Shelter Snugpak Stasha G2 — Olive

The Stasha G2 is a rectangular shelter tarp made from waterproof polyester, designed for those who move fast and light: with a surface area of 2.44x1.63 metres — nearly 4 square metres of coverage — and a weight of just 370 grams, it delivers real protection without adding meaningful load to your pack. It suits fast hiking, wilderness camping, group activities and field use during the warmer months.

The rectangular shape is the most versatile choice for a field tarp: unlike diamond or rhombus configurations that lock you into fixed setups, the Stasha G2 works as a classic lean-to, side basha, ridge tarp, emergency bivi and even an improvised stretcher. The generous surface area means both the user and part of their kit can fit under cover — a detail that genuinely matters in emergency situations. The usual trade-off of any uninsulated shelter applies: it protects against wind, rain and sun, not against cold; below certain temperatures it should be paired with an insulating layer or sleeping bag.

The 100% waterproof polyester keeps water out even during prolonged rainfall, while the low weight means the Stasha G2 is a realistic addition to any outing rather than a piece of kit relegated to the bottom of the bag as a «Plan B». Those who carry it tend to use it as a first response rather than an emergency reserve, precisely because it has almost no impact on overall load.
