Just received an update from ZPacks that their Duplex is now offered with a free-standing option upgrade for $150. All Duplexes made after mid-November can be used with the new 10oz pole system and tents older can be sent in for retrofitting.
This is good news in my opinion. I have a Duplex on order and I love that I will now have the option of using it as a free-standing tent (if and when I can suck up the extra money for the poles). My only issue with ordering the Duplex initially was the fact that it wasn't free-standing...all my dreams have now come true.
Anyone else think they may order the new poles for the upgrade?
