AquaQuest Guide Tarp – Ultralight Waterproof Rain Fly (5,000 mm) 10×7, Forester Green

Meet the AquaQuest Guide Tarp

Designed for backpackers who want simple, effective shelter, the AquaQuest Guide Tarp is an ultralight rain fly that folds into a compact package. With a finished size of 9'7\" x 6'7\" and a coverage of 64 ft², it balances generous protection with minimal bulk. Weighing about 0.9 lb, it disappears in a backpack yet unfolds into a reliable canopy when you need dry shelter after a long day on the trail. Forester Green coloring helps it blend with forest environments, so stealth camp setups stay quiet and unobtrusive.

Prime waterproofing and fabric details

This tarp uses a dual-coated 40D ripstop nylon fabric rated to 5,000 mm, a specification that translates into rain-ready performance under heavy downpours and shifting winds. Heat-taped seams seal the critical edges, reducing the chance of leaks along ridges and corners. The combination of rugged ripstop with careful sealing gives you a shelter that remains dry through changing weather while keeping weight to a minimum.

• 5,000 mm waterproof rating for dependable rain protection
• Dual-coated 40D ripstop nylon offers strength without excess weight
• Heat-taped seams that seal out moisture at the joins

Lightweight, trail-worthy design

In the field, every ounce matters. The Guide Tarp delivers 64 ft² of shelter area with a lean-to, A-frame, asym, or hammock setup. It uses grosgrain ridgeline braces and dual-layer corner reinforcements to resist abrasion and maintain shape as you move through dirt, wind, and spray. With 13 stake-out points and bar-tacked tie-outs, the tarp remains stable during gusts and across uneven ground. When the sun returns, it packs down into a compact stuff sack that fits in even the smallest packs.

• 0.9 lb total weight for easy carry
• 64 ft² coverage suitable for one person plus gear
• 13 tie-outs for versatile rigging and stability
• Packs into a small stuff sack for convenient storage

Versatile pitching for a range of camps

Stealth-friendly, low-profile rigs help you choose the right shelter for the terrain and your camping style. Whether you’re in a windy canyon, a spruce-lined meadow, or a forest edge near a river, the Guide Tarp supports A-frame, lean-to, asymmetrical configurations, or even hammock setups. The design emphasizes stability and quick setup so you can focus on enjoying the night outdoors rather than fiddling with cords.
