Description
*Poles and pegs are not included and are sold separately.
The Snow Peak HD Tarp "Shield" Mawe redefines conventional tarp design with an innovative asymmetric structure that prioritises both comfort and usability. Unlike traditional flat tarps, the Mawe places the highest clearance along natural walking paths while keeping the central living area lower and more protected. This unique architecture creates a spacious, efficient shelter that maximises usable space beneath the tarp while enhancing weather performance.
Designed around a three-pole configuration using 240cm poles, the Mawe L creates an expansive covered area suitable for family camping, group gatherings, and extended outdoor living. During rain, the tarp's distinctive shape directs water away from the main living area and channels runoff toward the outer corners, helping keep the central space drier and more comfortable.
Constructed from Snow Peak's premium HD Shield fabric with blackout pigment coating, the Mawe L delivers exceptional sun protection, weather resistance, and durability while maintaining a surprisingly lightweight packed weight of just 4.4kg. It comfortably accommodates up to six people, making it an ideal centrepiece for family campsites and group basecamps.
Key Features
Innovative Multi-Level Shelter Design
Unlike conventional tarps, the Mawe features elevated walking zones and a lower central living area, creating a more practical and comfortable shelter layout.
Superior Rain Management
The unique geometry channels rainwater toward the three outer corners furthest from the main living area, helping maintain a drier and more usable space during wet weather.
Large Covered Living Area
Designed to comfortably shelter up to six people, making it ideal for family camping, social gatherings, and outdoor dining.
HD Shield Blackout Fabric
The blackout pigment coating helps reduce heat buildup and blocks harsh sunlight, creating a cooler and more comfortable environment beneath the tarp.
Premium Weather Protection
Features a PU-coated polyester fabric with a minimum waterproof rating of 3,000mm, Teflon water-repellent treatment, and UV protection processing.
Efficient Three-Pole Configuration
Engineered to be pitched using three 240cm poles, creating excellent headroom and an expansive covered footprint while maintaining stability.
Integrated Lantern Loop
Includes a central lantern loop compatible with Snow Peak Hozuki series LED lanterns for convenient campsite lighting.
