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.

  • 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.

The orange ones are perfect!
Size: Medium (Pack of 2), Color: Assorted
I wish I could give 4 1/2 stars but it isn't possible. The reason why I don't give 5 stars is because no one sells these in a 2 pack of just orange balls. I was able to find blue only but not orange only. I have a pitbull and so does my good friend. We take our dogs out all the time and they absolutely love chasing these balls.... The orange ones to be exact. They will not play with or bring the blue balls back. They are a waste. I had to buy 2 packs to keep the oranges. I'm taking the blue ones to the local dog park and just dropping them off. Now to the reason these balls deserve 5 stars: They are super easy to throw and they also make a slight whistling noise when you throw them because of the holes. They are real easy to wash due to the material. Also, they are pretty indestructible. The only reason I'm ordering more is due to them being lost. Our dogs have never torn them apart. I'm sure they could if we let them, but we use these for chase, not as chew toys. My friend also tied a rope through one of the balls to throw and retrieve with the rope. He uses this as a fun indoor toy. These do not float in water but I buy other chuckit balls for that purpose. They have the orange balls with the blue stripe which work great in pools. The balls are awesome and I keep coming back for more. Hopefully your dogs like the blue balls.

Worth the money
Size: Medium (Pack of 2), Color: Assorted
I've had several sizes of Chuck-It ball launchers for years but had resisted buying the balls to go with them because I had about 50 tennis balls already that cost only pennies apiece and these were quite a bit more expensive. But, I got tired of the dogs chewing up the tennis balls. I'd start a ball throwing session with a brand new ball and for the first few throws it would sail through the air and the dogs would have to work to retrieve it. However on the way back, their jaws would work it, chomp-chomp-chomp. And when they returned to me, they'd want to stand there and chomp some more, despite my command to "Drop it!" Within 30 minutes, the brand new ball would have a hole in it and then instead of sailing several football fields through the air, then bouncing over a couple of trees, I'd throw it and it would piddle unenthusiastically to the end of the driveway before falling to the ground with a sulky thud, not even bothering to bounce. So - I finally grew tired of going through a ball every time I play with the dogs - which is everyday - and ordered these chuck-it balls. They are the same size as a tennis ball but made of a rubber-like material (not silicone) and after several months of use, have no wear and tear on them at all. The dogs can exercise their gums on them all the way back to me - throw after throw - and the ball still flies the same distance each time, and bounces satisfyingly upon contact with the ground. The description says "colors may vary" but the first packet I ordered were blue and orange as pictured. Unfortunately my dog lost the orange one the first time we used it. She got thirsty and ran down to our pond for a drink, dropped the ball in the pond and it hasn't been seen since. It is dense enough it doesn't float as a tennis ball might, and by now is probably so covered in mud and slime that I wouldn't recognize it if I tripped over it. Lesson learned: we don't throw the ball in the pond pasture any more. After losing the orange ball, I ordered a second packet of the balls so that I would always have a spare. The second packet is also blue and orange. So while colors may vary, in my experience so far, they haven't (which doesn't matter to me or the dogs).

Super Chewer Friendly!!
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Multi
This ball is perfect for the super Chewer!! It is squishy and durable rubber that stands up to the aggressive chewer. It does not squeak. It has great bounce and is a great toy for fetch. Very cute to watching my pup bring the ball back for another throw. The rubber doesn't stick or have an average powering smell. It smells just like a rubber ball. It is highly functional for a great game of fetch! Highly recommend and very happy with our purchase. It is well worth the price. We will be ordering more.

Balls
Size: Medium
My dog loves chasing these balls. He seems to love the squeak! They fit the chuck it stick perfectly, and are great replacements for the originals that came with the stick.
