Rab 2022 SilTarp 3

Durable and lightweight, at just 650g, this three-to-five-person shelter packs down small, offering quick-setup refuge to intrepid mountain travellers.

Rab says:

For groups travelling fast and light in the mountains, on foot, two wheels, or even for adventure racing, the SilTarp 3 offers a flexible, lightweight alternative to a tent. Versatile and durable, it can be easily stashed or pulled out, and setup up quickly, weighing in at just 650g and packing down to 25cm x 19cm. It also offers additional shelter for your team at basecamp, providing a dry place to sit.

The 3m x 3.66m, large rectangular tarp is made from tough, siliconised 30D Cordura with a PU coating. Ultralight and waterproof, it’s incredibly strong and resilient. The 20 guy points are reinforced for strength and offer a variety of different setup options with one central lifter point.
