Talus Tarp

Just yard practice and day trips so far, but what a cool tarp. Initially wished there was more guy out points on the short sides but after some playing around and being realistic about how I will actually use it it is exactly the minimalist setup I wanted. Shakes water off incredibly well too, very impressed with that. Bought extra stakes to utilize every guy out and added cordage here and there for my style. Line locks are slick. Did great in the yard over a couple frosty nights very minimal sag. Can’t wait to camp under it next spring and utilize it where I can this winter deer hunting and playing outside with the kids!

Just finished 2nd season Elk hunt and this tarp was amazing when the heavy snow started!

I’m under my Argali Talus Tarp as I write this review, 3rd day of rain in the Idaho backcountry. I’m dry, my gear is dry and a small fire keeping me warm. My Talus Tarp has kept me in the game for when the storm breaks tomorrow morning and all the game gets out to sun their soaked hides. I do have a 2P enclosed tent that I sleep in but would go 5150 inside a tent all day. With the tarp I can glass when the fog, clouds lift and rain breaks.

Set up is quick and easy, on a trip prior I dropped my pack in the rain, trekking pole and guy lined the tarp over my gear and was out of the rain in no time.

In my opinion the Talus Tarp should never leave your pack, make it a necessity and a piece of survival equipment. Due to the size and weight, why not?

Great tarp. Plenty of room for two plus gear. Highly recommend. Argali customer service is top tier.

Great item to add to your day pack for any season. Provides shade/ rain cover for pre season and early season af, and rain/snow cover for unpredicted squalls or storms in mid- late season. I used the Talus Tarp this year in replacement of my one man tent for archery elk season all of September while out on 1-6 day self supported backpack hunts. It also great to use to cover gear in base camp. It’s going to be hard to take this out of my pack.

This is a great tarp. The pre-attached lineloc adjusters and para cord make this thing a breeze to setup. I also really like the reinforced center fabric so you can put a trekking pole in the middle for various setups.

Great Tarp, I used it for my Mule deer hunt in November 2026. Set up the tarp twice due to rain. The quality of construction is great, the size is more than enough for two guys and gear. If I was hunting solo, I would have liked a smaller tarp.. It was windy and raining so the tarp does make noise as the wind catches it. I would have like longer tie town straps all the way around, buts that's an easy fix. It seemed heavier than I expected. It packs down pretty small. Over all I was very pleased

I have never used SilPoly before. The stretch in wet conditions is substantially less than SilNylon. ( I left my Rincon of the same material out in a Nor Easter and not a drop of rain)The tieouts on this tarp are well thought out and the fact that it comes with stakes is fantastic. I absolutely love the reinforcement patch in the center. I do wish it came in 10x10 and would give it a hands down 6 out of stars.

Got this as protection from the wind and sun while glassing in Wyoming. Recently took my teenage daughter out for a doe hunt and she forgot her rain gear. A freak thunderstorm came down from the mountains and hit the powder river where we were sitting. Fortunately I had this this in my pack so I set up a quick shelter and it easily covered us and our gear. Covered us both during our hunt. Unfortunately she missed her deer, but we had a great time regardless.

Can’t wait to use it

Great tarp

Great tarp for sleeping under or for keeping camp items out of the elements. Recently used on a fly fishing trip. Packs down light and dries quickly.

I used this on my early season mule deer hunt in Utah. Tied it up to a couple junipers and fit 3 grown men, 3 packs, and two bows comfortably with room to spare. Kept us bone dry in the rain. Packs down smaller than a Nalgene bottle you’ll never notice the weight.

Awesome tarp, can't wait to put it to the test this fall!!

Great service and quick delivery. Tarp looks great, can’t wait to try it in the field!

Excellent tarp. I pitched it in a closed A-Frame for a backcountry turkey hunt. The night we arrived it was raining, and it rained through the night. I woke up dry as a bone. This is incredibly easy to pitch. My only wish would be it would come with enough stakes for all the guy out points.

Super excited to add this to my setup. Getting stranded on the side of a mountain with no tarp makes a man pay whatever it costs to get the best there is!

Easy to set up and light weight. Only used it in a-frame and modified a-frame so far and slept in it one night, but plan to use it much more

Good item. Well worth it when it rains.

Worked very well during a storm. Kept us dry and setup and take down were easy. This will always be in my pack

was hesitant to purchase. then bought it for an Alaska trip. it rained every day and was worth the money!

Light and versatile. Just what I was hoping for with this tarp!

stupid light and beyond multi functional. Vital piece of gear

I just wrapped up a 12 day moose/caribou hunt in the Brooks Range in Alaska. Having one of the wettest weeks in recent years made for some very challenging conditions. This tarp from Argali completely changed the level of comfort we were able to achieve to keep at it day after day in terrible weather. While most would have been hiking back to camp, we were able to hunker down and achieve higher success because of it. I will never not have this tarp in my pack.

Great product as advertised cant wait to use it

Used this tarp as cover to get out of the rain and wind on my caribou hunt. Kept us dry and warm

Couldn’t ask for much more than this when looking for a tarp. Looking forward to using this tarp for years to come.

This will be a product that is always with me in my bag on any Western hunt. A wide range of use cases with an incredible amount of configurability available for set up. Additionally, Argali has practical, straightforward instructional videos on how to get the most out of this piece of equipment.

Quality of construction is top notch, material selection makes it incredibly lightweight yet durable. Stuff sack is more than large enough to hold product and its final volume and weight once packed makes it a no brainer to throw in the bag as insurance.
