Tarp Ultralight 2×3 m – Bushmen ULTRA Silnylon 20D Ripstop dark olive 280 g

Tarp Ultralight 2×3 m – Bushmen ULTRA Silnylon 20D Ripstop, Dyneema Reinforced, Dark Olive

Tarp ultralight Bushmen ULTRA 2×3 is a compact shelter system made from next-generation 20D silnylon ripstop fabric with a waterproof rating of 3000 mm H2O, designed for solo hikers, minimalists, and those who value every gram without compromising on durability. At just 280 g, it is one of the lightest tarps in its category, and when packed it occupies only 0.3 litres — less than a standard water bottle. Silnylon (silicone-impregnated nylon) combines a low base weight with high tensile strength and near-zero water absorption, meaning the fabric does not sag or gain weight when wet — a critical advantage during extended rain exposure. Dyneema ripstop reinforcements account for 9% of total fabric weight and significantly increase tear resistance at stress points across the canopy. The dark olive colour blends with the greenery of forests, thickets, and heathlands, making the shelter nearly invisible in natural surroundings — ideal for those who value discretion and the tranquillity of nature.

Features

• ➤ ULTRA lightweight: 280 g total — one of the lightest 2×3 m tarps on the market; 20D silnylon ripstop with Dyneema reinforcement (9% of total weight).
• ➤ ULTRA durable: 3000 mm H2O waterproof rating; center seam sealed with tape; resistant to heavy wind, rain, and sustained precipitation.
• ➤ ULTRA safe: Safety-release tensioning system — guy lines automatically detach under sudden overload, preventing fabric damage; reattachment is immediate with no tools required.
• ➤ ULTRA compact: Packed volume 0.3 L (24×8×8 cm); carry bag with handles allows external attachment to a backpack for quick access.
• ➤ ULTRA functional: 12 edge loops + 1 central loop; innovative tensioning system works without knots, even with gloves on; compatible with poles, paddles, bicycle frames, or trees.
• ➤ ULTRA discreet: Dark olive colour integrates with forest, thicket, and heathland environments; minimal visual signature in natural surroundings.
• ➤ Deployed dimensions: 2×3 m usable canopy area; functions as a classic tarp, protective canopy, or sunshade.

Along the forested ridgelines of the Beskid Śląski range in southern Poland, where dense spruce cover and variable weather demand a shelter that disappears into the landscape, the Bushmen ULTRA Tarp 2×3 in dark olive can be pitched between trees in minutes using the knot-free tensioning system. The 3000 mm H2O waterproof rating of the tape-sealed silnylon canopy handles sustained rainfall without saturation or weight gain, while the Dyneema-reinforced ripstop fabric resists tearing under the lateral tension of guy lines in gusting wind. The safety-release tensioners prevent anchor failure during sudden wind loading, allowing the shelter to be re-tensioned immediately without damage to the canopy.

Technical Specifications

Materials and Design

• Main canopy: 20D silnylon ripstop — next-generation silicone-impregnated nylon with low water absorption, high tear resistance, and minimal weight gain when wet.
• Reinforcement: Dyneema ripstop grid — ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibres woven into the fabric structure; accounts for 9% of total weight; increases tear resistance across the canopy surface.
• Seam construction: center seam tape-sealed — eliminates water ingress at the primary structural seam even in extreme conditions.
• Tensioning system: safety-release hooks — automatically detach from anchor under sudden overload; prevents fabric tearing; reattachment requires no tools.
• Carry bag: integrated handles for external backpack attachment; keeps the tarp accessible without occupying internal pack volume.
• Set includes: ULTRA Tarp 2×3 canopy, 6 guy lines with tensioners, transport bag (24×8×8 cm).
