Description

The 1-Person Cirriform embodies over a decade of refinement and optimization. Built for serious adventurers, this shaped tarp offers excellent wind shedding and protection in tough conditions. Whether you're backpacking for a few nights, thru-hiking, or going for that FKT, you'll appreciate the Cirriform's reliability and compact size.

Dual Entry

The Cirriform uniquely offers entry from the front or the side. Changing the entry is as easy as moving a clip from one side of the zipper to the other. The side-entry makes getting in and out of your shelter a breeze, while the front-entry is best used when it's raining to avoid exposing the sleeping area to precipitation. On clear nights, we love leaving the side tied back for views of the stars.

Pair it with an inner

Pair the Cirriform with a bivy or net-tent to create a lightweight, double-wall shelter. Of course, we're partial to our Y-zip Bug Bivy, and 1P Bug Shelter, but many of your other favorite brand's inners will work too!

Compatible with: Bug Bivy, 1P Bug Shelter, Bug Canopy

Hang loops

Hang loops for suspending inners are located under each apex, near the center of the ridge, and about 12" in from the foot end on the ridge. Additional hang loops are installed on the seams between the tarp body and beaks, about 9" up from the corners. When the Cirriform is pitched very low, these hang loops help keep the floating tub floors of our inner net-tents and bivys suspended; run the line from the tub's corners through the loop before clipping to the tarp.

Trekking pole supported

Designed to use your trekking poles for support, the Cirriform accomodates front poles from about 94cm to 112cm, though some longer poles can work too (see pitching instructions). Poles collapsed to 66 - 84cm is the best for the foot end, but again, longer poles can be made to work.

Optional pole sets are available here for those who prefer to travel without trekking poles.

Recycled Silpoly

The Cirriform is made from recycled polyester fabric with a silicone based coating on both sides. Compared to nylon, "Silpoly" retains less water and won't sag when the temperature drops, helping to retain a taut pitch through the night.

Seam Sealing
Due to the silicone coating, the seams cannot be taped and need to manually be sealed with seam sealer. You can do this yourself or use our sealing service. Sealer is available here, and more information is available on our seam sealing page.
