More and more hikers are going ultralight. That"s why Granite Gear chose now to introduce an ultralight tarp that they"ve been brewing for quite some time. This simple shelter is engineered to perform. The edges have a slight catenary cut that helps keep the whole thing taut. The edges and center seam are bound with Tension Tape which allows the ultralight 30-D Sil Cordura Ripstop fabric to be stretched tight as a drum from eight points along the edge and one in the center. After setup, the corners can be tightened without re-tying. Comes with micro cordage and stuffs into it"s own attached stuff sack. Weights include self storing stuff sack and guy lines (no stakes). Tension Tape and quick adjustment make the White Lightnin" an ultralight tarp that"s easy to pitch.
