Top Rated: Scramble G-Mod 55 Deluxe Solo / 2-Person UL Tarp (8.6 / 10)
Category: Tarp + Bivvy Bag (1. Tarp)
The G-Mod 55 is a minimalist deluxe solo / ultralight 2 person tarp designed to be setup quickly in harsh conditions with minimal fuss. Targeted specifically at bivvy bag users, the G-Mod 55 provides 5.5 sqm of cover and is designed to have one or two sides pegged tight to the ground, creating an effective wind and rain barrier in stormy conditions.
Colour-coded, high retraction attachment loops aid setup in low light conditions and help reduce stress on ultralight tarp poles in high winds, while Cordura reinforcements and Dyneema/Polyester cord loops offer superb tear resistance and load tolerance.
With an impressively small pack size and weighing in at around 400g (including stuff sack) the G-Mod 55 makes for a highly protective and spacious shelter easily capable of accomodating two bivvy bag users. For solo long distance trekking the extra space it provides just makes everything so much easier and more enjoyable.
We made the G-Mod tarps because we weren't happy recommending UL tarps that simply didn't serve our purposes. Sometimes if you want something done properly you've got to do it yourself - we're very happy we did. The G-Mod 55 is Scramble's, unashamedly, top pick in the Tarp + Bivvy Bag category and our recommendation for anyone who has Reasons To Go Modular.
