The Hilleberg Tarp 5 is a minimalist weather shelter for solo hikers who want flexible protection while staying closely connected to the outdoors.
Designed to cover one person with extra space for gear, the Tarp 5 offers a compact and adaptable solution for breaks, cooking areas, or overnight shelter. Its shape makes entry and exit straightforward, and it can be pitched high for maximum airflow or low to the ground for increased protection when conditions turn poor.
Made from Hilleberg’s lightweight yet strong Kerlon 1000 fabric, the Tarp 5 is well suited to three‑season use. It can be set up using trekking poles, paddles, branches or trees, making it easy to adapt to different environments and styles of travel. The tarp can also be paired with a bivy or Mesh Tent 1 to add protection from weather and insects without sacrificing its open feel.
Simple, versatile and easy to integrate into a wide range of camp setups, the Tarp 5 is an ideal choice for those who value low weight, flexibility and practical shelter on warm‑weather adventures.

Understanding the Hilleberg Range
Hilleberg are widely regarded as one of the world's leading tent manufacturers, trusted by everyone from first-time backpackers to experienced mountaineers, expedition teams and outdoor professionals. Designed and developed in Sweden, Hilleberg tents have been used on every continent and have earned a reputation for exceptional reliability, innovative Kerlon fabrics and meticulous attention to detail.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Hilleberg is that the most expensive or strongest tent is automatically the best choice. In reality, every Hilleberg tent is designed for a specific purpose, balancing weight, strength, ventilation and living space to suit different environments and styles of adventure.
For example, while a Black Label tent offers outstanding strength for demanding conditions, it may not be the ideal choice for a lightweight summer trek or an extended trip in warmer climates. Likewise, a lightweight Yellow Label tent is perfect for many adventures but isn't designed for severe winter conditions. Choosing the right Hilleberg is about finding the tent that best matches where you'll go, the weather you'll encounter and how you like to travel.
That's why understanding Hilleberg's colour label system is so important.
Designed for snow-free conditions and warmer climates, Yellow Label tents are Hilleberg's lightest range. They prioritise low weight and excellent ventilation, making them ideal for summer backpacking, bikepacking, long-distance trails and lightweight trekking.
Red Label tents are Hilleberg's versatile all-season range, offering an excellent balance of strength, weight and comfort. For many people, they provide the ideal combination of durability and packability for year-round trekking in a wide variety of conditions.
Black Label tents are Hilleberg's strongest and most robust designs, built for demanding environments, prolonged use and severe weather. They prioritise maximum strength and durability where reliability is critical.
If you're unsure which Hilleberg is right for you, our Hilleberg specialists can help. Rather than recommending the most expensive model, we'll ask about the trips you have planned, the conditions you'll encounter and the features that matter most, helping you choose the tent that's best suited to your adventures.
