Perfect for backpacking, camping, and hiking, this innovative design ensures you stay dry and comfortable in any weather. ## Description Product description [THE ULTIMATE 2-IN-1 SUL SHELTER SYSTEM] [REDEFINE YOUR BASE WEIGHT] The Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape is the ultimate dual-purpose shelter system for the minimalist hiker. At only 11 oz, this unique hybrid transforms from a full-coverage, waterproof poncho into a spacious 35 sq. ft. solo tarp shelter. Engineered to replace both your rain gear and your tent, it provides 360-degree protection without the bulk of traditional gear. [PRO-GRADE 15D SilPoly PERFORMANCE] The Gatewood Cape utilizes 15D Silicone Coated Polyester (SilPoly), a textile engineered to outperform traditional SilNylon in volatile high-altitude environments. MODULAR SYSTEM: Designed to grow with your needs, the Gatewood Cape integrates seamlessly with the Serenity NetTent for 360-degree bug protection. Carry only what you need for the terrain. ZERO-SAG STABILITY: Unlike SilNylon, which stretches when wet, our 15D SilPoly maintains a tight, aerodynamic pitch even when saturated by heavy rain or condensation. UV RESISTANCE: 15D Polyester provides better UV stability than Nylon, ensuring your shelter maintains high-tenacity tensile strength over years of exposure. ULTRALIGHT DURABILITY: High-tenacity 15D fiber balances extreme weight savings with professional durability. The entire dual-purpose system weighs only 11 oz (310g) . WATERPROOF: Both sides of the fabric feature a non-stretch Silicone coating for immediate, reliable waterproof performance. Review: Not dyneema, but super light and adequate coverage when pitched. - Love it; it lets the air in. Works great with my bivy. I only carry a tarp if I’m expecting a serious amount of rain or if I want peace of mind on extended trips and I’m not going fast & light. There is enough height to sit upright and cook. I wish I could’ve fit in the net shelter to keep critters away, but I’m too long at 6’4”/195cm. Review: Great concept, needs improvement - I love this, it's my secondary shelter layer over my bivouac, and it creates protected area to place my gear and cover my bivvie's exit. Occasionally have a hard time setting it up, worry about accidentally tearing it because it's a super thin lightweight material. But, boy, does it EVER keep the heat in a humid environment. I actually consider this a draw back, as it's secondary function is a rain poncho, and well, if it's raining it's probably humid out. I can't imagine this doing much to retain heat in a winter environment. That being said the inside condensated very heavily on my recent over night; but I can't be sure if this was due to the thermal retention, or the mists and rain that night. ## Features - [DUAL-PURPOSE INNOVATION] – The Gatewood Cape is a unique 11 oz hybrid that functions as a full-coverage rain poncho and a complete solo tarp shelter, eliminating the need for a separate tent. - [FEATHERLIGHT PROTECTION] – Weighing only 11 oz (310g), this ultralight tarp shelter is crafted from 15D Silicone Coated Polyester to provide high-tenacity waterproof durability for thru-hikers. - [360-DEGREE COVERAGE] – As a poncho, it provides full coverage for you and your pack. As a shelter, it offers 35 square feet of living space with a protected vestibule for gear storage. - [MICRO-CLIMATE DESIGN] – Features a dual-zipper entry and adjustable pitch height to maximize ventilation and minimize condensation, outperforming traditional backpacking tarps in humidity. - [THRU-HIKER APPROVED] – Specifically engineered for solo hikers on the PCT, AT, or CDT who demand minimalist gear. Easy to set up with a single trekking pole (not included) for rapid deployment. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01CC0I8EK | | Best Sellers Rank | #405,383 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #235 in Camping Tent Tarps | | Brand | Six Moon Designs | | Brand Name | Six Moon Designs | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 53 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00637813988128 | | Included Components | Tarp, Stuff Sack, Guylines | | Item Dimensions L x W | 103.94"L x 44.88"W | | Item Weight | 10.88 ounces | | Manufacturer | Six Moon Designs | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3000G | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited lifetime. | | Material | 15D Silicone Coated Polyester | | Material Type | 15D Silicone Coated Polyester | | Model Number | 3000G | | Number of Items | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Backpacking, Camping, Hiking | | Size | 44.88 inches x 103.94 | | UPC | 637813988128 378139888128 | | Ultraviolet Light Protection | True | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Color:** Gray - **Brand:** Six Moon Designs - **Material:** 15D Silicone Coated Nylon - **Water Resistance Level:** Water Resistant - **Item Weight:** 11 Ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Backpacking, Camping, Hiking - **Included Components:** Tent, Stuff Sacks, Guy Lines, 6 Stakes (sold separately) - **Ultraviolet Light Protection:** True - **UPC:** 637813988128 378139888128 ## Images ![Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape – Gray-11 oz Ultralight Backpacking Tarp & Rain Gear – 360° Protection Backpacking Shelter – 15D Silicone Coated Polyester – Multi-Use Thru-Hiking Camping Shelter (Gray) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dnUISqpKL.jpg) ![Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape – Gray-11 oz Ultralight Backpacking Tarp & Rain Gear – 360° Protection Backpacking Shelter – 15D Silicone Coated Polyester – Multi-Use Thru-Hiking Camping Shelter (Gray) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WgOI0EMVL.jpg) ![Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape – Gray-11 oz Ultralight Backpacking Tarp & Rain Gear – 360° Protection Backpacking Shelter – 15D Silicone Coated Polyester – Multi-Use Thru-Hiking Camping Shelter (Gray) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61y7+cX7lTL.jpg) ![Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape – Gray-11 oz Ultralight Backpacking Tarp & Rain Gear – 360° Protection Backpacking Shelter – 15D Silicone Coated Polyester – Multi-Use Thru-Hiking Camping Shelter (Gray) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kThIRUZML.jpg) ![Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape – Gray-11 oz Ultralight Backpacking Tarp & Rain Gear – 360° Protection Backpacking Shelter – 15D Silicone Coated Polyester – Multi-Use Thru-Hiking Camping Shelter (Gray) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91suVk9YjYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I'm kinda short and round and am worried about the length. How long is the front zipper?** A: Thanks for your question. The tarp is about 45" tall when setup. The zipper runs the full length of the vestibule opening, so that would make the zipper close to 48" long or so. The inside length is 85" and the total width is about 66". Hope this information helps. **Q: How high is and is pole in center of tent or offset to front as appers to be?** A: You'll want to use a 45" tent pole or set your trekking pole to that length. The pole is set, outside on the entrance side of the cape. The cape will be about 45" tall at its peak, when setup. **Q: Seam sealed ?** A: No. None of the SMD shelters or tarps I sell are seam sealed. This is a simple task you can do yourself and it just takes a few minutes. All you'll need is a tube of McNett's Gear Aid Sil Net Silicone Seam Sealer, which you can find elsewhere on Amazon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not dyneema, but super light and adequate coverage when pitched. *by S***O on November 16, 2018* Love it; it lets the air in.
