Features
- Versatile Pitching-Line-loc adjusters on every guyout point with two long 48" pieces of paracord allow the tarp to be pitched in a variety of ways. Easily swap the paracord in different line locs, or add your own, to adjust the pitch.
- Reinforced Center-X-pac fabric center for added pitching versatility.
- Lightweight-17.2 ounce shelter weight with paracord.

ABOUT
Talus Tarp
I’m under my Argali Talus Tarp as I write this review, 3rd day of rain in the Idaho backcountry. I’m dry, my gear is dry and a small fire keeping me warm. My Talus Tarp has kept me in the game for when the storm breaks tomorrow morning and all the game gets out to sun their soaked hides. I do have a 2P enclosed tent that I sleep in but would go 5150 inside a tent all day. With the tarp I can glass when the fog, clouds lift and rain breaks.
Set up is quick and easy, on a trip prior I dropped my pack in the rain, trekking pole and guy lined the tarp over my gear and was out of the rain in no time.
In my opinion the Talus Tarp should never leave your pack, make it a necessity and a piece of survival equipment. Due to the size and weight, why not?
Great tarp. Plenty of room for two plus gear. Highly recommend. Argali customer service is top tier.
Great tarp
Great tarp for sleeping under or for keeping camp items out of the elements. Recently used on a fly fishing trip. Packs down light and dries quickly.
I used this on my early season mule deer hunt in Utah. Tied it up to a couple junipers and fit 3 grown men, 3 packs, and two bows comfortably with room to spare. Kept us bone dry in the rain. Packs down smaller than a Nalgene bottle you’ll never notice the weight.
