Your Shelter, Your Way—Lightweight Protection for Any Adventure

When the weather turns or you need reliable shelter in the backcountry, the Pathfinder Nylon Tarp delivers versatile, waterproof protection that adapts to any situation. Whether you're setting up an A-frame shelter, protecting your hammock camp, or creating a base camp kitchen, this tarp gives you the flexibility to build exactly the shelter you need with minimal weight and maximum coverage.

Why This Tarp is Essential Gear:

• Generous Coverage: At 7'8" × 7'8", this tarp provides ample space to shelter you AND all your gear. No more choosing between staying dry and protecting your pack—there's room for everything under one roof.
• 19 Tie-Out Points: The abundance of tie-outs gives you unlimited configuration options. Build an A-frame, lean-to, diamond fly, or any custom shelter design. Adjust tension points for maximum weather protection or create vestibules for gear storage.
• True Waterproof Protection: Made from 70D waterproof nylon, this tarp doesn't just resist water—it stops it completely. Stay dry through downpours, collect rainwater for drinking, or create a dry workspace in wet conditions.
• Ultralight & Packable: At just 1lb 7oz, this tarp delivers serious weather protection without the weight penalty. It packs down small enough to fit in your pack without taking up valuable space or adding bulk.
• Complete Setup System: Includes 4 metal stakes and 6 guylines, so you have everything you need to set up shelter right out of the bag. No scrambling to find cordage or improvising stakes in the field.
