The Hexamid tent is back, and updated for our 20th anniversary! The updated design features a floorless screen perimeter which must be combined with an optional bathtub groundsheet or a bivy.

Originally tested by Zpacks’ founder, Joe Valesko, on his 2009 Continental Divide Trail thru-hike, this ultralight six sided pyramid style shelter protected him all the way from Canada to Mexico; withstanding blizzards in the San Juans, the exposure of the Wind River Range, and the solitude of the New Mexican desert.

Description

Features

Made from waterproof, durable Dyneema® Composite Fabric.
The optional bathtub groundsheet is made from .75 oz/sqyd Dyneema Composite Fabric.
The Hexamid is a floorless shelter with screen around the perimeter. It must be used in conjunction with the optional bathtub groundsheet, or a bivy for ground water protection.
Ultralight insect netting keeps even the smallest insects out. The edges stay pinned down under your bathtub groundsheet.
The optional bathtub groundsheet includes adjustable hooks that connect to the interior tent corners to keep it centered and to keep the walls elevated from groundwater and rain spray. Unhook it to sleep under the stars, or to dry everything faster.
Sets up with a single 52” (132 cm) Trekking Pole or Tent Pole, and just 6 to 10 Stakes (each sold separately).
LineLoc V adjusters allow you to lock in the perfect pitch. Bright yellow 1.3 mm Z-Line Guylines are easy to see day or night to avoid tripping.
Either of the overlapping storm doors can be opened or closed independently. Leave both open on nice weather nights for a breeze and great views. Close the upwind door to block cold wind, or close both for 360° rain protection.
The zipper slider on the screen is field-replaceable. Repair tape and spare sliders are included.
