Great as minimalist backpacking tarp or as a picnic shelter for extended stays at the beach, the Sierra Designs Origami 2 Ultralight offers a sturdy design with more useable space than performance tarp shelter designs with similar weight profiles. All you need to add is a telescoping snowshoe or trek pole that extends up to 58 inches. The Origami is a surprisingly sturdy pentagon-shaped shelter of five equilateral triangles that cover an area up to 52 square feet. It's a practical alternative to those tarp shelters that wobble and waiver in light breezes. Extend the pole in mild weather for added headroom or lower it for better wind resistance when it's windy. Lowering the center pole also creates a wider shelter area (up to 52 square feet) for two slumbering adults and extra summer backpacking gear.
