Conflicted…left or right?

Get the two for the same prices as the Zpacks.

And here I thought you were conflicted about whether to let it 'lay' on the left or the right…..

Can you comfortably afford a Zpacks Triplex? I subscribe to buying gear that you will love and use often, as long as it will last and you can afford it.

How often will you be camping solo vs. with your girlfriend?

I tend to think that people are ultimately happier with more space in their shelter vs. almost too little, but I have no solid data to prove this.

If you are going to spend a significant amount of time camping with your girlfriend then you might just want to get the Triplex. You can always add on a very simple single person shelter in the future, like a SMD Gatewood Cape (which can do double duty as a poncho anyway).
