Pastures new (warmer climes) means a rethink in kit

Liking the look / weight etc of some of the ZPacks stuff

Has anyone bought any of their kit?

Thinking specifically of this:

I've got a pocket tarp, only used it once though.
Quality seems excellent though.

My wife got a tent and a few other bits in Colorado a few years ago. Light, strong very well made. Everything was going well untill I got her credit card bill.

I have the Solplex shelter and one of their 30 degree regular bag/quilt numbers. Love my Zpacks kit. The Solplex is one of my favourite pieces of gear.

are you sure it's less protection you need?

Hoping my personal land mine laying rucksack will help with the critters!!

Bought a pocket tarp and bathtub groundsheet in the summer. Very easy company to deal with and will flex production to meet your deadlines. Used the tarp 4 times, excellent build quality and works well. Pricy though!

I've been using a zpacks hexamid tarp for the past four years. Great piece of kit.

Solplex shelter for me too. Fantastic piece of kit.

Nothing personally, but a mate had loads of their stuff - tarps, packs, cuben rain skirt (!) - and loved it

I was shocked at the price though!

I had a Hexamid but sold it to Gari. Nothing wrong with it, high quality and well designed but just realised I prefer other materials above cuben.
