Description

Why We Love the Thru-Hiker Tarp:

Our team of minimalist backpackers and ultralight enthusiasts is absolutely smitten with the MSR Thru-Hiker Tarp. It's no wonder why - this tarp boasts a simple and lightweight design that ticks all the right boxes.

With two size options available, the Thru-Hiker is adaptable to your needs. The smaller 70 Wing option comfortably accommodates two to three people, while the larger 100 Wing option offers space for three people to sleep soundly.

Although this tarp is non-freestanding, don't let that deter you. You can set it up effortlessly with trekking poles, accessory poles (available separately), or simply between trees. Regardless of your chosen method, you can rest assured that you'll be snug as a bug in no time.

Even if Mother Nature decides to test your mettle with unpleasant weather, the Thru-Hiker Tarp has got you covered. Crafted from lightweight 20D ripstop nylon, this tarp has been treated with an Xtreme coating, effectively repelling water and keeping you dry in times of inclement weather.
