Rab SilTarp Plus Duo

Durable and lightweight, at just 590g (without pegs and guys), this two-to-three-person square tarp shelter packs down small and offers a huge variety of setup options, from the simple to super protective.

Rab says:

For groups travelling fast and light in the mountains, on foot or two wheels, the SilTarp Plus Duo offers a flexible, lightweight option for overnight shelter. Versatile and durable, it can be easily stashed, pulled out, and setup up quickly, weighing in at just 590g and packing down to 25cm x 16cm. It can also be used as additional shelter for your team at basecamp, providing a dry place to sit.

The 3m x 3m large square tarp is made from tough, siliconised 30D Cordura with a PU coating. Ultralight and waterproof, it’s incredibly strong with a taped waterproof central seam. The 16 guy points are reinforced for strength and with five central lifter points there are a huge variety of setup options available, from a simple lean-to, to a full three-dimensional shelter. This tarp includes nine pegs and six guy lines.
