Description
The SpinnShelter is a tarp/shelter made by Gossamer Gear. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 2 user reviews.
Manufacturer's Description:
The SpinnShelter is the lightest weight, full protection waterproof shelter available on the market today. It provides 4.9 sq. ft. (.5 sq. m.) of floor space per ounce of waterproof shelter.
The SpinnShelter has a computer-designed catenary ridgeline, for optimum pitch and tension with minimum fabric stress, and to minimize flapping in winds. The front doors can be pitched open, one side closed to provide a windbreak, with a beak on the open side to provide additional overhang, or fully enclosed as a vestibule. For meal breaks in inclement weather, the SpinnShelter can be set up as a lean-to or fly. The sides of the shelter can be pitched to the ground for severe weather and breezy conditions, or with line to allow better ventilation in humid conditions.
The peak height allows an average hiker to sit up in the shelter. The latest version of the SpinnShelter has been redesigned with a single rear door. The older models had two rear doors, like the front. The new rear door does not provide a beak or vestibule but is flush with the rear sidewalls of the tarp. This configuration makes it much easier to achieve a taut pitch.
MSRP: $195

Weighing 9 ounces dry and being compactable to the size of a grapefruit makes this the F-1 Ferrari of one-person tarp shelters."

I have used the SpinnShelter on many backpacking adventures. I believe that it is one of the most advanced designed tarps out there. On nights when the weather (windy conditions) is not so great the full protection tarp shelters perfectly."
