Hotcore | Wingman Tarps

The Ultimate Backcountry Multi-Tool

In the Maritimes, the weather doesn’t ask for permission—it just happens. Whether you’re sheltering from a sudden Bay of Fundy mist or creating a shaded "living room" for a beach campsite, the Hotcore Wingman Tarp is the piece of gear that saves the trip. Built from rugged 75D ripstop polyester these tarps are designed to take a beating from both the rain and the sun.

Unlike basic flat tarps that sag and flap in the wind, the Wingman features a 6-point catenary cut. This specialized curve allows you to achieve a drum-tight pitch that sheds wind and water effortlessly. We’ve also added an extra UV protection coating to ensure the fabric doesn't degrade during those long, sunny basecamp stays. From the compact Medium (perfect for hammock campers) to the massive Extra Large (which can cover a whole group kitchen with a center pole), the Wingman is the versatile "insurance policy" every hiker should have in their pack.

Key Features
