Tarptent Scarp 1

The Tarptent Scarp 1 is a semi-freestanding, double-wall single-person tent rated for 4-season and winter/expedition use, built around a single Easton aluminium arch pole with full mesh inner and a fly-first pitch. At 1376 g packaged (1186 g minimum trail weight), it's heavier than typical ultralight single-wall shelters, but the double-wall construction, geodesic shape, and reflective guylines are aimed at users who need genuine stability in wind and snow rather than pure weight savings. Both the 30D silnylon fly and floor carry a 5000 mm water column, backed by double ripstop fabric technology and a YKK #5 Aquaguard zipper — hardware choices that point toward durability under repeated harsh-weather use rather than casual 3-season trips. Two doors and two vestibules are generous for a solo tent, and a footprint is available separately for floor protection. This is a shelter for solo mountaineers and expedition-style thru-hikers who prioritize storm-worthiness and packed size (46 × 13 cm) over shaving the last grams, and who value the redundancy of a semi-freestanding pitch over a purely trekking-pole setup.
