Our Verdict

Light, durable, and versatile, Rabs line of siltarps are an institution in the outdoors world and the new version, are lighter and more durable than before.  With 16 reinforced attachment points, and a centre lifter point, for ridgeline support or for use with a trekking pole to add stability, the number of configurations you can assemble this tarp is almost limitless.   Brilliant for duo trips, but its so small and light this could be stashed in any pack and could be used as an emergency shelter, or used in conjuncture with a tent to give a huge living area.
