Oilskin Tarp

This is it. The world-famous Tentsmith’s tarp. Shelter anywhere, everywhere under your own lovely oilskin tarp. Constructed of the same fabric as our Watchcoats, the oil/wax-finished long-staple cotton makes a wonderful tarp for a great early feel. The dark tan/brown fabric is 6.25 oz. per square yard. All tarps are finished with loops on all four sides and on the seam.

Tarps are available in a 8’×8′ or 10′ x 9’4″. They have one seam and are finished with a center loop. All the loops are heavy duty as they need to stand up to the constant tugging and pulling from the elements.

Note: The center extra heavy-duty reinforcement is added to all tarp purchased through Self Reliance Outfitters for those folks that might want to use the tarp as in the diamond set up.

For those who will be backpacking with their tarps, weights are listed below:

• 8′ x 8′ – 4.2 pounds
• 10′ x 9’4″ – 5.8 pounds
