Zpacks Altaplex Pro Tent

The Zpacks Altaplex Pro is a single-person pyramid/tipi shelter that pitches with a single trekking pole rather than dedicated tent poles, so you need to bring poles you'd likely carry anyway. Packaged weight is 412 g, and the single-pole pyramid design keeps the pitch simple - one centre pole, guyed-out sides - though pyramid shelters need a taut pitch on firm ground to avoid flapping in wind. It's built as a taller, roomier version of the Altaplex Classic, with more room to sit up and move around inside. Zippered storm doors close the entrance in wet weather, a peak vent lets condensation escape without opening the doors, and Double-L zippers with magnet toggles keep the doors from flapping open on their own. Rated for 3-season use and sized for one person, it suits solo hikers who already carry trekking poles and want a light, simple shelter for spring-to-autumn trips rather than a full four-season, freestanding tent for exposed winter camps.
