Backpacking Light Stealth 1 NANO (7x9) Catenary Ridgeline Ultralight Backpacking Tarp

"Lighter for 2008: Ultralight backpacking tarp: catenary ridgeline, waterproof, 3.9 oz!.."

Changes for 2008

The 2008 Nano Tarps now feature the lightest possible fabric that we dared put into a tarp design. You must seal the ridgeline and guyline tie-out reinforcement seams with Seam Grip or Sil Net if you want to maximize the strength of this tarp under tension and in wind. You must take care to avoid puncturing the fabric of this tarp. If this makes you nervous, then do not purchase this item because it is not covered under warranty.

But Holy Cow, is it light!

Overview

Welcome to the next generation of ultralight: Stealth Nano.

Using an all-new fabric technology with significant advantages over woven nylon and polyester spinnaker fabrics, Stealth NanoTarps are manufactured with a fiber-reinforced mylar film that is durable, strong, completely waterproof, and 40% lighter than conventional spinnaker fabrics.

    About NanoTarps

    Stealth NANO Tarps were developed with one purpose in mind: the absolute lightest possible tarps.

    Stealth NANO Tarps are manufactured with the lightest available waterproof fabric, a fiber-reinforced mylar cloth. This fabric is 40% lighter than conventional spinnaker sailcloth fabrics, with little loss in strength, and increased waterproofness. However, this fabric is still "ultralight" and requires care, especially from punctures and tears caused by sharp objects.

    Warranty

    We do not warranty this tarp against fabric failure. We will warranty against manufacturing defects, including seam ripping, if the ripping was caused by a weakness in seam construction or thread, but not if the ripping was due to fabric failure. Ripping due to fabric failure indicated that the tarp was being used in a manner that exceeded its intended limits. Please review the "durability" section above.
