DD Hammocks Superlight Bikepacker Tarp

The DD SuperLight Bikepacker Tarp is designed to give you freedom to pitch up anywhere on the trail - from a quiet roadside spot to an epic journey through the hills.

Setting up in mere minutes using your bike as an aid, this tarp will provide shelter and a comfortable place to lie down for the night (or for a lunch stop!) before the journey continues. A sturdy bike anchor strap pegged over the handlebars keeps your bike upright, whilst the tarp is looped over your saddle and pegged out behind for a spacious 1-person shelter in seconds.

We know that weight and pack size is a huge consideration when packing your bike, so this tarp is made from DD Hammocks SuperLight material - the same fully waterproof and ultralight material as our popular SuperLight Tarps and Tents.

Including Pegs and anchor strap, the whole thing weighs in at just over half a kilogram. It packs down incredibly small - leaving plenty of room for more in your seatpack, handlebar roll - or even your jersey pocket.

Versatile design - not just for bikes!

Despite the name, you don't need a bike to use this tarp. With its innovative diamond-shaped design, plenty of peg loops and a looped ridgeline, this tarp can also be set up using ridgeline cord for an overhead shelter between trees - or even pegged into the ground and configured into a "plough-point" setup! A perfect option for a quick rain shelter or ground bivi camp - or keeping the wind off your stove during a lunchbreak.

When used with a bike, we recommend guying out the additional guy-line loop to an external point. The set-up works best when this point is level to or higher than the loop, for example to a tree branch - or by taking the guy-line over a rock or fallen branch to raise the foot end.
