Gossamer Gear Twinn Tarp

Product detailed description

The Gossamer Gear Twinn Tarp is another in a line of absolutely perfect products from this legendary American brand. For nearly 10 years, we have been offering excellent Gossamer Gear backpacks  with which we have completed most of our long-distance treks and are now expanding our selection to include this company’s excellent shelters. As soon as you unpack the tarp, you’ll immediately see that there’s nothing to complain about. The base material is extremely lightweight yet durable and sturdy siliconized 10D Nylon, which features a PU coating on the inside with a minimum water column of 1800 mm. The total weight of the tarp is an amazing 275 grams!

Ready for action

The main seam of the shelter is factory-taped, so you don’t have to worry about a thing and can head out into the field right away. The corners of the tarp, where the greatest stress occurs, are carefully reinforced, and most importantly, there are guy lines including line-locks, thanks to which the tarp can be set up really quickly and easily. Gossamer Gear didn’t forget to place these guy lines in the middle of the tarp as well.

If you want to set up the tarp as a classic A-frame, there are two reinforced loops with eyelets at both ends of the shelter. These also feature reflective guy lines with line -locks. We definitely recommend using two trekking poles for setup, which allow you to better adjust the height of the tarp, but of course you can also use collapsible poles or tie the tarp above you using trees, for example. We recommend an optimal trekking pole length of approximately 115 cm at the front and approximately 82 cm at the rear.

Extra-large dimensions, low weight

Even though this is one of the lightest 2-person tarps on the market, it doesn’t skimp on size. Quite the opposite. The ridge length is a fantastic 310 cm, and the wall length at the ground is 272 cm. At the front, the tarp has a great width of 294 cm and 213 cm at the foot end. These dimensions provide more than enough space for two people, even with luggage. The total weight of the shelter, including guy lines, is an incredible 275 grams (with the bag – an additional 6 grams). When packed, the tarp measures a mere 21 x 12 cm, so you won’t even notice it in your backpack. We can definitely recommend this tarp for multi-day treks in milder conditions.

We also offer a version for 1 person or a single-wall tent for 1 person, The One, or for 2 people, The Two.
