IS THE ESCAPIST TARP...

• Suitable for bad weather? It can be. The reinforced corners help to spread a wind load, and the ability to pitch one end of the tarp lower (or right down to the ground) allows use in windy and rainy conditions. Skill and experience are key here.

• Compatible with Sea to Summit pyramid mosquito shelters? No – there is no way to secure the apex of these bug shelters to the tarp. However, the Bug Tent is designed to easily attach to the Escapist to form a perfect ultralight shelter for buggy conditions.

• Suitable for bikepacking? Possibly. You can flip over a mountain bike and pitch the apex over one fork stanchion to form a basic shelter (with a low apex height and obscured access to the entrance). It’s certainly an option for minimalists.
