Weighing in at approximately half a kilogram and about one-third of the pack downsize of the standard with perfect coverage for regular sized hammocks, the SuperLight Tarp is your ultra-portable shield against the elements. Make it your day trip staple or your backpacking essential, at a fraction of the weight of a regular tarp.
All the cover you need, ready to take anywhere.
With the DD Superlight Tarp's 19 reinforced attachment points allow for a variety of setup options, from a hammock cover to an open or closed ground shelter. Ideal for lightweight backpacking or adventure sports like cycling, climbing, or trail running, the DD SuperLight Tarp will keep you dry on rest stops while keeping your pack weight to an absolute minimum.
This tarp is also great for those who don't want to venture too far. Use the DD Superlight Tarp in the garden or on the beach, or simply throw in your backpack if you do feel like camping or even a day outdoors with the family.
