Description

  The Six Moon Designs Deschutes Tarp is an ultralight shelter designed to give you the most interior room while maximizing protection from the elements and minimizing weight. For people looking for a light shelter option with plenty of space and minimal weight, the Deschutes is a perfect fit! The Deschutes has 44 sq ft of coverage and a peak height of 49”. You've got plenty of room to sit up and the extra interior space lets you spread out your gear. The full-length vestibule zipper makes for easy entry. The simple pyramid structure is easy to set up and sheds wind and rain under the harshest storms.

  Constructed from tough but light Silicone Nylon, the Deschutes Tarp weighs just 13 ounces and is quite affordable. When mated with the Serenity NetTent (sold separately) you have a double wall solo tent that weighs a mere 24 ounces.

FAQ:

I'm over 6', will I fit?
That depends. There are many factors that determine if you'll be comfortable using the Deschutes. It depends upon the height of the setup, the depth of your sleeping pad and your sleeping style. Take a look at the picture of the Deschutes Tarp with the Serenity NetTent, the Serenity is 84" or 7' long and has vertical end walls of 9". Without the Serenity the height is 13" at the point where the Serenity would end. Using a thick sleeping mat will compromise internal space and minimize headroom. Also setting up the Deschutes low to the ground will do the same. However, properly set up, most people will find the Deschutes more than roomy enough for a good night's sleep.

What is the recommended Pole Height?
The Deschutes Tarp can be set up at different heights. At 40" the Deschutes hugs the ground, providing maximum protection. The Deschutes can accommodate a variable height of between 45" to 49 depending upon conditions and your personal preferences. For maximum interior space or using the Serenity NetTent, set your pole to 49". In most cases you'll want to angle your pole so the bottom is inside the vestibule area. This helps to maximize the sleeping area.

Are gut bacteria the secret to qualifying for Kona?
  This October, researchers from all over the world will be teaming up for a first-of-a-kind study on probiotics and the gut microbiome of triathletes at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.   The highly competitive field combined with the gruelling conditions on the Pacific island of Hawaii will serve as the perfect venue for this project, which is being led...
How to switch intensities on the bike
  Elite, draft–legal bike legs can be brutal. Yes, high-aerobic threshold power is critical to be able to deal with the racing demands but there’s more to it than that.   Short laps on the bike generally mean lots of corners, so lots of decelerating and accelerating, while large packs make the effort more like an on/off light switch.   Often the hardest...
Interval training: what it is, how to do it and why you should do it
  Interval training workouts involve structured exercising at different intensities with recovery periods in between. High intensity is usually anaerobic exercise, while the recovery periods involve activity of lower intensity.   High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts exercise the cardiovascular system, which will then improve the athlete's aerobic capacity leading them to exercise for longer and/or more intense levels.   To be faster come...
How to cycle uphill like a pro
  Whether we’re competing at a pimply Perranporth Triathlon or a pancake-flat Dorney, many of our training rides require the strength, skills and necessary strategies to peak up (and downhill) as, unless you live in East Anglia, ride long enough and you’ll be heading upwards… and then downwards.   Hills should be an integral part of your training plan. They naturally build...
Single-sided power meters: what are they, how do they work and what are their benefits
  A single-sided power meter works by having stress gauges on one crank arm or pedal, transmitting this information to your head unit and then this data is simply doubled to produce an estimated figure of your overall power output in watts.   Single-sided power meters have made training and racing with power far more accessible and affordable. There are however plenty...
How to develop a smoother, more efficient pedal stroke
  Pedalling technique is a big topic of debate among cycling coaches, with some advocating drill sessions, single-leg work and the use of pedalling analysis software. At the other end are those who say just get out, ride your bike and your pedal stroke will look after itself.   As with most things, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. If...
How to deal with heavy legs on the bike
  Can't get going on the bike leg post-swim? It's not unusual, and there are several factors and scenarios that could contribute to this frustrating situation mid-race.   Here are some considerations and tips to prevent and treat the feeling should it affect you.   Can the swim affect my bike leg performance?   If you've had a stressful swim – say you've been...
Benchmark your off-season fitness
  Once you’re into the winter mode it’s important to get regular information on how things are going performance-wise.   Rarely does this data contradict what your training diary and intuitive hunch would already suggest, but it’s still good practice to get a measure of how unfit you are, how much you’ve progressed or how on track you are. Data either proves...
What is TSS in cycling?
  Before drilling into what Training Stress Score (TSS) is and how it relates to cycling, there are a few other metrics to understand.   FTP (functional threshold power) was defined as the maximum power that you could hold for 60 minutes. However it’s better viewed as your sustainable power so, for an untrained cyclist, it could be what they could manage...
How to improve your cycling efficiency
  Cadence refers to the amount of times you complete a full pedal revolution each minute, and is something you will naturally settle on with time spent in the saddle.   Studies have shown that it’s an individual preference and also that different types of riding suit different cadence zones – time trialling is generally a slightly lower cadence; bunch racing a...
What is a good cycling pace?
  Back in the day, the benchmark for a decent club cyclist was always being able to ride 'evens' – averaging 20mph (32kph) on the club-run and breaking the hour for a 25-mile (40km) TT.   At a pro level, though, for example, Sam Laidlow’s record-breaking Kona ride in 2022 averaged 27.6mph (44.4kph). And the winner of 2023's fastest-ever Paris-Roubaix, Mathieu van...
How to overcome your fear of going fast on descents
  If you've had a bad fall on the bike recently and are struggling to regain confidence on descents then help is at hand.   You've probably ridden downhill thousands of times without trouble but it just takes one 'off' to smash your confidence and reduce the enjoyment of cycling outdoors.   So, whether the road surface was wet, gravelly or you were...
