 20.8 ounces is still ridiculously light for a two-person tent, but if I was having to make that decision right now to go with the new duplex or the Duplex L, it would be pretty hard for me to make that decision and also just to make you aware

 First off, I love that this is a very lightweight two-person backpacking shelter. Finding a two-person shelter. that weighs significantly less than two pounds I think is a win if weight is important to you. The Duplex Cell is what I would say is the second most simple two-person tent up, the first being the duplex

 Yes, because 20.8 ounces is still ridiculously light for a two-person tent, but if I was having to make that decision right now to go with the new duplex or the Duplex L, it would be pretty hard for me to make that decision and also just to make you aware. if you're going to use the Duplex L as an actual two-person tent, you're planning to go backpacking with another person and share that space for only .8 ounces more

 The Z Packs Duplex L is very similar to the duplex that you all have seen me use in the past, but it's got more usable length, hence the name Duplex L. The difference as far as dimensions between the duplex and the Duplex L are in the bathtub floor. They take up the same space the same footprint at a campsite, but the floor width on the Duplex L is actually one inch more narrow than the regular duplex, and the floor length is a half a foot longer. So six more inches of space either in the head area or the foot area, depending on how you position yourself in the tent
