Over-Engineered to Outlast Everything
The Defender has been field-tested for decades in some of the harshest conditions on the planet — earning a global reputation for toughness. It leads our lineup of #1 reviewed tarp shelters on YouTube and remains the go-to for those who prioritize reliability over weight. Built with 70D nylon, reinforced tie-outs, and a 20,000 mm waterproof rating, it'll handle whatever weather comes next. Five sizes. Stuff sack included.
Tough by Design
70D nylon, reinforced ridgelines, rugged webbing tie-outs, and bombproof stitching — every element is built to stand up to tension, abrasion, and years of hard use.
Weatherproof for the Wild
From sideways rain to wind and snow, the Defender’s dual-layer waterproof system shrugs off whatever the weather throws down.
Not Ultralight. Ultra Reliable.
The Defender isn’t our lightest tarp — and it’s not trying to be. It’s built for people who prioritize strength over weight, and count on their gear to hold up through serious storms and repeated use. Those extra ounces buy next-level confidence.
