Rab SilTarp Plus Shelter

The SilTarp Plus Shelter presents a lightweight and highly adaptable solution for those seeking an alternative to a conventional tent. Designed for versatility and resilience, it can be compactly stored, swiftly deployed, and set up with ease. Weighing just 510g without pegs and guy lines, and compressing down to a modest 25cm x 16cm, it provides ample protection for solo travellers or small groups on overnight bivouacs, complete with a closed back wall and a modest porch for added coverage.

Crafted from rugged siliconised 30D Cordura with a PU coating, this ultralight tarp is both waterproof and exceptionally durable. The taped, catenary ridge seam maintains a taut structure, allowing water to shed efficiently and preventing it from flapping in blustery conditions. Reinforced guy points and four central lifter points allow for a variety of pitching options. The shelter is supplied with nine pegs and six guy lines for a complete setup.
