{"product_id":"the-canopy-argument-aricxi-black-coated-camping-tarp","title":"The Canopy Argument | AricXi 210D Black-Coated Camping Tarp, UPF 50+ and 5000 mm","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tarp is the cheapest structure you will ever own. Stretched between two trees it becomes a kitchen, a lounge, and a rain shadow, and it weighs less than the chair you would carry instead. What separates one tarp from another is not the shape. It is the coating and the stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is cut from thickened 210D oxford cloth with a black coating on the underside. The black layer does two jobs at once: it blocks 98 percent of the light, and it holds back water at a 5000 millimetre rating, which is well above the 3000 millimetre figure most budget tarps quote at the seams. UPF 50+ means the same cloth that keeps the rain out also keeps the sun off a group of three or four people sitting underneath it. Two sizes are stocked, 400 by 300 centimetres and 500 by 440 centimetres, both in a light coffee tone that reads calm in photographs and stays cooler in direct sun than a dark canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePegs and guy ropes come in the bag. Poles do not, which is deliberate: most owners already carry trekking poles, and leaving them out keeps the pack lighter and the price honest. Rig it high for shade, rig it low for weather, and it earns its place in the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeather is not a forecast.
