Description
This is a brand new MLD with Inner Net setup. I purchased it in May 2016. I did set it up outside to see what it looks like and its been in storage ever since, never been used for camping.This is a great tarp tent with well known reputation. I regret selling it but need the $$$.
13oz Silnylon Floor
• Curved zipper is on the larger right side of the center pole. A single curved zipper is lighter and easier to open/close than other multiple zip configurations. The front mesh panel is assymentrical and the zip is on the larger side of the panel. You would not want to crawl in/out on the smaller side anyway!
• Asymmetrical shape allows lots of room at one end to store and sort gear inside.
• Two rear net seam tieouts points.
• The best fit and overall best weather protection is achieved when the TrailStar is pitched at a medium height in the most popular side door set up. In this setup the center pole will be about 125-140cm and the front door pole will be about 110-125cm. All pictures on this page show this setup.
• Corner Struts
• Internal Small Mesh Gear Pocket
• Fits all regular length sleep pads.
• Packed Size: 5" Diameter X 10" LongFAQs
• Allow time for set up practice. After all the lines are set and you have made a few good practice pitches, you should be able to set up the TrailStar and InnerNet in the field in 5-6min.
• Set up the TrailStar first then clipping in the InnerNet and setting stakes can be done from under the TrailStar and out of the weather.
• It does not fit the LittleStar. LittleStar users will want to use a SuperLight Bivy or Bug Bivy.
• We do not offer a DuoSize TrailStar InnerNet at this time.

A True MLD Original Innovation in UltraLight Shelter Design. Patent Pending and TradeMarked 2005.TGO MAGAZINE BEST SHELTER AWARD WINNERThe original shaped tarp with five equal low angle sides and no doors. Combines the high performance of a traditional pyramid shelter with open multi-function pitching options of a tarp. No zippers, flaps or vents to wear out or fail18 oz Pro Silnylon Gray
7' / 2.1m long panel edges
45"-50" / 115-130cm Tall - Varies with Pitch Height.
65+sqft / 6+sqmColin Ibbotson“This is the lightest, largest, most storm-proof sub 1kg shelter I have ever used or seen, and quite possibly on the planet. Stability is so good that I cannot think of any other shelter even at up to three times its weight that could match it” -Colin IbbotsonFast Setup - No Doors, Zippers or Moving PartsBOMBER ALPINE WIND PROTECTION COMPARED TO A TARPFive equal size panels blend shelter protection with tarp pitching ease and multiple shape options.The 7' / 2.1m long baseline on each of the five equal sides create a very large pentagon floor plan living space for up to three people plus gear and up to five in a short storm huddle.• Pitches with one standard or short length adjustable trekking pole in the center. A found stick works great too.
• 65+ sq/ft of useable floor space. Lots of room for two hikers plus all gear. Three in a squeeze.
• TEN Perimeter Tieouts All with LineLocks- One at each primary corner and one centered on each side at the edge. Linelocks can be removed to save 1.2oz.
• Can be pitched tight to the ground for maximum full sided protection or higher for views, easy entry and great ventilation. Most of the time one side or corner will be pitched off the ground as a door and the center height will be about 45-50"
• Awesome shelter for hikers with dogs.
• Roof angle is moderate for great wind shedding and light snow loads.
• Super shelter for day hikers and ski groups for lunch stops and emergencies. Eight people can sit inside and at least four can lie tight together if needed.
• Gear hang loops mid position on each of the five seams to rig hang lines or clips up bivy hoods.
• Roof Apex is reinforced and has an outisde guyline loop and inside has a gear hang loop.
• No zippers, flaps, vents or other parts to wear or fail.
• Only five straight easy seams to seam seal.Cuben Fiber Vs Pro Silnylon TrailStar:
• The Cuben version is stronger than the Silnylon version because the Cuben Fiber .75oz fabric is 6X stronger than Silnylon fabric and the tieouts pull test to higher strengths. We bond and then additionally over-bond the seams. We reinforce and then double bartack through 6 or more layers of the Cuben or Silnylon at main corners. We have been building and bonding cuben tarps/shelters longer than any company. -The Pro Silnylon version is very strong and has been well tested all over the world and has never failed in the field. Both are strong enough for a very wide range of environments and this question should not be a prime consideration for selection.
• The Cuben version is lighter but costs more.
• The Cuben fabric stretches less and that is both a small plus and a small minus in different ways. The lower stretch of the Cuben version requires a little more precision in staking and the orientation/geometry of the panels. A tight pitch is set it will stay tight when wet.
• The Cuben version can not be pitched in some of the more extreme configurations vs the SilNylon using a very steep wall or door angles. The Cuben version works best at more moderate angles and a flatter and lower pitch. For snow loading this would make the Cuben version a bit less desirable.
• SilNylon is very slippery and snow will slide off a little better than with Cuben Fiber. If using the Cuben version in light to med snow, you may need to shake it off about 20% more often. Frequent winter users that expect more snow will prefer the Pro SilNylon version and will want to pitch it with steeper walls. However- neither version is intended as a full-on winter snow shelter- We make DuoMids and SuperMids for that!Choice Summary:
• The functional differences will not be very significant for 90% of users 90% of the time.
• If you prefer a slightly quicker learning curve, and sometimes easier pitching and/or bit wider range of configurations and/or you will experience more snow on frequent trips then the SilNylon version might be better for you. We highly encourage users to test pitch either version in nice weather in your yard a few times to discover the many pitch options and gain set-up speed. (Interestingly- we have had fewer questions about pitching the TS vs regular Pyramids...go figure.)
• For most users it will simply be a weight vs cost choice.
