Selling Zpacks Altaplex Classic Tent (2023). Color: Spruce Green. Used – like new. 16.5 oz. Including stuff sacks, MSR groundhogs 4 big, 2 mini, carbon fiber pole jack (~$20 value) 2 UL nail stakes. This was my first UL tent and I loved it as a 6’2” hiker. It was used maybe a dozen times and is in great condition. It was great in a big storm on the CT and held up well to rainy nights on wet ground in the Olympics. I swapped it out for Zpacks Plex solo lite because at the time it seemed reasonable to spend $600 more to save 4 oz 🙂 Having owned both I do think this is the better tent because the tent floor on the ‘lite’ versions is so thin that I’m getting puncture holes in my Plex Solo Lite. But the gram-weanie ship has sailed so I’m selling the Altaplex Classic and will eventually put 4 oz on tenacious and Dyneema tape on my plex solo :)
Currently this tent retails for $669 new. I’m asking for $300 (incl. shipping within the continental US). PayPal
Zpacks description: “The ideal ultralight tent for hikers up to 6’6”, the Altaplex is the perfect place to wait out the rain on the Appalachian Trail or to recover after a long day of bushwhacking. Specifically designed for taller backpackers and thru-hikers, this lightweight tent provides ample head and foot room while still easily pitching with a single trekking pole. A great fit whether you are a triple-crowner or just out for a weekend in the Smokies. This tent is roomy, well-ventilated, packs down small, can be pitched quickly, and can be set up in the tightest of spaces.” Read more about it here https://zpacks.com/products/altaplex-tent
