The Utopia 2+ delivers serious weather protection

The world’s first 4-season dedicated free-standing backcountry tarp, the Utopia 2+ delivers serious weather protection, unparalleled space-to-weight ratio, superb durability, and is ideal when all you need is a roof or a wind shedding tarp. Dual full-length side vents provide excellent air flow, reflective stake out loops keep you from tripping in the middle of the night and the hydrophilic thread at the seams expand when wet—sealing the seams and eliminating the need for liquid sealant. Use with or without the Utopia 2+ Floor.
