Some tips of choosing shelter:

  1. Choose an outer fabric made from nylon 20D, 15D or DCF (Dyneema Composite Fabric/Cuben Fiber (CTF3), apart from being light, these materials have a water resistance of more than 1,500 mm.
  2. If it is a conventional tent, choose one that uses an alloy or carbon frame rather than a fiber frame which has a higher weight ratio.
  3. The maximum weight of the tarp tent is 800 grams for a one-person capacity, 1 kg for a capacity of two people. If there is no tarp tent available that meets these criteria, then it is better to choose a tent using a conventional tent by paying attention to the comfort factor.
  4. Choosing to use a tarp tent or fly sheet as a shelter, it is very effective for reducing base weight, it just requires special skills to build it compared to a free-standing tent which is easier to put up.
