We have retired this product to focus on our core products. We hope to bring it out of retirement someday.

The Tarp

Not too big, not too small. This tarp tapers in width from ~8' at the head to ~6' at the foot and is offered in two lengths to better fit your needs. We think this size tarp is the sweet spot for the solo camper.

  • Tapered shape uses space efficiently.
  • Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch.
  • Taped seams do not require sealing
  • DCF fabric won't sag when the temperature drops.
  • DCF fabric has very low stretch for great wind shedding.
  • Great for partnering with your bivy.
Tie-outs
  • Eight perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2).
  • Five hang loops are located along the ridge (one at each end and three along the length).
  • Each tie-out comes with a loop of UHMWPE cord tied to it. This places wear and tear on the easily replaced loop rather than on the tie-out. It also allows for the easy installation of tensionlocks (not included) using a girth hitch (see "Rigging tab").
Rigging

People have differing preferences when it comes to rigging. For example, some like to use tensioners while others don't. To reduce waste heading to our landfills (from people ditching the [formerly included] rigging in preference of their own), we now offer an optional rigging kit for those who'd like to install our recommended rigging. Please see the rigging tab for instructions on how to install our recommended rigging. If you'd like to take your own approach, feel free to use your own rigging or pick up some components here.

Made in the USA.

Rigging

An optional rigging kit is available for those who wish to set up their tarp per our recommendations.


The kit comes with the following items:


Installation:
  1. Cut your guylines to the lengths shown in the diagram below.
  2. Install the tensioners at each perimeter tie-out using a girth hitch, as shown below.
  3. Tie a loop in one end of each guyline. We prefer to use a bowline knot.
  4. Thread the guylines through the tensioners as shown in the photos below. Match the guyline lengths to the proper location as shown in the diagram. For the two guylines that attach to the ridgeline, slip a grommet onto the guyline prior to threading it through the tensioner.
  5. Tie a knot in the untied end of each guyline. We use a simple overhand knot.

Fit and Length
Size: X-Large, Color: (401) Royal / / White
Yeah this fits perfectly. Very soft, the color pops, keeps you warm. I use these under my sweatshirts, cable sweaters, and my flannel shirts. For me it's about the arm length and how well the item contours to the body to help with warmth. Thank you for getting this right.

Worth it.
Size: Small, Color: Black (001)/White
Living in North Dakota, staying warm is invaluable. UnderArmour Cold Gear is the only base layer the provides warmth, KEEPS warmth, and protects from the unforgiving wind. Every winter I go on the hunt for thermals, layering options and I always find others to be saggy or incredibly tight, either way, once I begin shoveling or snowblowering, and sweating, other products become soaked, sticking to skin, unbreathable and quickly your sweat stuck to your body under layers in now creating a cold,chill, freeze to your body, and on a -10F day, it can become a dangerous situation. I honestly was hesitant to purchase UnderArmour, I felt it was too hyped up or paying for a name. BUT IT IS NOT. UnderArmour isn't a name, it is a company that has made the highest quality base layer, warmth, breathable and it really wicks sweat away; I may not know how it does it, but it works! For sizing, I ordered a small in the women's longsleeve/turtleneck black coldgear. I'm 5ft and roughly 110lbs. I like the fit, it is meant to fit your body. I probably could wear an extra small, but I like the sleeve length in the small and it fits very well. Stay warm folks!

Great cold gear
Size: Large, Color: White (100)/Black
Warm, very comfortable. I wear these all winter. The neck can be a little tight and the cut is definitely fitting. Its got thin like fleece on the inside that keeps you warm.

Tight but stays in place, comfy and keeps you warm
Size: Medium, Color: Charcoal Light Heather (019)/Black
I liked this shirt because it keeps me warm when I'm outside even at negative temperatures, I can work out comfortably in it and the sweat dries out soon; also, the interior of the shirt is made of a very comfortable material. I don't like that this is very tight, cool if you want to use it under your usual sports clothes but if you want to use it as is I would suggest going up a size. I use this shirt almost every day to work out during winter time, I've washed them several times and they still feel as comfortable as the first day.
