7' x 9' Flat Tarp
10Fantastic 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.

.66 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric This canopy material choice has the same Dyneema® thread count as standard .55 oz/sqyd, but with a slightly thicker laminate that allows for a darker color or pattern to be printed on the material. The thicker laminate brings the fabric weight to .66 oz/sqyd. It blends in to nature well. It is darker, less transparent and offers more privacy. Dyneema® Composite Fabric has a bit of a sheen to it when it is new, but it dulls down significantly with some use. This video by John Abela shows the opacity and color of the camo fabric. It adds around .6 ounces (17 grams) to the weight of the 7' x 9' Flat Tarp. Puncture Strength: 1.9 lb (8.5 N) Water Resistance: 15,000 mmH₂O Made in the USA. |
