Now lighter than the original River Wing! Create a 190-sq. ft. shady, dry oasis with your NRS River Wing. On the river, at a campground or a backyard get-together, the 70 x 210 denier rip stop nylon fabric and factory-taped seams will withstand years of exposure to the elements. The heavy-duty button-lock aluminum pole sections let you adjust shelter height from 6' up to 10'. Comes with heavy-gauge tie-down cords with tension adjusters, 6 steel tent stakes and 6 plastic sand stakes. Transportation is easy with a nylon carry bag and internal accessory bags. Note to Cat and Raft rowers: Oars will fit and work great as poles (see the alternate image).

Very Durable
I ordered the Blue wing from Altrec. I was shipped the current Gray Wing from NRS which was what I had hoped. The Grey model also comes with the orange lines for better visibility. I tested this wing this past weekend on the Green river just above the takeout for Desolation Canyon in Utah. This Wing withstood wind gusts above 30 mph. I couldn't use the included stakes as anchors as they wouldn't hold. With permanent anchors (embedded rocks)this wing was impressive. I ended up taking it down because everything under it was being blown away. The Wing suffered no damage. The material is very thin and lite but very strong. The corners are reinforced very well. There is a grommet in each corner for the tips of the included poles and a loop for oar handles. I was a little reluctant to spend this much money on a "tarp" but I'm very pleased that I did. I think I'll get many good years service out of this. I'll need to find some better stakes to complete the package. Nice bag for the Wing, stakes and poles also.
