If you are fed up with every unnecessary gram you need to carry with you, ULTRALIGHT – Tarp 3×3 / dark olive is a real gain for you. It’s one of the absolutely lightest on the market full-size (3mx3m) tarp. It weighs only 425g!
If you are fed up with every unnecessary gram you need to carry with you, ULTRALIGHT – Tarp 3×3 / dark olive is a real treat for you.Everything is ULTRA-light here – we made sure that even the puller is ultra-light.
It weighs less than 0.5 g. We checked – exactly 0.4831g!
When it is packed, the tarp takes very little space – as much as 1l bottle.
Thanks to this, it works well as an element of ultralight equipment for a walker, as well as a bicycle tourist, canoeist, etc. Generally, if you are an outdoor enthusiast, this is absolutely the equipment for you.
Construction
The tarp is sewn using 100% waterproof ultralight 15D silnylon reinforced with a micro rip-stop.
The waterproof silicone layer provides immunity up to 2500mm H2O.
There are 19 characteristic loops arranged around and 3 through the middle of the tarp.
The middle sewing line and the loops are reinforced and secured with a special black tape. The tape is hot-welded, and therefore, it permanently bonds with the silicone layer creating strong watertight ridge.
This technology ensures that the tarp is fully waterproof and strengthened at this point.
As added 6 pulling lines (3m each) with the tensioning system and a bag with transport handles.
Loops
Specially designed loops are much easier to use than the classic ones.
The characteristic clearance between the loop tapes not only makes it easier to work in difficult conditions but also allows the tape to better fit around the lashings.
An inconspicuous change in the construction of the loop also allows to better/wider distribute forces acting on the tarp edges. For this reason, we could resign from sewn reinforcements on the sides without losing strength. The loops on the corners are the most exposed to overloading, therefore we left traditional reinforcements, thanks to which our tarps are even stronger.
Tuotteen pakkauksessa lukee paino 480 g. Pelkkä tarppi ilman naruja ja pusseja painoi tarkassa kotivaa’assa 497 g. Narujen ja pussien kanssa 583 g. Onneksi en ole grammanviilaaja, muuten voisi harmittaa.
Narut saisivat olla heijastavasta materiaalista.
Muuten pakkautuu pieneen tilaan (vs DD tarppi). Yhden kerran käytön jälkeen ihan ok kokemus. Lenkkien kiinnitysten ja sateenkestävyys jää nähtäväksi tulevaisuudessa.
Olen PETTYNYT. Saatuani tuotteen, punnittsin sen heti ja tarpin painoksi osottautui 466g. Mielestäni se on hieman liikaa UL tuotteesta. Kun ilmoitettu paino on 425g, niin tuote on lähes 10% painavampi, kuin spekseissä ilmoitetaan. Mielestäni valmistajan prosessit eivät ole ihan kohdallaan. Ymmärrän että tuotannossa ja materiaaleissa on hajontaa, mutta tuotetta jota mainostetaan Ultra Light tuotteena, hajontaa on liian paljon.
