Fantastic product and absolute freedom for the minimalist hiker. I added some Zpacks stick on hang loops on the inside for a mosquito net and it’s golden. Highly recommended.

Our ultralight Flat Tarps are a minimalist adventurer’s dream. This tarp has plenty of space for a single hiker and their gear.  Whether you’re hiking to a remote destination or cross-country bikepacking over uneven terrain, this ultralight shelter will set up easily and keep you dry and protected.  This tarp can put you well on your way to that elusive sub-7 lb base weight.

Set the tarp up as an A-Frame and enjoy the views and ventilation provided by both ends of the tarp. If the weather becomes harsh, the tarp can be set up in a variety of configurations for maximum protection.

A small DCF stuff sack, 50ft of 2.0mm Yellow Z-Line cord and 2 Mini-D Carabiners come standard with our flat tarps but are not included in the listed weight.

.55 oz/sqyd Standard Dyneema® Composite Fabric

It has high tensile strength and can handle strong winds, storms, and all the typical conditions a tent will be in. All Dyneema® Composite Fabric material can easily be repaired in the field with the included repair tape if it were to get a puncture.

The material is semi-transparent, allowing you to see the silhouette of trees when looking out. In bright sunlight, you can see the fuzzy silhouette of a person when looking in, but it is opaque in low evening light.
