Alton 2.8m x 1.8m Lightweight Hoochie Tarp
We have re-engineered the iconic Australian Hoochie to create an ultralight, durable and adaptable waterproof shelter for long-haul adventures where every gram counts.
Expert-Approved Functionality
Developed in collaboration with experienced hikers, bushcrafters and adventurers, Alton’s 2.8m x 1.8m Ultralight Hoochie Tarp (also known as a hutchie tent, basha or hootchie) has been strategically designed with flat edges and a non-catenary cut for maximum functionality and unrivalled versatility. With 3,000mm waterproofing, seam sealing throughout, and a UV effectiveness rating of over 95%, it delivers top-notch protection for variable wilderness conditions.
Innovative Adaptability
Equip yourself with an ultralight outdoor shelter that is as capable and adaptable as you are. As the lightest and most compact camping tarp in our collection, the 2.8m x 1.8m Hoochie Tarp excels in specialised scenarios, such as solo adventures, bushcraft, and tactical missions. And thanks to its innovative expandable design, you can securely fasten two or more Hoochie Tarps together to create a spacious group shelter when needed.
Pro-Grade Performance
The 2.8m x 1.8m Ultralight Hoochie Tarp delivers pro-grade durability, versatility, and lightweight performance at a fair price. Made from premium materials and backed by our Lifetime Warranty*, you can rely on it to withstand the toughest conditions without weighing you down.
