ULTRALIGHT – Tarp 4×3 / dark olive

Big and ultralight (680gm) rectangular tarp, made of micro-ripstop weaved silnylon 15D. It’s the best choice for those who like to travel light, yet appreciate spacious comfort by the end of the day, and of course for the fans of resting in the hammocks.

ULTRALIGHT – Tarp 4×3 / dark olive by BUSHMEN® Travel Gear is one of the absolutely lightest tarps on the market. It weighs only 680gm, which is around 30% less than most 3 × 3 tarps, and provides for 30% more of the surface!

It’s all about GRAMS  – we took care even for the welt to be ultralight. It weighs less than 0.5 gm, to be precise 0,4831gm! When packed our tarp takes no more space than a 0.7l bottle.

Being that light it’s the best choice of equipment for ultralight travelers, long-distance hikers, or ultimately space-limited cyclists or canoeists.

If you travel light, it’s the best choice for you.

Construction

Our ULTRALIGHT – Tarp 4×3 / dark olive is made of ultralight micro-ripstop weaved silnylon 15D.

Silicone coating ensures its water resistance up to 3500mm HH.
It has 19 attachment loops, 16 along the edges, and 3 across the tarp.

Black seam tape across the tarp is an additional reinforcement and protection against leaking. This tape is thermally sealed to the line of the seam, creating a permanent connection with the silicone layer.  This technology provides the waterproof feature of the seam line and its additional strength.

In addition, this product comes with 6 tensioning cords (3m each) and a carrying sack with a handle strap.

In contrary to Tarps 3×3, an additional 3m² of the Tarp 4×3 guarantees that 3m long hammock (and even bigger) will effortlessly fit under this roof.

It’s just simply COOL!

LOOPS

The loops in our tarps are designed to be easier in handling than classic ones. An extra allowance of the loop’s gap is not only making it easier to install the tarp in challenging conditions but also makes the tape of the loop form itself better while exposed to the tension. This inconspicuous change in the construction ensures as well a more even division of tension along the tarp’s edges.

Thanks to this solution, we didn’t have to apply additional edge reinforcement, hence we were able to reduce the total weight of the tarp, without compromising its resistance. Only the edges of the corner loops have additional support which makes the overall durability of our ULTRALIGHT Tarp even higher.

Tensioners

The set of this product includes 6 tensioning cords.
Thanks to those cords obtaining an accurate tensioning of the tarp’s surface are very easy and are adjusted by the loops of the tarp.

Simply attach the tensioner’s hook to a loop.

Loops and tensioners are matched to each other, when hooked, the tensioner is perfectly held and will not slip out. Thanks to this solution, the tensioners are used where they are really needed and do not create unnecessary tension.
To adjust accurate tension pull the cord by the tensioner.

Tensioning cords are a kind of fuse additionally.
They keep the safety of the use of the tarp. It is ensured by a suspension system built with tensioning cords.
They are designed to absorb any stresses arising during use. In the situation that the stresses or forces acting on the tarp are bigger than those provided by the manufacturer, the cord slips out of the hook.
This is the alarm signal and the intended way to protect the tarp from damage.
In this way, the plastic hooks on the ends of the tensioners act as fuses.

Slipping the end of the cord back into the hook is trivial.
Lift the flap on the top of the hook. Slide the end of the cord into the gap formed between the flap and the main part of the hook, and close the flap.
Don’t let the end of the tensioner slip off the hook. It means that the forces acting on the hook are too high and can cause damage. Slipping out of the hook that is not covered by the warranty.
To keep the warranty, all included tensioners must be used when pitching the tarp.

Transportation bag

The carrying bag is equipped with a handle strap and loops positioned along with the bag and at its round bottom.

The handle strap allows you comfortably to attach the sack to the backpack, without the risk of losing it during transportation.
It excellently helps with carrying it around or reaching it from the spots like the canoe’s bow, or from between other luggage.
Besides that, you can create a handy, suspended storage pocket by interlacing the ridgeline of your hammock through the loops of the sack.
After folding the tarp takes very little space and fits the 1l bag.
Dimensions are merely  23 x 8,5 x 8,5cm thus it will fit in the outer backpack’s pocket.

Application

Our tarp can be installed into plenty of settings thanks to its loop positioning.
Using the surrounding’s natural elements like trees or rocks or your hiking equipment like nordic walking sticks, ores, bicycles, or regular sticks, you can create a great tent appropriate to the particular place or weather.

ULTRALIGHT – Tarp 4×3 / dark olive provides excellent protection while camping with the hammock, for example, our hammock CAMO.
