The Tarp
This minimalist tarp tapers in width to provide more coverage where you need it and less where you don't. The curved ridge and edges produce a taut, wind-shedding, pitch in the classic a-frame configuration.
- Tapered shape uses space efficiently.
- Made from recycled fabric.
- SilPoly fabric won't sag when the temperature drops.
- SilPoly fabric has lower water retention than SilNylon.
- Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch.
- Reflective tie-outs.
- Pre-installed rigging & tensioners.
- Great for partnering with your bivy.
You will need to seam seal the ridgeline of this tarp prior to use as per these (or use our service).
Tie-outs
Perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2). There are hang loops located at each end of the ridge (2), the middle of the ridge (1), about 12" in on the ridge from the head end (1) and about 10" in on the ridge from the foot end (1). There is an additional tie-out on the ridge about 10" in from the narrow end to allow the option to pitch with an improvised beak (to create the beak, unclip the rear guyline from the end of the ridge and move it to the additional tie-out set referenced above).
