Equinox Globe Skimmer Ultralight 8' x 10' Silicone Nylon Backpacking Tarp UBG308

80 square feet of waterproof silnylon shelter — 13.9oz and infinitely configurable.

The Equinox Globe Skimmer is a full-size 8' x 10' backpacking tarp made from 1.1oz silicone-impregnated ripstop nylon. Ten black-oxidized grommets and three center-seam cotton twill ties give you multiple setup configurations for any terrain or weather condition. Packs into a mesh bag smaller than a Nalgene.

Why it works:

Silnylon is genuinely waterproof — not just water-resistant — and at 1.1oz per yard it's one of the lightest shelter fabrics available. Ten attachment points give you the flexibility to pitch as an A-frame, lean-to, diamond, or flat fly depending on conditions. The center ties add mid-span attachment options for creative configurations.

Ideal for: Ultralight backpackers, thru-hikers, tarp campers, and hammock campers who want a versatile, packable shelter system.
