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.

Our Favorite New Off-Road Gear from Overland Expo West 2024
  Outside has been covering Overland Expo West for the past nine years. We’ve watched as the show went from a small gathering of hardcore overland veterans to a place where thousands of people, including many who are new to this type of travel (loosely defined as backpacking out of an off-road vehicle), come to check out the latest rigs and...
Climbers Weigh In on Nims Purja Following Sexual Abuse Allegations
  Leading figures in the worlds of international mountaineering and Nepali politics are weighing in on celebrity climber Nirmal “Nims” Purja in the wake of bombshell allegations of sexual assault and harassment.   On May 31, the New York Times published the accounts of two women who allege that Purja, 40, sexually harassed and assaulted them on separate occasions. In one account, Finnish...
‘Opt Outside’ Hits Summer: REI Unveils Massive Day of Free Workshops and Adventures
  It has been almost 10 years since the REI Co-op first announced that it would close all of its stores on Thanksgiving and Black Friday for its Opt Outside campaign. The brand said it wanted to encourage customers and employees to spend more time in nature doing what they love.   In the years since, millions of people have participated, many...
YETI Flask, Shot Glasses Are a Toast to the Brand’s Core
  When YETI reached out a week ago to pitch its newest product, I took a moment to consider that it didnt already exist. YETI didnt already have a flask? Really?   Well, now it does, and its everything that makes YETI an icon.   Heavy-duty? Yep. Functional? Absolutely. And yes, its a little more expensive than similar-quality products. But as its not...
Wicked Edge Generation 4 Pro Sharpener Review: Stupid Sharp, Simple, and Steeply Priced
  A universal oddity of any hobby: justifying the gear prices to those on the outside. Mountain bikers get to explain why their dream downhill bike costs more than a motorcycle. Ultralighters get to explain to casual hikers why a pack that taps out at 15 pounds costs several hundred dollars. For knife aficionados, there’s justifying a sharpener that starts at...
Why You (Yes, You) Were Born to Run
  The theory that human endurance evolved out of our need to outrun our prey has intrigued runners for four decades. After all, the idea of “persistence hunting” presents a much more romantic explanation for our otherwise pathological obsession with slogging through the Trial of Miles. According to the original endurance hunting theory laid out in a 1984 paper by David...
Get One While You Can: Mystery Ranch x SITKA Studio Ryder Bow Case
  Few things go together quite so well as Mystery Ranch and SITKA. It only makes sense that the two Bozeman brands would team up, yet again, for the release of a much-needed upgrade to soft bow cases.   Ive had a few soft bow cases, and Ive never been impressed with any of them. Theyre oversized, offer odd, inconvenient storage, and...
How the Perils of ‘Alone: Frozen’ Prepared Woniya Thibeault for Motherhood
  Woniya Thibeault, the first female winner of the History Channel’s reality competition show Alone, always wanted to be a mother. But after she turned 46, having already experienced a miscarriage in her late thirties, she accepted the possibility that she may never have children. In June of last year, Thibeault spoke about this difficult realization during a storytelling event hosted by storytelling...
I Abandoned My Favorite Headphones for These Hi-Fi Workout Buds: Jabra Elite 8 Active Review
  While some folks are content listening to whatever the gym is playing during their workouts, I just cant do it — unless somebody is playing Wu-Tang. Ive got to be able to change it up to suit the moment — heavy lifting calls for heavy metal. On cardio days, I like to match the BPM of the music to my...
Microplastics are Everywhere—Even in Your Testicles
  A recent study about microplastics may make you squirm in your seat. Scientists tested 70 testicles (23 from humans and 47 from dogs) and found the tiny bits of plastic in every single sample. The study, published on May 15, 2024 in Toxicological Sciences, raises concerns about the potential impact of microplastics on the human reproductive system and suggests that the presence...
What Do Dads Want for Father’s Day? We Asked Our Gearheads with Kids.
  Dads are notoriously hard to buy gifts for. They’re usually not great about communicating what they want, and anything they want they just buy for themselves when the urge strikes. To help those scratching their heads about what to get dad for Father’s Day, we badgered the dads on the Outside staff to tell us what’s on their wish list,...
Our Favorite Small-Wave, Alternative, and High-Performance Surfboards
  If a surfboard is a paintbrush and a wave is a canvas, then surfers today have thousands of different tools to make art. Are you a traditionalist, like the Old Masters? Take out a classic longboard. Are you more keen on surrealist style, channeling your inner Salvador Dali? Go for an asymmetrical shape. What about contemporary, akin to Yayoi Kusama?...
