Their regular old Triplex is an ultralight palace solo with plenty of room for two; the drawbacks are its packed size and the cleared space it needs.

positiveroomy

Owns the old Triplex and an X-Mid Pro 2; for two people they'd go Triplex all day, since once you have the space it's hard to go back.

positiveroomy

Thinks the Triplex they own is still the gold standard for two larger people plus a dog or toddlers.

positiveroomy

Owns a Triplex for trips with someone else, bought before it came with attached guylines, and is very happy with it.

positive

Has found the Triplex perfect for two people at 192 cm and 167 cm, without taking up that much footprint.

positiveroomy

Has pitched their Triplex everywhere in SoCal and the Sierras; it keeps all their gear inside, fits wide pads and is insanely light for the space, their go-to tent for two.

Really likes their Triplex: surprisingly stable in the wind and perfect when camping with their partner, with no trouble finding spots to pitch it so far.

positive

Their Triplex has been their go-to for nearly five years with their girlfriend or in wet weather and they love the space, but in the real world it packs to about 7 liters and the vestibules get splash.

Has had a Triplex for 2+ years including three weeks on the JMT with a teen daughter: comfy for two, too tight for three, it packs large and has a big footprint, and the vestibule feels small on long wet trips.

Their 25.6 oz spruce Triplex pitches quickly and taut, has been rock solid in storms including hail, and feels like a palace for two; they call it money well spent.

Their 2019 spruce Triplex was the perfect tent for them and their daughter over 23 nights on the JMT, though it fills every bit of its stuff sack.

positiveroomy

Loves their Triplex for trips with their wife, who loves the spacious interior; at about 25 oz it is perfect and its packed size has never been an issue.

Their 1.75 lb camo Triplex packs to about the size of a Sunday paper and they love it for two people camping mostly in the Mid-Atlantic.

positive

Carries the Triplex for them and their wife after a Duplex was not enough space; it packed in their Exos 58 with no changes for about a 4 oz increase.

positiveroomy

Was very disappointed when their Triplex let in a lot of splashback in a storm; their pitch was not perfect, but they see a design flaw in the fly not reaching the ground.

Has put over 1,000 km on their Triplex with their son from infancy to toddlerhood with no storm or wind issues; condensation only comes with the doors closed, and one pinhole was easily patched.

Is super happy with their Triplex and thinks it is worth the extra 3 oz for room for a second person or a dog.

positiveroomy

As a Triplex owner, their only gripe is that it is not freestanding, which can matter on rock or tent platforms; otherwise it is an amazing tent, and the green fabric gives good privacy.
