Tarpstar 1

When the British Polar Expedition arrived at the South Pole in 1911 it was Amundsen’s pyramid tent that they found. It’s endured because a pyramid shape is one of the most bombproof designs in horizontal wind and rain.

Tarpstar 1 is an ultralight, 1-person pyramid tarp tent that pitches using trekking poles. This is our modern take on a tent shape that’s been proven for over 100 years.

Tarpstar 1 packs small and light and crams into any corner of your pack. It pitches quickly with our Vertex Tarp Pole (not included) or with a trekking pole. With plenty of space in the porch area for lots of kit on longer trips.

Pitch in different ways: go ultralight with just the 500g outer, or add the optional footprint for ultimate protection.
