Big Agnes ground tarp: online purchase at the best price

A ground tarp protects your tent, improves insulation, and extends its lifespan. For drier and more comfortable nights, complete your Big Agnes outdoor equipment during your outdoor adventures.

Why a ground tarp?

• Protection against moisture and tears.
• Increased thermal insulation: useful in spring and autumn.
• Reduces wear on your original tent tarp.
• Easy to replace and often cheaper than a repair.

Types of tarps and their benefits

• Ultra-light: low bulk, ideal for hiking. Good protection/weight compromise.
• Insulated: thermal layer for cold nights, increases comfort.
• Custom (footprint): tailored to a specific tent for maximum protection.

Quick comparison

• Weight: ultra-light < 300 g < standard insulated.

• Insulation: insulated tarps > thin tarps.
• Price: basic < insulated < specific footprint.

How to choose the right model?

Check the size and shape of your tent, the weight you are willing to carry, and the terrain frequency. If you are going on a trek, prioritize a lightweight model that is resistant to rocks.
