Borah Gear Solo Tarp

The Borah Gear Solo Tarp is a flat solo tarp made from 20D Xenon ripstop silpoly with factory-taped seams, designed to pitch as a classic A-frame using one or two trekking poles. At 4.93 m² with 8 tie-out points it gives enough room for one sleeper plus some gear storage, while the 219.6 g weight puts it among the lighter options in the tarp category. Poles and guylines are sold separately, so budget for your own trekking poles and cordage. A floorless, netless tarp is the most versatile shelter format but also the least protected — it rewards experience in campsite selection and weather reading, since the open sides cannot seal as tightly as a tent. For ultralight hikers willing to trade full weather and bug protection for minimal shelter weight, this is a solid foundation, often paired with a separate bivy or bug net for shoulder-season trips. The gray and olive colorways keep a low profile in the backcountry.
