FAQ's

  • The best camping tarp size is dependent on your specific needs and preferences. To compare all of our different camping tarp sizes, check out this size guide.

  • When developing our Ultralight Tarps, we chose to use a 30D ripstop nylon with a dual silicone-PU waterproof coating as it offers the best balance of weight, durability and performance for most outdoor use scenarios. 

    Silnylon (silicone-coated nylon) has a little more stretch than silpoly (silicone-coated polyester), especially when wet, but in our experience this is actually an advantage. Fabrics that are more stiff can be more prone to tearing when subjected to impact, such as a sudden gust of wind, and may puncture or tear more easily if they come into contact with a sharp pressure point. 

  • All Alton Ultralight Tarps are extremely waterproof with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head rating and come fully seam sealed with heat tape. We use ripstop nylon with a dual silicone-PU coating that provides long-lasting and reliable performance in harsh conditions and excellent durability in the field.

  • In most cases, fixing a ripped tarp is a fast, easy process that requires minimal equipment. 

    For small to medium rips, tears or punctures, we recommend using  Tenacious Tape Silnylon Patches. Ensure the tarp is clean and dry, then apply the repair patch to both sides for best results. 

    For larger tears and rips, Tenacious Tape Repair Tape may be a better option. Cut to size and apply onto both sides of the damaged area to reinforce the fabric, then allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before exposing to water.
