Super light and extremely roomy for a 6’2″ person! Sets up very quickly and durably minimalistic! In essence perfect!!

– Dan B., ★★★★★

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.

An optional flat groundsheet is available for added protection here.

*If your trekking pole does not extend to at least 56″ (142cm) you will need one of our Trekking Pole Jacks, 58″ Tent Poles, or our Carbon Fiber Staff to set up this tent.

**Our Plex Solo Tent has a similar design, sized for an average height hiker with a 52″ trekking pole. The Altaplex Lite is also available in lighter fabric.
