Discover versatile shelter that won’t weigh down your pack or your budget with the Exped Tarp Versa—the smart evolution of the beloved Outfitter Tarp. Perfect for backpackers seeking a reliable ultralight tarp shelter, it balances affordability with rugged performance you can trust on any trail.
Crafted from durable 75D polyester taffeta (PU-coated, factory seam-taped, DWR C6 finish), this backpacking tarp handles wind and rain while doubling as a groundsheet—maximizing value without compromise. Reinforced central pole support enables stable freestanding tarp setups, and 18 thoughtfully placed guyout loops (16 reinforced + 2 overhead) unlock endless configurations for solo adventures or cozy 2–3 person shelters.
Pre-attached adjustable guylines on all corners mean quick pitching in changing weather—no fumbling with knots when storms roll in! Weighing just 40.6 oz and packing down to 13.4 x 6.3 inches, it’s ideal for thru-hikers prioritizing minimal weight without sacrificing coverage (137.8 x 137.8 in).
Why struggle with flimsy tarps? The Tarp Versa delivers flame-retardant-free reliability for everything from minimalist bivy trips to group basecamp setups—all tucked neatly into its included stuff sack. Ready to simplify your shelter system? Your most adaptable adventure awaits.
