The 1P Cirriform Tarp - a lightweight tarp shelter for hikers on the move

The Cirriform is for hikers who want to spend most of their day, well, hiking. Whether you're a seasoned ultralight tarp camper or making the jump from a freestanding tent, it delivers solid weather protection and an intuitive setup. With multiple inner options to adapt to your needs and the season, the Cirriform pitches fast, packs small, and holds its shape when the weather gets rough. It's the shelter we reach for on high-mileage days when the weather is unpredictable, and setup needs to be automatic and adaptable.

  • Full-coverage tarp
    Front and rear beaks for dependable weather protection
  • Dual-entry
    Side access for everyday use, front access when conditions call for it
  • Taut pitch
    Aggressive curvature and a low profile keep it taut through the night
  • Compact footprint
    Fits tight campsites while maintaining coverage
  • Recycled materials
    Tarp fabric, thread, and select webbing are made from recycled materials
  • Trail weight
    332g (11.7oz) for the tarp and 381g (13.6 oz) all in

Performance

The shaped geometry and Silpoly fabric work together to keep the pitch taut through the night. Silpoly resists sagging when wet, so you're not re-tensioning at 3am. The curvature handles wind and sheds rain without requiring a perfectly flat campsite. When bugs or condensation are a factor, pair it with one of our inners to run it as a full double-wall setup.


Dual Entry

The Cirriform has two entry points, and each has a purpose. The side entry is the everyday option - easy to get in and out, and on clear nights, we love rolling it back for a view of the stars. Use the front entry to keep the sleeping area covered when weather moves in. Switching between them is as simple as moving a clip.


Pair it with an inner

The Cirriform pairs with a bivy, net-tent, or floor to create a modular double-wall shelter you can adapt to the season and conditions. We make three inners designed for it: the Y-zip Bug Bivy, the 1P Bug Shelter, and the Tub Floor. Most other brands' inners will work too. The Cirriform DW bundles the tarp with the Bug Bivy or Bug Shelter at a discount.


Trekking pole supported

Pitches with your trekking poles or tent poles. The Cirriform accommodates front poles from about 37" to 44" (94-115 cm). Poles of 26"-33" (66-84 cm) are best for the foot end, though longer poles can be adapted.

Optional pole sets are available for those who prefer to travel without trekking poles.


Notes/FAQ:

  • Do I need a groundsheet or inner? That's up to you, but if you're not using an inner, you'll probably want to use a groundsheet or floor.
  • Do I need to seal the seams? Tarp seams should be sealed using a sealer for silicone coated fabrics (we recommend Seam Grip +SIL by Gear Aid). Optional seam sealing service available.

Recycled, 20D Silpoly

The Recycled 20D Silpoly fabric uses a silicone-based coating on both sides. Silpoly absorbs less water than silnylon, reducing surprise weight, while lower sag ensures the tarp stays taut through the night.

    • Weight: 40-41 gsm | ~1.2 - oz/yd2
    • Hydrostatic Head: ~1800mm
    • Outer face coating: Silicone-based
    • Inner face coating: Silicone-based
    • PFAS Free: Yes

Seam sealing: Due to the silicone coating, the seams cannot be taped and need to be manually sealed with seam sealer. You can do this yourself or use our seam-sealing service. Seam sealer is available here, and more information can be found on our Seam Sealing page.

Hang loops

Hang loops for suspending inners are placed under each apex and near the corners. When pitched low, the loops help keep floating tub floors elevated - just run the corner lines through the loops before clipping to the tarp.


Required items (not included):

  • Front Pole: About 44" - 45" (~111 - 114 cm) if pairing with the Bug Shelter or 39" - 42" (~99 - 107cm) if pairing with the Bivy
  • Rear Pole: At least 31" (~79cm) if pairing with the Bug Shelter or at least 26" (~66cm) if pairing with the Bivy
  • Stakes: 6 (8 for better wind stability)

Pitching

How to pitch the Cirrifrom

Start by staking out the corners of the tarp to establish your base. Raise the poles at the peaks and stake them to form the shelter's shape. Adjust and tension the lines evenly for a tight, balanced pitch.

Drill bits not sharp
Size: 9 Holes
Just used the shelf pin hole jig for the first time. Seams to be a decent product. The failure with this product is the all too Repetitive China Factor. As everything they make to be sold in America has that inherent built-in factor for failure. It starts with the drill bit. Not sharp at all wich causes you to add more pressure than is needed, which causes the depth collar to slide on the drill bit, because it is made of cheap metal. Be very careful. After about 8-10 holes check your depth.

Great Value, Compact, & Reliable Mous
Color: Blue, Style: 1-Pack
The Amazon Basics 2.4Ghz mouse works well right out of the box. I really appreciate its compact size, as it doesn’t take up much space on a mouse pad or flat surface—great if you’re working in a limited area. Its ergonomic design also feels comfortable under the hand. Overall, I think it offers good value for the money, and it’s very easy to set up and use. So far, the battery life has been solid—I’ve used it for three months and it’s still going strong. I put in Amazon Basics battery in this mouse, and surprisingly it lasting a long time.

A Simple, Effective, and Inexpensive Device
Color: Silver, Style: 1-Pack
I have tried many variations of the standard computer mouse over the years. You probably have too. From weird angles, extra buttons in the scroll, funny side buttons that only make you go backwards on your web browser...Sometimes, you just want a point, click, scroll...and that's it. Pros: - This mouse delivers on simplicity. It doesn't have fancy advanced features. This basically functions as a point and click. It has a left and right hand button to do those old fashioned right and left button tasks. It has a basic scroll button. It's low tech features, but quality built for those features that it has. - It seems to work on most surfaces without a mouse pad. - Cost is ridiculously low. It's almost so low that you question its quality. In this case - it's Amazon. Amazon has really delivered on their Amazon Basics division. This falls neatly into that category of awesome but inexpensive Amazon Basics stuff. - Connected within a second to my computer (Mac). I don't see any connectivity issues. I didn't have to download drivers at all. Cons - I haven't used it long term yet so if there is a break down, or the battery life turns out to be poor, I will update. For now, it's behaving beautifully. Overall, if you miss a nice, simple, uncomplicated mouse - start here. Worst case scenario, you can return it. After all, Amazon has been standing behind their stuff for a while now so I'm not afraid to start with theirs and see how well they did. This is another one that didn't disappoint and it cost 50% less than its nearest competitor (at the time I bought it at least).
