The Tarp
There's something special about sitting under your tarp as raindrops fall around you. This tarp tapers in width to provide more coverage where you need it and less where you don't. The curved ridge and edges help produce a taut, wind-shedding pitch in the classic a-frame configuration.
- Tapered shape uses space efficiently
- Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch
- Recycled fabric option
- Silpoly won't sag when the temperature drops
- Lower water retention than silnylon
- Reflective tie-outs
- Great for partnering with your Bug Bivy or our 1P Bug Shelter.
Tie-outs
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), on the ridge near each end (2), and the middle of the ridge (1).
There is an additional tie-out near the foot end of the ridge to allow the option to pitch with an improvised rear beak. To make the beak, move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out (a fastline clip is recommended to make the transition quick and easy). Stake out the rear corners so the rear edge is pulled taut between the corners.
Note that the color of the UltraGrid reinforcements may vary from what's shown.
Seam Sealing
You'll need to seam seal the ridgeline of this tarp prior to use as per these instructions (or use our service).
Compatible with:
- Bug Bivy: Y-zip, Chest zip, Ridge zip
