Stone Glacier SkyTarp 10

The SkyTarp 10 adds a highly versatile tool to your kit for ultralight protection from snow, rain, wind, and sun. Weighing a mere 13.5 ounces (tarp and 6 guy lines), the SkyTarp 10 disappears in your pack but punches above its weight as a waterproof and windproof shelter when you need it. It can be supported by trekking poles, tree branches, or any elevated tie-off you can find and features ten stakeout points that enable a myriad of configurations, including a primary A-frame configuration, lean-to and modified A-frame setups, or endlessly adaptable setups depending on your needs. It can also be run as a standalone shelter for camping in mild, bug-free conditions; as an awning off of tents or trees to create more livable space at camp; as a glassing shelter; or as an emergency shelter. From sun-soaked flats to windswept alpine vantages, the SkyTarp 10 is an essential utility piece that can keep you in the game without bogging down your pack.

Expert Insights

The SkyTarp 10 is a high-quality tarp that will serve for many adventures in the backcountry. We recommend considering the dimensions of a given tarp with your expected use applications to ensure (1) you have enough material to permit adequate pitching and setup, and (2) you don't end up carrying more weight than is necessary.

Tarps are only as useful as their owner is skillful, so we recommend practicing in advance of any backcountry trip to come.
