SilTarp Plus Shelter
$209.95
Description

  An advanced shelter structure for those who don’t want to carry the extra weight of a tent. The Rab SilTarp Plus Shelter offers generous protection to a solo mountain traveller or ideal for small teams travelling fast and light.

  A flexible and lightweight alternative to a traditional tent. Versatile and durable, it can be easily stashed, pulled out, and setup up quickly, weighing in at just 510g (without guys and pegs) and packing down to 25cm x 16cm. It offers substantial shelter for you or your team on an overnight bivi, with a closed back wall and small porch section.

  The tarp is made from tough, siliconised 30D Cordura with a PU coating. Ultralight and waterproof, it’s incredibly strong with a taped, catenary ridge seam to keep the tarp taut, allowing rain to run off smoothly and preventing flapping in the wind. The eight guy points are reinforced for strength, and with four central lifter points there are a variety of setup options available. This tarp includes nine pegs and six guy lines.

Footprint sold separately.

Why Time Feels Slower During Your Hardest Workouts
  I’ve always been partial to Dunbar, the character in Catch-22 who seeks out boredom and discomfort in order to make time pass more slowly, thus effectively prolonging his life. It’s a sensation that’s familiar to any endurance athlete: the seconds agonizingly stretching as your effort mounts. Forget cardiovascular benefits and weight control; maybe the real life-extending power of exercise is...

  While satellite text messengers have become popular tools for backcountry communications, the trusty satellite phone still has a place in our expedition tool kits.

For abbreviated exchanges, a quick SMS message usually works perfectly. For...

For Nepali Guides on Mount Everest, Daily Life Is Full of Danger
  Every year, a vast ecosystem of Nepali mountain workers helps hundreds of climbers ascend and then descend Mount Everest.

Tune M1 Pop-Top Truck Camper Review: Winter Storm Tested
  The rain turned to snow just as I pulled into the campsite. It was already dusk, and the dark sky and heavy snowflakes instilled a sense of urgency as I backed into a parking space and turned off the pickup.

The Best Bike Shoes for Road, Gravel, and Trail Rides
  The contact points between the rider and a bicycle are some of the most important aspects of riding a two-wheeled steed (think saddle, grips, pedals, and, yes, shoes).
