Rab SilTarp Plus Shelter emergency tarp shelter

The SilTarp Plus Shelter by Rab is an advanced technical shelter that offers a flexible and lightweight alternative to a traditional tent, perfect for those aiming to move quickly and lightly in the mountains without sacrificing protection. Characterized by a three-dimensional shape of 2.6 m x 2.4 m with a closed back wall and a small porch section, this tarp can accommodate 1 to 3 people depending on the chosen configuration. The structure is made of durable 30D siliconized Cordura nylon with a PU coating (55g/m²) and features waterproof taped seams with a water column of 2000 mm. A key technical detail is the catenary ridge seam, which keeps the tarp perfectly taut to promote rain runoff and prevent flapping in the wind. Weighing only 510 grams for the tarp itself and with a packed size of 25 cm x 16 cm, the SilTarp Plus Shelter is extremely easy to stow and quick to set up thanks to the 8 reinforced external anchor points and the 4 central points designed for use with trekking or ski poles. Durability is ensured by 300D Cordura reinforcements at critical points and double stitching on all straps, ensuring longevity even under intense use conditions. Supplied with 9 pegs, 6 lightweight guy lines, and a practical carry bag, it represents the ideal solution for teams or solo travelers looking for a versatile, spacious, and highly protective shelter for their high-altitude bivouacs.
