Nomad Tarp

The Nomad Tarp: Full Coverage, Featherweight Shelter

The Nomad Tarp is a full-coverage shelter built for both hammock and ground camping. It packs down small, pitches fast, and shrugs off wind and rain, so you can spend less time fussing with your setup and more time on the trail. Whether you string it over a hammock or stake it to the ground, the Nomad gives you dependable coverage in a clean, simple footprint.

Lightweight, Durable Dyneema® Composite Fabric

Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF) keeps this Nomad tarp featherlight yet tough enough for hard miles. The DCF barely stretches when wet, so your pitch stays tight through a long, rainy night. A bonded and sewn build reinforces every tie-out, which gives each stress point real strength without adding bulk. It also packs flat and small, leaving more room in your pack for the rest of your kit.

Pitch It Almost Anywhere

Fourteen perimeter tie-outs, two ridgeline tie-outs, and two panel pull-outs give the Nomad tarp plenty of ways to shape its pitch. Set it low and tight against driving rain, or open it up for airflow on a calm night. Half-inch D-rings anchor the perimeter and pull-outs, while larger three-quarter-inch D-rings handle the heavier loads at the ridgeline.

Fast, Knot-Free Setup

Add the optional LineLoc3 tensioners and you can pitch and adjust the whole Nomad tarp without tying a single knot. Pair them with two Line Clips on the ridgeline for a setup that takes seconds, even in the dark or with cold hands. The tensioners stay fixed on your lines, so there is nothing extra to lose at camp.

Seamless Ridgeline, Simple Storage

A seamless ridgeline means you never have to seam seal this Dyneema tarp. Every Nomad ships with a Dyneema® stuff sack and a repair kit, so storage and trailside fixes stay simple. Many campers also add a mesh tarp sleeve to keep their lines and fabric organized between trips. Hang a Circadian camping hammock underneath and you have a complete, weather-ready setup.

Build Your Nomad Tarp Your Way

Pick the size, color, and hardware that match how you camp, then round out your kit with your own guylines and stakes. However you pitch your Nomad tarp, tread lightly and follow Leave No Trace guidelines so the spots you sleep in stay wild for the next camper.
