Swift Ultralight Tarp
Best ultralight shelter for minimalist backpackers and thru hikers.
This is the ultimate shelter for gram-counters who refuse to compromise on weather protection. By stripping away the complexity of a traditional tent, you gain a versatile, adaptable roof that forces you to master your pitch, but rewards you with a pack weight that barely registers on the trail.
