The Deschutes Plus is the ultimate tarp shelter – go light, go fast, go bug-free.
The Deschutes Plus carries all the promises of a no-frills tarp with the added benefit of a No-See-Um skirt. So you can leave your bug net at home and still not suffer – and you only gain 3 ounces. The pyramid-style design is incredibly stable providing 360° protection in some of the most extreme conditions. The Deschutes Plus gives any hiker the freedom to move fast and light and sleep in bug-free comfort.
*To completely repel water, shelters need to have sealer applied to the seams before use.
*Shelters including a seam sealing service may not ship immediately.


The Deschutes shelter provides 44 sq. ft. of protection and is easily set up with one trekking pole to a maximum height of 49 inches. This allows plenty of room to sit up without feeling tight.**
The tiny footprint allows you to pitch this tarp in even the most precarious spots. That means you can nest yourself among a dense forest of trees.
With the added net skirt, you have one less annoyance to deal with at the end of a high mile day. The generous 18-inch width still allows you the flexibility to set up the shelter at different heights.
And on bugless nights, throw open the large entry for some extra ventilation and an evening of stargazing.
