A tarp or bivy bag is the right choice when you want a direct connection to nature — with exactly as much protection as the situation demands and not a gram more. From the ultralight nylon tarp for the hiking trip to the technical cotton tarp for basecamp, there is the right shelter for every use.
The right tarp depends on how you use it. For multi-day hiking and bikepacking where every gram counts, an ultralight nylon tarp is the right choice — compact, quick to pitch and versatile in countless configurations. For basecamp and glamping setups where atmosphere and durability take priority, a cotton tarp in technical cotton creates a warmth and character no synthetic material can match.
Tarps can be pitched in countless configurations — from simple rain cover for one person to a fully sheltered camp setup for a group. Choose the size based on intended use: smaller for solo trips, larger for basecamp and group setups. Most Nordisk tarps can be connected to tents and other tarps for seamless coverage across the entire camp.
Ultralight nylon tarps are the lightest and most compact solution — developed for tours where every gram is a decision. Technical cotton tarps are breathable, robust and develop a natural patina with use — the preferred choice for basecamp, glamping and the camps where you stay a little longer. Both materials are PFC-free and built to last season after season.
A bivy bag brings you as close to nature as possible — ultralight, compact and efficient for hiking, bikepacking and the nights when a tent is a gram too many. Use it as your primary sleep system on ultralight trips or as emergency shelter at the bottom of your pack.
