Description

The Gossamer Gear® SilTwinn™ is our old friend the SpinnTwinn™ cloned in silnylon. Other than the fabric change, they are exactly the same. The result is a well established, elegantly functional tarp design that weighs just a bit more and costs a little less. Silnylon is more forgiving when pitching, but may need to be re-tensioned when damp or wet, has about the same waterproofness as our spinnaker, and is quieter and softer than new spinnaker.

The SilTwinn™ provides plenty of room for two, and offers an amazing amount of space for the solo hiker Imagine carrying a two person shelter that only weighs 11 oz and having all that room to yourself? Combine the SilTwinn™ with a lightweight bivy and/or a Gossamer Gear® Bug Canopy and you could weather anything a normal 3 season hiker would encounter, including light snow!
