Description
The Cirriform, available with your choice of inner
This double-wall (DW) system pairs the 1P Cirriform with your choice of the 1P Bug Shelter or Y-zip Bug Bivy.
Buying the system saves you money compared to buying the components separately. You'll also get an extra stuff sack big enough to fit both items, and we'll pre-install all the rigging for you.
NOTE: Closeout Cirriforms are available here. They had too much coating applied and are heavier than stock.

It's not about chasing the lowest weight; it's about making thoughtful choices that enhance performance, stability, and ease of use.

- Inner face coating: Silicone-based

Required items (not included):
The items needed to pitch your shelter will vary depending on your approach.
- Front Pole: About 44" - 45" (~111 - 114 cm) when pairing with the Bug Shelter or 39" - 42" (~99 - 107cm) when pairing with the Bivy
- Rear Pole: At least 31" (~79cm) when pairing with the Bug Shelter or at least 26" (~66cm) when pairing with the Bivy
- Stakes: 6 (8 for better wind stability)
- Rigging: If you plan to pitch the inner on its own (not under the Cirriform), you will need additional guyline or our Stand-alone rigging kit. If using tent poles or trekking poles without baskets, you may also need two of our guyline grommets (not needed with stand-alone kit).
Notes/FAQ:
- Do I need a groundsheet? A groundsheet is not required, but using one will help extend the life of any floor.
- Do I need to seal the seams? Tarp seams should be sealed using a sealer for silicone coated fabrics (we recommend Seam Grip +SIL by Gear Aid). Optional seam sealing service available. Floor seams are factory-taped and don't require sealing.
- Color of the large stuff sack may not match color of shelter.
Pitching
How to pitch
Start by staking out the corners of the tarp to establish your base. Raise the poles at the peaks and stake them to form the shelter's shape. Adjust and tension the lines evenly for a tight, balanced pitch. Once the outer is secure, attach the inner by clipping the corners and apexes to the tarp. When breaking camp, leave the inner and outer connected so your shelter is ready for a quick, seamless setup next time.
