Reviews & Ratings for Rab Siltarp 3 — 2 reviews — Page 1

Great, durable lightweight tarp. love having the extra tie-out along the ridgeline in the center which helps take the stress off the ridge line tie-outs.

I have the Siltarp 2 for backpacking for a 2 person shelter. It's light, compact and is capable of covering a large area as a meeting place. It provides shade during sunny times and is a waterproof shelter for storms.

The Siltarp 3 is the big brother of tarps. It's capable of shading a picnic table and lives in my vehicle as an emergency shelter for occasional rainstorms. Six tent stakes and a hank of paracord are the best options for guying it out. Just make sure to try out a few configurations before you head out. This isn't your "take it out and set it up by following instructions" shelter. The Siltarp 3 is able to shelter 3 people in a rain proof shelter and weighs in at less than 2 pounds with the required accessories to make it functional.

It's well worth the investment. Don't settle for some box store blue tarp. Get one of these and stuff it in a tiny spot. You'll be thankful you have it when it's hot and sunny or cold and raining.
