Sea to Summit Escapist Evo Tarp

The Sea to Summit Escapist Evo Tarp is an ultralight shelter pitched with trekking poles rather than dedicated tent poles, so it saves the weight of a separate pole set on trips where you're already carrying poles to walk with. A catenary cut - the fabric edges curve rather than run dead straight - lets it pitch drum-tight in wind instead of flapping and sagging like a flat-cut tarp. Guy lines with adjustable tensioners come included, so you're not sourcing your own cordage or line-locks, and the stuff sack doubles as a pocket for the poles, keeping the pack list down to fewer separate items. As a tarp rather than a fully enclosed tent, it has no floor and no integrated bug protection, so it suits hikers comfortable with an open shelter and willing to pair it with a separate groundsheet or bug net - Sea to Summit's own Escapist Mesh Bug Shelter is designed to hang underneath it for that reason.
