Rab Siltarp

No, the Siltarp is a minimalist shelter system and does not include poles or stakes. You will need to use trekking poles, nearby trees, or natural features to pitch it.

The 8 ft x 10 ft dimensions are designed to accommodate two people comfortably. It provides enough coverage for two sleepers and their essential gear, provided you pitch it correctly.

Yes, the material features a 2000mm water resistance rating, which is highly effective at shedding rain and providing reliable shelter in wet conditions. Because it is a tarp, however, you should be mindful of wind direction and pitch it low to the ground during storms to minimize splash-back.

With 13 reinforced attachment points, the Siltarp is exceptionally versatile. You can configure it as a simple A-frame, a lean-to, or more complex shapes depending on the terrain and weather conditions.

It is a great option if you are comfortable with an open-air sleeping style, but keep in mind that tarps lack the built-in bug netting and floor protection of a traditional tent. You may want to pair it with a bivy sack or a ground sheet if you are camping in areas with high insect activity or wet ground.
