Description
The 1P Cirriform SW
When you arrive in camp after a long day, a shelter you don't have to think about makes a difference. The Cirriform SW is built around that. The floor, mesh, and fly are one integrated piece. No inner to clip in or adjust. Just pitch the fly, and you're done.
The SW is back!
The Cirriform SW has been a long time coming. We made an earlier version in Dyneema® composite fabric, and it was one of our favorite shelters we've ever offered. The original design wasn't compatible with silpoly, so when we phased out DCF, the SW got shelved. We're excited to reintroduce the SW with our new silpoly design. It's the same shelter at heart: one integrated piece, simple to pitch, more spacious than the DW.
Dual Entry
The Cirriform has two ways in, and each serves a different purpose. The side entry is the everyday option, easy to get in and out whenever you need to. The front entry is there for when weather moves in, keeping the sleeping area covered while you come and go. Switching between them is as simple as moving a clip.
Two builds, same shelter
The Cirriform SW comes in two builds. The Standard uses a heavier-coated fly (~8000mm HH), 0.6 oz mesh, and a Sil/PU floor (~4000 HH) for better puncture resistance. The Light uses a standard-coated fly (~1800mm HH), a recycled Sil/Sil floor (~2000mm), and 0.5 oz mesh for a lower packaged weight. The only visible difference is the floor color: black for Standard, brown for Light.
Notes/FAQ:
- What about condensation? Condensation can happen with any shelter. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but single-wall shelters are inherently more prone to condensation than double-wall shelters. Two things are going on: without a buffer between you and the fly, the relative humidity of the air in contact with the inside of the fly tends to be slightly higher, which increases the chance of condensation forming. That same lack of buffer also increases the likelihood of inadvertently contacting a wet wall (think of the DW as having an early warning system). The good news is that the Cirriform provides enough vertical distance under the fly that you're unlikely to bump into a wet wall from simply tossing and turning in your sleep, unlike many mid-style or side-entry single-wall shelters. It's also easier to manage condensation with a chamois cloth since you have direct access and can easily wipe down a wet wall. For more tips, see our condensation page.
- What conditions is the SW best suited for? We recommend the SW for three-season type of use. It handles rain and wind well, but we don't recommend pitching it on significantly accumulated snow (a few inches should be fine). The problem with pitching on snow is that if the floor sinks into the snow under your weight, it will pull on the rain fly and risk damage - it ain't no hammock.
- Do I need a groundsheet? Not required. The floor is durable enough that most hikers skip it, but using one on rough ground will extend the floor's life.
- 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.
Fly made in Vietnam. Floor and mesh assembled in Montana.

Pitching
How to pitch
Stake out the corners of the tarp first. Raise the poles at the peaks and stake them out. Tension the lines evenly for a taut pitch. The mesh and floor are built in, so once the fly is set, you're done. It packs and pitches as a single unit.
When zipping up the shelter, THE FLY CLOSED FIRST, then zip the netting to avoid undue stress on the netting zipper.
To open the zipper from the inside, pull the yellow cord to avoid needing to reach into the corner.
The videos below show how to pitch the Tarp and the DW. The pitching process is essentially the same, except you don't have to clip in or adjust the inner.

Off the couch and on the road
Format: Kindle
Even those who are happy in their circumstance may find themselves discontented with the sameness of their days. An adventure will relieve this, and perhaps we can make the adventure happen, and yet the sameness of our days is the very thing that holds us back. But then we read how someone actually did it, had a true adventure to match the best of our daydreams, and we think, I could do that, too!
Beth Jusino’s Camino memoir is for everyone who has ever considered doing something extraordinary, something beyond everyday life. She freely admits her life was sedentary — as couch-bound as you or I — but then the notion of the Camino grew from daydream to impulse, and then became irresistible, and she was fortunate to have a husband who gladly came along.
It’s a book of astonishing quality, the words well-chosen, each page proof of her craft. She engages us not only with her physical ordeal (which is considerable, until she finds better shoes along the way), but also with her wonderment at the things she sees, the people she meets on the way, and we are compelled along, turning each page to see what happens next. Her story is not only rich in anecdote but also in the wealth of reflection on what she sees and hears along the way. Some particular scenes that stay fixed in memory are her encounters with a flock of sheep she meets at just the point when she needs them — a Camino miracle! — and also her descriptions of the great storks in their huge nests on all the church steeples and other high points along the way. Again and again I marked passages in the text so that I may come back and enjoy them once more.
It’s also a love story, and the measure of this is the way we begin to anticipate her moments of particular challenge when her husband will do whatever needs doing or say whatever she needs to hear. It’s his story as well as hers, and she knows this and sets it down, and in so doing, tells us that perhaps she could not have finished her journey without him.
Those who have walked any part of the road to Santiago will relive moments in familiar places and perhaps see what they missed the first time along the way and gain a new insight, a fresh view of what they overlooked before. And they may think, yes, I’ll go again!
But if you’ve never had an adventure and Santiago is no more than the stuff of your daydreams, if you have so far only imagined such an undertaking, if the sameness of your days holds you back, then read this book.
Then go out and do it. But make sure you buy the right shoes.

Walking from La Puy to Finisterre...a well written memoir
Format: Paperback
The key to writing a Camino book--at least from this reader's perspective--it to have a well-written, well-edited, and unique personal account of the adventure. I've read many Camino books that lack these three elements. WTTEOTW has all three elements and is a great addition to anyone's Camino library.
The book is paced nicely and makes for an easy read. I was amused that the author had spent considerable time preparing for this trip yet seemed not to have absorbed some important information prior to the trip--e.g. appropriate footwear, the scramble for nightly accommodations, the frustrations that commonly occur while traveling in unfamiliar cultures. Her adjustments along the way provide humor and insight into preparing for things we've not yet experienced in our own lives.

really enjoyable
Format: Kindle
I'm thinking of doing the French route myself (starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port) and have been inhaling other people's stories of the route, whether blog or book form.
The writing is engaging, and both funny and touching in places. I liked that the author is willing to note her own faults as much of those of others', but noted the strengths of herself and everyone around her as well. And her love for her husband jumped off the page, which I really appreciated!
About halfway through the author's time in Spain I found myself on google maps--a surprising portion of the Camino is available on street view!--and yeah, now I *really* want to go. I'm thinking spring of 2023. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: I read the book and wrote this review in late fall of 2021. It is currently March of 2023. I'm flying to France on April 17th, to start in St. Jean Pied de Port. :D
EDIT, number two: The Camino was awesome, and I will probably do it again in a few years, and it was fun to reread this book after doing the Camino and be able to remember so many of the places she talks about. <3

Well written informative engaging and evocative
Format: Kindle
I've walked to Santiago twice, in 2016 at 65 from St. Jean and in 2019 from Le Puy and bought the book during the pandemic as I waxed nostalgic for the weeks on the road under load with beer bread and bed waiting each afternoon. Beth did a marvelous job of capturing her Camino and much of mine. I can see some of the sights again, the sunrises, the amazing stonework, the clothes drying in the afternoons, the passers by, the cultivated for centuries and still natural landscapes. I almost again feel the foot pain, the rain , the sun, the climbs, the descents, the hot cold on off showers, and the hugs. She helped me again hear the news from Radio Camino, the snoring in the gites and albergues, songs on the road, and the slightly tipsy and slightly loud cafe conversations. I could smell the the morning coffee bowl, the cheeses, the pastries, the animal dropping. And she helped me remember speedy young pilgrims, poor and semi-prosperous middle age Spaniards, paths that were old when followed by Charlemagne, D'Artagnan, and Roman legionnaires, and friends, companions and acquaintancesof all ages and duration. Very well done. Thank you Beth. Buen Camino...

Entertaining and informative
Format: Kindle
Walking the Camino has been on my bucket list for about 10 years and enjoy reading these types of books. Perhaps because of Justino's background, this is by far the most interesting and entertaining Camino story I've read. For me, it is just the right mix of her daily hiking experience along with a little historical background for context. Her subtle, sometimes self-degrading, humor is a bonus. At the end of the book she provided her daily destinations and miles walked along with a packing list which is something I wish more authors would provide. I'm in my 60's now and beginning to doubt if I will ever make the walk but after reading this book I'm still hoping.
