KEY POINTS & INTENDED USE

Long a favourite of the ultralight crowd, the Scout Tarp will be more popular

than ever now that it's made of amazingly light and compact silicone-coated

nylon. Serves as a sleeping shelter or dining room roof for two people.

CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN

Long a favourite of MEC members, this versatile rectangular tarp has been

reincarnated in an extraordinary nylon fabric, silicone-coated on both sides.

Not only is the fabric awesomely light and compact, it has incredible

tear-resistance. Ordinary polyurethane waterproof coating locks up the strands

of a fabric, so that when it is stressed, all the load is borne by a few

threads. This can lead to domino-like progressive tearing. In silicon-coated

fabric the strands remain free to slide past one another, so that when it is

pulled, they rearrange themselves to share the load across a wide area.

The removable stuff sack can be placed on a staff, paddle, or ski pole for use

as an internal support. Or the tarp can be suspended from the corresponding

outside loop.see more

Both options allow you to rig the tarp pyramid-style. Thanks to the

thoughtfully placed grommets and corner webbing loops, your cunning and

imagination are the only limits to additional set-up options. Possible

configurations include the A-frame, or hung corner-to-corner to make a diagonal

ridgeline.
