Durable, hardworking and exceptionally versatile, the Orson Shadow 3x3m Tarp is built to deliver fast, reliable shelter in unpredictable backcountry conditions. Now available in a stealthy, versatile Sand (light brown) finish, this tarp blends seamlessly into alpine tussock, riverbeds, beaches and bush environments.
Whether you’re pitching a lightweight fly for hunting, creating a hammock canopy, extending your 4WD awning, or running a minimalist tarp-and-bivy setup, the Shadow 3x3m gives you the ultimate balance of waterproof coverage, toughness, and pitching freedom.
