Sea to Summit Escapist Evo Tarp Ultralight Backpacking Shelter

Product Description

Ultralight versatility. The Sea to Summit Escapist Evo Tarp pitches easily with trekking poles, secured via circular bar tacks and adjusted from under the tarp using line tensioners at reinforced points. Upgraded for 2026, the Ultra-Sil LS fabric absorbs less water, stretches less, and dries faster—delivering a taut pitch in any weather. A catenary cut reduces edge flutter in wind. Refined and versatile, it’s a high-performance shelter for those going truly ultralight.

It can be pitched with the windward end low to the ground, so the tarp remains stable in high winds. The dual-use storage sack attaches to the tarp and functions as a pole pocket for branches or paddles when poles aren’t available. A central hang loop enables alternative pitch configurations from branches, and attached toggles let you quickly remove guy lines for faster, cleaner packdown.

Add insect protection with the optional Escapist Mesh Bug Shelter, which easily attaches and suspends from the tarp. The Ultra-Sil LS fabric is recycled, bluesign APPROVED, and non-PFAS for lower environmental impact.
