Rescue Tarps

We believe every backcountry ski group should carry a rescue tarp.

For more than 15 years, Alpine Threadworks Rescue Tarps have provided emergency shelter, patient packaging and evacuation capability in a piece of equipment designed for mountain travel.

The Rescue Tarp family has three members, each built around a different priority:

Rescue Tarp SL — 385 g
Obsessively stripped down to its lightest, simplest form while retaining the core rescue function. Designed for backcountry skiers who prioritize minimum weight and packed size.

Rescue Tarp Classic — 654 g
The original Alpine Threadworks Rescue Tarp. The middle ground between weight and capacity, with a larger emergency shelter and more room for additional patient-packaging equipment.

Industrial Rescue Tarp — ~2,000 g
Built for professional SAR teams, ski patrol, heli/cat operations and other environments where repeated use and maximum durability matter more than weight.

Choose the tarp that fits how you travel.
