The Tarp

For your minimal trips, the wind-shedding Cirriform provides a solid tarp in a small package. Pair it with a bivy or net-tent to create a lightweight, double-wall tent.

This versatile tarp allows entry from either the front or the side. In rainy weather, however, please use only the front entry to prevent water from running into the sleeping area when you open the door. This tarp pairs perfectly with our Bug Bivy and 1P Bug Shelter.

Tapered shape uses space efficiently.
Curvatures promote a taut, wind-shedding pitch.
Zippered front beak/door rolls completely out of the way.
Rear beak provides protection at the foot.
Durable, #5 waterproof zipper
Hang loops located along the ridge at the ends, center, and about 12" in from the foot.
Lineloc tensioners at tie-outs for easy pitch adjustment (removable).
UHMWPE Core guyline with reflective tracer included.

Do I really need the longer length?

For the majority of people, we recommend the regular length option. The longer option adds 6" (~15cm) of length at the foot end of the tarp to better accommodate taller hikers. Please note that it will do nothing to increase headroom, and wind stability will be negatively impacted by a small amount. We usually only recommend the longer option for individuals over 6'-4", maybe 6'-3". When making a decision, please remember to factor in the loft of your sleeping bag/quilt and the length of the inner that you're using (eg. if you're using our reg. length bivy or Bug Shelter, there's no advantage gained with the longer Cirriform).

Notes:

We have discontinued the use of magnetic door ties on the Cirriform.
There were some instances of the magnets picking up ferrous materials from the ground and causing premature wear on the fabric.
Some photos may show additional items that are not included. This product listing is for the tarp and items listed in the specifications only.

Note 2: The average weight for the longer Cirriforms is coming in about 0.2 oz LESS than the average weight for the regular length. We have not identified a reason for this. Our best guess is that it's due to fluctuations that sometimes happen between the different rolls of material/DCF.
