Camping Tarps
Our camping tarps range from a small solo tarp to a group shelter. Rig 3.5 (2.4m x 1.4m) packs to the size of your hand and suits one person on bikepacking and fast trips. Rig 7 (2.8m x 2.4m) sleeps two or three underneath. 3 Square suits hammock camping or an A-frame for two or three, and 4 Square covers 16m² for groups at 1.3kg. For a tarp tent, the Tarpstar pyramid shelters pitch with a trekking pole or our Vertex carbon pole.
Camping Tarps
Tarps fend off the worst of the weather in a lightweight camp setup. Our Rig tarps are made from 30D Cordura nylon, taped on the underside with a siliconised top coat, and have Hypalon-reinforced attachment points for many pitching options.

Designed by us, direct to you
A tarp keeps the weather off without shutting out the view. Pitch it high to watch the weather come in, or low and tight when the wind picks up.
Our gear goes directly from us to you. We design our tarps here in the UK, and our warehouse team sends them straight to your door, or you can buy them in one of our stores. There are no distributors or retailers in the chain. It's how we keep making high-performing tarps at the best possible value.
