Specifically designed for taller backpackers and thru-hikers

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 or tent pole.

Leave one or both doors open in nice weather for a breeze and great views. Close the upwind door to block cold wind, or close both for 360° rain protection. In calm rain or under dripping trees the doors can be left open for air flow without water dripping on the floor space. In almost all conditions, at least one downwind door can be left open for air. For even better rain protection with a door open, use the included elastic cords to pull the screen door back away from the rain spray.

The Altaplex Lite utilizes Zpacks proven 0.55 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric canopy combined with a 0.75 oz/sqyd DCF floor material which is 25% lighter and packs down smaller relative to their standard tent floors. It comes preconfigured with bright yellow 1.3 mm Z-Line guy-lines which save weight compared to the 2mm guy lines on our standard tents.

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. Tall hikers won’t find a lighter tent with this much space anywhere on the market.

Features:

  • Taped seams
  • Tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength
  • Storm doors can be opened or closed independently
  • Overlapping storm doors allow airflow without the need for additional venting - no zippers that could potentially fail over time
  • Vestibule has enough space for storing a wet backpack or muddy shoes
  • Rainbow zipper on screen door allows easy entry regardless of which storm door is closed
  • Screen door drops inwards rather than hanging in your way - no need to roll up or secure
  • Tarp overhangs bathtub floor & screen doors - in calm rain or under dripping trees the doors can be left open for air flow without water dripping on the floor space
  • Sewn in 8" tall bathtub floor has plenty of space to stretch out, with room for your gear beside you or at the ends of the floor
  • Mesh pocket conveniently located near screen door can be accessed from inside or outside the tent
  • Dyneema® is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals such as flame retardants or water repellents
  • Easily repairable - any damage can easily be fixed in the field with DCF Repair Tape
  • All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship

Includes:

  • Altaplex Lite Tent
  • DCF stuff sack
  • 54" DCF repair tape
  • Two spare zipper sliders

    Practical Protection meets everyday elegance
    Size: Iphone 15, Color: Black
    When it comes to phone cases, functionality often battles design, leaving users to compromise on one or the other. However, the Miracase Magnetic Series Designed for iPhone 15 strikes an impressive balance, making it a standout choice for everyday users. Here’s a deeper dive into this case’s performance, practicality, and aesthetics. Unpacking Military-Grade Protection The first feature that grabs your attention is the military-grade protection claim. Unlike many cases that use the term as a buzzword, Miracase delivers. The corners are reinforced with shock-absorbing material, offering a solid defense against accidental drops. I tested this (intentionally dropping the phone from about waist height), and the iPhone 15 emerged unscathed—a testament to the case's reliability. The anti-scratch back panel further ensures your phone looks pristine, even with daily use. MagSafe Compatibility Done Right This case integrates seamlessly with MagSafe accessories, from chargers to wallets. The magnets are powerful enough to keep your MagSafe charger locked in place but not so strong as to make removing the accessories a struggle. Charging performance remains efficient, with no noticeable slowdowns compared to using the phone without a case. This makes it ideal for users who rely on wireless charging. Dual Screen Protectors: A Value-Added Bonus The inclusion of two screen protectors is a thoughtful touch. These aren’t flimsy add-ons; they are well-crafted with edge-to-edge coverage and excellent clarity. Application is easy with the provided guide frame, minimizing air bubbles—a detail often overlooked by competitors. Anti-Fingerprint and Smudge Resistance One of the standout features is the case’s anti-fingerprint coating. Many cases promise this but fail in practice. After a week of continuous use, the Miracase still looked clean and sleek, even with sweaty hands or frequent handling. The matte finish not only resists smudges but also adds a touch of understated elegance to your device. Slim Profile Meets Grip Security Despite its rugged features, the case maintains a slim profile, sliding easily into pockets. The textured sides provide a secure grip, reducing the chances of accidental drops. This combination of slimness and grip is rare in protective cases and makes the Miracase ideal for on-the-go lifestyles. What Sets It Apart? What truly makes the Miracase Magnetic Series unique is its thoughtful design for real-world use. It doesn’t just protect your phone; it enhances your interaction with it. From its MagSafe efficiency to its smudge-resistant finish, it’s clear that Miracase designed this case with user convenience in mind. Who Is This For? This case is perfect for individuals who want a no-nonsense protective case that doesn’t compromise on style or functionality. It’s particularly suited for professionals, students, and anyone who appreciates the integration of thoughtful design and durable performance. Final Verdict At its price point, the Miracase Magnetic Series Designed for iPhone 15 is an exceptional value. With its military-grade protection, MagSafe compatibility, and added extras like quality screen protectors, it confidently holds its own in a crowded market. Whether you prioritize protection, style, or everyday convenience, this case delivers on all fronts. Rating: 9.5/10 A near-perfect blend of style, durability, and user-focused design.

    Great phone case!
    Size: iPhone 16e/17e, Color: Black
    Perfect protective case for my iPhone 17, without it the phone was too small and easily slipped out of my hand this makes it easier to hold but it’s not too big, it even comes with two screen protectors.
