Escapist Tarp

15D Ultra-Sil Nano nylon is an ultra-lightweight and durable fabric specifically designed for outdoor gear. The "15D" indicates its low denier, meaning it's thinner and lighter, making it easy to pack and carry. This fabric is perfect for items like tarps and tents, as it provides strength without adding unnecessary weight to your gear.

PU coating, or polyurethane coating, is applied to fabrics to make them waterproof. With a hydrostatic head measurement of 1200mm, this coating ensures that the tarp can withstand significant rain without leaking. This means you can stay dry and comfortable even in wet conditions, making it an essential feature for any outdoor adventure.

Fully taped seams involve sealing the stitched areas of the tarp with waterproof tape. This process prevents water from seeping through the seams, which is a common weak point in fabric. By ensuring that all seams are properly sealed, the tarp maintains its waterproof integrity, providing you with reliable protection from the elements.

Hypalon guy-out points are reinforced attachment points made from a durable synthetic rubber. These points allow you to secure guy lines (ropes) to stabilize the tarp in various weather conditions. The durability of Hypalon ensures that these points can withstand tension and harsh weather, giving you flexibility in how you set up your tarp.

Reflective guylines are designed with reflective material woven into them, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. This feature helps prevent tripping over the lines during nighttime or rainy weather, making it easier to navigate your campsite. It also allows you to quickly locate your tarp in the dark, adding an extra layer of safety to your outdoor experience.

Yes, a tarp made from 15D Ultra-Sil Nano nylon is suitable for various weather conditions, especially when combined with features like PU coating and fully taped seams. While it is lightweight and packable, it is also designed to withstand rain and wind, making it a versatile choice for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. Just ensure you set it up properly using the guy-out points for maximum stability.
