Six Moon Designs Owyhee Backpacking Tarp

The Six Moon Designs Owyhee is a floorless tarp shelter for two people — no integrated floor, no inner mesh tent, just a roof made of 20D silnylon rated at 3,000 mm hydrostatic head. Without a floor or pole structure to carry, it weighs just 689 g for two (345 g per person), well below the catalog's double-wall trekking-pole tents and among the lightest 2-person options around. The 4.9 m² footprint with two vestibules and two doors is unusually generous relative to its weight — its area-to-weight ratio ranks among the best in the category. At 114 cm peak height there's decent room to sit up in the middle. It pitches on trekking poles and is fully non-freestanding, so it needs firm anchoring with six stakes and taut guy lines. The lack of a floor and mesh means the Owyhee provides no built-in protection against insects or ground moisture on its own — for full coverage you'd pair it with a bivy or a separate groundsheet. Seams need to be sealed by the user before first use.
