Gear Review: Sea to Summit’s Escapist Tarp

Packing down to about the size of a Nalgene, this nine- by nine-foot ultra-lightweight tarp clocks in at just 12 ounces—no more than a pet hamster. While it’s a perfect for providing a dry shelter on rainy days, this versatile tarp also pairs with a bug tent (sold separately) when set up as an A-frame to create a truly minimalist home away from home for two campers. Eight reinforced tie-out points make set up a breeze.

 

Specs:

  • Made from 15 Denier Sil/PU coated 1,200mm waterhead rated Nylon
  • Eight Hypalon and bar-tack reinforced tie-out points
  • Extremely lightweight and compact
  • Reinforced corners with cord lock and guy lines
  • A trekking pole can be placed through the circular bar-tack
