This Cirriform has a slight flaw in the fabric. The flaw is located within one of the body panels of the tarp, but is not expected to cause any issue. This is the longer version of the tarp. 10% off

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 is the "Min" version of the Cirriform. Compared to the standard version, the Min features a more traditional, single pointed beak at the front. While this reduces vestibule space, it provides easier setup and more range in width while also requiring one fewer stake.

The Cirriform's zipper placement allows entry from the front (standard), as well as from the side (in fair weather). Both entries styles work well with our Bug Bivy (y-zip option is best), Wind Bivy, and 1P Bug Shelter. In rainy weather, please use only the front entry to prevent water from running into the sleeping area when you open the door.

Tapered shape uses space efficiently.
Catenary curvatures for a taut, wind-shedding pitch.
Side-entry option for use in fair weather.
Front beak/door rolls completely out of the way.
Rear beak provides protection at the foot.
Durable, size #5 waterproof zipper.
Magnetic door ties.
Reflective tie-outs.
Made with recycled fabric.
Lineloc tensioners at tie-outs for easy pitch adjustment (removable).
UHMWPE Core guyline with reflective tracer included.

This tarp is made from recycled SilPoly. SilPoly doesn't sag when it gets wet (when temps drop) and won't retain water like SilNylon. See more of the pros and cons of SilPoly on our Materials Page.

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 and our longer inners. 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).

Proudly made in the USA from imported fabric.

Please note that some photos may show additional items that are not included. This product listing is for the tarp and items listed in the specifications only.

Min vs Std

You are viewing the 'Min' version of the Cirriform. See the Standard version here.

Differences from standard version

No upper zipper pull & prop
Single pointed front beak (standard splays out to two points)
Shorter guylines
Lacks underside hangloops at the corners (these have been added back)
(These loops are located several inches up the seams from the four main corners. They provide additional options for suspending items like bivy floors, especially when the tarp is pitched low.)

Key advantages of Min. version

Slightly lower weight
Easier pitch
Requires fewer stakes
Greater flexibility in pitch widths
(the simpler beaks allows for more flexibility in how wide or narrow you can pitch the tarp)

Advantages of the Standard version

Larger and more usable vestibule space
More venting options with the upper zip pull & prop

DW Option

For those wanting to pair this tarp with our 1P Bug Shelter, please select the "Make this a DW!" option above. When you select this option, we will reserve a spot for you in our upcoming production of 1P Bug Shelters. Anticipated shipment is mid-February to early March. Your entire order will be held until everything is ready to ship, and you won't be billed for the Bug Shelter until closer to shipment.

Please note that, as a DW system, what you receive will be a little different from purchasing both items independently. Additionally, the price will be a little bit higher due to the increased labor. Please see below for a breakdown. Please also note that the weight of the Bug Shelter may vary from that currently shown. Weight fluctuations between rolls of fabric is common, and we usually update the specs to reflect the average product weight after the production run is completed. While the weight should be pretty close, the weight currently shown reflects the prior production.

The 1P Bug Shelter in silpoly (DCF not available) with rigging installed will be: $170.00
- The Bug Shelter will come with the shockcord connections installed.
- The guylines for the Cirriform's apexes will be attached with Fastline Clips. This allows you to quickly and easily move the lines from the tarp to the Bug Shelter if you want to pitch the Bug Shelter independently.
Length of the Bug Shelter will be matched with the length of the Cirriform (ie, if you choose the long Cirriform, you'll get the long Bug Shelter)
If you choose seam sealing for your Cirriform, an additional $5.00 will be added for sealing of the tub:
You may cancel all or part your order before shipment, but note that there is a 3% fee for any portion of the order that has already been charged (will be deducted from your refund).
Sorry, but we're not taking other requests for customization at this time.
