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
- 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
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 at the head end (1), and about 10" in on the ridge at the narrow end (1).
There is an additional tie-out (1) on the ridge about 10" in from the narrow end 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. We recommend using a fastline clip (included in the optional rigging kit). 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.
Compatible with:
- Bug Bivy: Y-zip, Chest zip, Ridge zip
- Wind Bivy
- Simple Tub
- Tub-floor
