Description
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.
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.
Made in Vietnam and field-tested in Montana

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.

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.

Click to enlargeHang 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.
