Lightweight Tarp Shelter • 1–3 Person Capacity • Compact & Versatile Outdoor Protection

Travel fast and light with the Rab SilTarp Plus Shelter, a versatile ultralight tarp designed as a minimalist alternative to a traditional tent. Built for backpacking, bikepacking, and alpine adventures, this durable shelter provides reliable weather protection while keeping your pack weight to a minimum.

🏕️ Lightweight Shelter for Fast & Light Adventures

Weighing just ~510g (tarp only) and packing down to a compact size, the SilTarp Plus is ideal for adventurers who need dependable protection without the bulk of a tent.

  • Ultralight design for backpacking and alpine travel
  • Packs down to approx. 25cm × 16cm
  • Ideal for solo use or small groups (1–3 people)

Perfect for fast-moving trips where weight and packability are critical.

🌧️ Durable Waterproof Protection

Constructed from 30D Cordura® siliconized ripstop nylon with a PU coating, this tarp offers reliable protection from rain and wind.

  • 2000mm waterproof rating
  • Taped seams for weather resistance
  • Reinforced corners and stress points for durability

The catenary ridge seam keeps the tarp taut, allowing rain to shed efficiently and reducing flapping in windy conditions.

🛠️ Versatile Setup Options

The SilTarp Plus is designed for flexibility, allowing multiple pitching configurations depending on terrain and weather:

  • 8 external guy points for secure anchoring
  • 4 central lifter points for ridgeline or trekking pole setups
  • Compatible with trekking poles or suspension setups (poles not included)

This adaptability makes it suitable for everything from emergency shelter to overnight camps.

🏞️ Enhanced Protection with Smart Design

Unlike basic tarps, the SilTarp Plus features a 3D shape with a closed back wall and small porch area, offering better coverage and livability.

  • Closed back wall blocks wind and rain
  • Small front porch for gear storage or entry space
  • Stable structure for improved comfort
