Zpacks Hexamid Pocket Tarp - is the lightest shaped tarp ever, perfect for those looking to shave off the last few grams from their base weight.
This ultralight tarp can be your primary shelter on an ultra-minimalist adventure or can be tucked away in a pocket in case you need it to sit out a surprise afternoon thunderstorm on day trips, or as an emergency shelter.
Super simple by design, the Hexamid Pocket Tarp provides shelter while keeping your base weight at a bare minimum.
MATERIAL: .55 oz/sqyd (blue and olive) or .75 oz/sqyd (spruce green) Standard Dyneema® Composite Fabric
Dyneema® Composite Fabric has several advantages over other materials:
- High strength to weight ratio – the material can handle high wind force and does not tear easily.
- Chemical free, PFC free
- Waterproof – there is no DWR or coating to worry about wearing out. The material will not absorb significant water that will add water weight to your pack
- Stretch-free – the tent will stay taut all night. Nylon material by comparison can stretch and sag, especially if it gets wet.
- Taped seams – our seams are sewn for strength then taped water tight. The tie outs have bonded reinforcements for high strength. No seam sealing will be necessary!
- Easily repairable – Any damage can easily be fixed in the field with our Dyneema® Composite Fabric Repair Tape.
- This tent is semi-transparent. In bright sunlight, a fuzzy silhouette of a person sitting inside the tent would be visible, but you cannot see any details. It has a suitable amount of privacy for changing clothes.
- In lower light (such as in the evening or at night), you cannot see through at all. Another nice thing about this material is that you can see the outlines of trees and your surroundings for a more immersed outdoor experience.
TOTAL WEIGHT: 155 g / 5.5 oz olive/blue tarp including guy lines, sewn in linelocs, and taped seams, 186 g / 6.6 oz spruce green
| Sets up with a single trekking pole adjusted to around 132 cm (52"). A Zpacks Carbon tent pole can also be used if you don't carry a trekking pole. A trekking pole is not included but we have multiple Trekking Pole options to choose from. |
| Sets up with a minimum of 6 stakes but 10 stakes are recommended for a taught pitch in windy conditions. Stakes are not included but we have a variety of Ultralight Stakes to choose from. |
| Packs up tiny. The tarp is a loose fit in an included 13 cm x 15 cm (5" x 6") Small Stuff Sack. The Small Stuff Sack can also hold our optional Hexamid Bathtub Groundsheet. |
| The Hexamid Pocket Tarp includes bright yellow 1.6mm Z-Line guy lines which save weight compared to the 2mm guy lines found on our standard shelters. The guy lines can be swapped out on any of our shelters if desired. |
| Overlapping storm doors allow for a small amount of airflow without the need for additional venting. There are no zippers on the doors that could potentially fail over time. |
| 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. |
| A single closed door creates enough vestibule space for storing a wet backpack or muddy shoes. |
| Ample space for one person plus gear. The tarp is long enough for most people to fully stretch out their arms and legs, and tall enough to sit upright. You may need to shift your position to avoid rain spray depending on the wind direction. |
| The design is shared with Zpacks Hexamid Tent which has perimeter screen, and the Plex Solo Tent which has a traditional sewn in floor. |
| The inside of each corner has a loop for clipping on your groundsheet. Just below the peak, there is a loop on the inside for hanging a flashlight or stuff sack. |
| Dyneema® Composite Fabric can handle high wind loads, and as long as your stakes stay in the ground (use rocks if available) your tent will stay standing. DCF is not particularly noisy, however almost any tarp will make a little noise in the wind. Earplugs are not a bad idea for windy nights. |
| Dyneema Composite Fabric is naturally waterproof and is not treated with any potentially harmful chemicals such as flame retardants or water repellents. |
Integrated 2,5 cm thick foam back panel
