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.

Large Bellowed Pockets, Articulated Fit for Muscular Legs: Patagonia Women’s PowSlayer Ski Pants
  We stood at the top of the line with wind tossing snow from every direction. The day-long storm was barely subsiding, and the conditions were deep — we even had to set a new skintrack on the 3,000-foot ascent.   I was happy to be wearing the Patagonia PowSlayer Pants, a super-light, waterproof, and breathable ski pant, which was ideal for...
Smith Vantage 2 MIPS Ski Helmet Review: Top Lid Gets Subtle Upgrades
  The cold wind gusts directly onto my face as I ride the Lenawee Mountain chairlift at Arapaho Basin. Feeling the bitter cold whip into the plentiful vents of the Smith Vantage 2 MIPS ski helmet reviewed here, I reach to the top of the lid and slide forward two small tabs. Instantly, the vents close, blocking the wind and warming...
Park-Ready All-Rounder: Armada ARV 100 All-Mountain Skis Review
  My first (and wrong) impression of the Armada ARV 100 all-mountain skis was: “Wow, these skis suck.” Turns out, I hadn’t figured out where and how to ski them. I made that mistake, so you dont have to.   Through trial and error, I discovered that the ARV 100 is a freestyle design with all-mountain capabilities. The ARV 100s excel for new...
