The most basic shelter solution: lightweight, simple, and remarkably adaptable.
A tarp provides essential weather protection but still allows you to feel fully “outdoors.” Indeed, there are those who prefer tarp camping, in all weather conditions, precisely because of that feeling. And how much of that “feeling” you indulge in is up to you, since our tarp’s “shape” is limited only by imagination and pitching materials. Combine a tarp with our Bivanorak (see picture on pg. 58), and you get remarkable weather protection at an incredibly low weight.
A tarp can also add a new dimension to tent camping: Pitch a tarp over the tent’s entrance, and you have a breezy patio, or build a tarp kitchen away from your campsite for greater safety in bear country.
Hilleberg tarps come in two sizes, Tarp 10 and 20, designed for solo or two person, and group use, respectively. Each is available in both a super light UL and a heavy duty XP version. The former is made from our Kerlon 1200, and the latter from Kerlon SP. Both are tremendously strong yet lightweight, silicone-coated fabrics, but where the Kerlon 1200 is nylon, the SP is polyester.
On all models, the attachment rings have long guy lines with line runners on them. In addition, the stuff bag is cleverly integrated into the Tarp itself, both saving weight and allowing quicker deployment and repacking.

TARP 5
Available from january 2016
Created with the minimalist solo backpacker in mind, the new Hilleberg Tarp 5 is versatile, packs to an impressively small size, and weighs just 320 g/11.3 oz.
“While we are known as ‘tent makers,’ we have also long been making – and using – tarps,” says Bo Hilleberg. “With the Tarp 5, we wanted to create something for one person – something that was very light, but had the strength and reliability that Hilleberg is known for.”
The Tarp 5 – so called because it is five square meters of fabric – is shaped specifically to cover a single person while also providing enough room for gear, and its design makes it easy to get into and out of. The Tarp 5 can be pitched using trekking poles, or by suspending either end of its ridge line. It is made from Hilleberg’s Kerlon 1000, one of the company’s dedicated 3-season tent fabric, which offers a stout 8 kg/17.6 lb tear strength. Adding to the Tarp 5’s toughness are the attached guy lines, made from Hilleberg’s proprietary 2 mm Vectran and polyester cord, which boasts an impressive 60 kg/132 lb breaking strength. All lines are equipped with line runners, making one-handed tensioning quick and easy. The Tarp 5 also stuffs into its own cleverly integrated pocket, and packed, it’s about the size of a one liter cooking pot.
“The Tarp 5 is a great option for someone who wants to go as light as possible, but still wants highly reliable protection from rain,” says Bo Hilleberg. “The shape of the Tarp 5 really allows the user to set the level of protection: pitch it fairly high off the ground, and you get the full, airy, tarp experience. Pitch it with its edges nearly on the ground, and the weather protection is impressive.”
