The tent is designed for use with 48-inch hiking poles for pitching to eliminate the need for dedicated poles, which will keep things light and also create a dual-purpose experience. The tent has a [lightweight fabric design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-anchor) and keeps things as light as possible. The Zpacks Duplex Pro tent packs down into a stuff sack to accommodate quick teardowns when getting ready to move on from a campsite. The tent is being launched by the brand this month for $799 and responds to increasing calls from adventurers for gear that can keep up with their lifestyle.
