Introducing the T.A.R.P. – Tactical. Adjustable. Rugged. Packable.

At Kitanica, we don’t believe in gear that’s “good enough.” That’s why we built the T.A.R.P. (Tactical Adjustable Rugged Packable) — a utility tarp that’s overbuilt by design and ready for the unknown.

Whether you're braving backcountry storms, setting up basecamp, or rigging a makeshift shelter on the fly, the T.A.R.P. delivers serious protection and modular adaptability in a compact, stowable form.

Built Like Nothing Else

The T.A.R.P. isn’t your average square of fabric. It’s constructed from 1000D coated nylon that offers superior abrasion resistance, water repellency, and long-term durability — even in punishing environments. Reinforced edges and bar-tacked nylon webbing ensure strength where you need it most.

We designed it with nine strategically placed webbing tabs — giving you multiple rigging options whether you're stringing it as a sun shade, rain shelter, gear cover, or windbreak. Use the loops and hardware you already carry — 550 cord, carabiners, tent poles — to adapt the T.A.R.P. to your mission.

Compact. Functional. Always Ready.

Even though it's built tough, the T.A.R.P. packs small. Roll it, stash it in your pack, strap it to your rig — it’s ready when you are. Measuring 60" x 84", it offers the perfect footprint for solo coverage, an emergency bivvy setup, or even a gear dump zone in muddy terrain.

It’s lightweight, fast-deploying, and made to last a lifetime — like everything we stand behind.

Who’s It For?

  • Overlanders & off-grid explorers
  • Emergency preppers
  • Backpackers who beat the forecast
  • Field operators & tactical professionals
  • Anyone who doesn’t cut corners
  • Campers & backpackers
  • Snowboarders & skiers
  • Everyone except parachuters and slip n' slide connoisseurs 

Because You Never Know What’s Coming

The T.A.R.P. is a direct answer to the call for rugged, modular protection that adapts to you — not the other way around. And like all Kitanica gear, it’s built with one mission: to outlast whatever’s thrown at you.
