Just to let you know that when I visited the Alpkit Inverness shop they were selling the T2 inner, which the assistant said wasn't available online for sale. I bought it and used one of my £20 voucher's too. I've yet to try it out.
looking forward to seeing them in action im keen on the tarp 1, as Im doing the cumbrian way next yr. I think this would be ideal. thoughts all the best
Yes, would definitely recommend it for a multi-day hike. It's a bit compromised compared to a more rigid tent design, but it's so light and easy to put up that it's worth it
I bought the Tarpstar 1 and a footprint too (for a bit of protection against ticks) but to be honest, combined they weigh more than the Tarpstar 2. I've had the T1 on a SwimCamping outing last weekend and it kept me dry through some heavy rain and it held well in the wind too.
Yes, both are good for different reasons/uses. Ideal for bike packing. The tarpstar could be erected with a stick instead of a trekking pole if you want to travel mega-light
