The Integral Designs Siltarp2 is designed for those wanting an ultra-lightweight shelter. The Siltarp2 can be used as a tent awning, wind/rain shelter, or covered gear storage. At 14oz, the Siltarp2 is light enough to take on all trips. This minimalist tarp is an 8x10 ft rectangular made from waterproof nylon. The 30 denier parachute rip-stop nylon is impregnated with silicone for weather resistance. It is incredibly strong and resilient. The Siltarp2 has a seam down the center of the 8ft length, which provides extra strength but does require manual sealing with Silnet sealant (included). There is 1 lightweight nylon tie loop sewn to a reinforced center patch and 16 nylon webbing loops at 2 ft intervals along the edges. These loops facilitate a variety of set ups on trekking poles, off trees or onto tents.

Siltarp2

Rating:*****

I wanted a tarp that was lightweight. I found it. I wanted a tarp that was simple. I found it. I also wanted the best price. I certainly found that. Initially I wasn't too happy with gray being the only available color in stock, but putting it to use on a weeklong trip in Sequoia NP I found it nearly disappeared among the gray granite boulders. It was also easy to set up in any number of configurations.

Huddled under this tarp, in the rain, just north of Rocky Mountain National Park. Rained on us ALL day. Set this up near the fire and played poker and just hung out. Worked great. Extremely lightweight. It's very slick and that made getting it back into the tiny stuff sack interesting. It rolls up smaller than a Nalgene and weighs less than a full bottle. Perfect to cover the cooking and hanging out area at basecamp.

Great in the snow and rain

Rating:*****

This tarp was great for two people. We had plenty of space for our gear, enough room to make a snow bench and lounge and eat. I use this tarp in conjunctions with a tent, which is intentionally small and light. For 15oz., it is great for getting out of the snow.The tarp is very small, light and easy to deal with. I also appreciate the neutral, gray color.

Siltarp2 - 8X10

Rating:**

I like the service your website offers and my ranking should not reflect the service. I am disappointed in the Siltarp2 – 8x10 tarp itself. I was expecting a ridge seam of 10 foot long rather than an 8 foot ridge seam. Integral Designs’ decision in cutting the sections this way does reduce the amount of material needed to make the tarp, therefore reducing the cost to manufacture. However, it also reduces the efficiency of a tarp with the longer ridge seam. With other manufactures charging almost the same for their product with a 10 foot ridge seam, I would be hard pressed to recommend this product to others.
