Fjallraven Abisko Tarp – Details

What it is : It has been some time since I posted my preview of this tarp – since then I have continued to test it and have done so in a variety of conditions ranging from warm summer days and nights to cold and windy winter ones.

This is the 10×10’ Fjallraven Abisko and unfortunately this product is simply not worth the rather high cost.

After a great deal of testing I can share with you both the cons as well as the pros of what I consider to be an expensive disappointment.

Originally I purchased this from the Ray Mears site as it wasn’t available in the USA. Over time that has changed and this tarp is available on Amazon and it can be found at other sites as well. Not that I would recommend that you purchase it but as an FYI.

Colors :
Pine Green

Sizes :
10×10
11.5’ x 14.5’ –

Weights :
10×10 – 1.1lbs
11.5’ x 14.5’ – 1.9lbs

Materials :
40D TripleRip Sil/Sil 3000 mm 100% polyamide
Guyline: 2 mm Dyneema (160 kg) reflective

What’s included :

Storage bag
Six adjustable guylines (the large size includes 8 guylines)

Price :
10×10 – I paid $140 for this originally and it looks like the price has gone down over time. I’ve seen the 10×10’ for $120 and the
Large – 11.5ft’ x 14.5’- $214 instead of $240.

…
From the company :
The Fjallraven Abisko is made from lightweight, strong nylon. Practical as an accessory for tents but can also be used by itself as a shelter.

This 10 x 10’ is made from light and very strong 40 D TripleRip Sil-Nylon fabric and includes Dyneema guylines. A tarp can be used together with a regular tent to create an outside living space but is also easy to use by itself as a to sleep under.
Made for a lifetime of use.

Also easy to use by itself as a from wind and rain.
