Product Reviews and Questions
Not my first tarp...
The size and design of this tarp is quite different than previous tarps I have used, and why i bought it. I love the size and the number of tie-outs, however, I do not like the sewn in tensioners. If you want to do any other setup than what you last used, you must either unthread the ridge length lines and rethread to where you want them OR make all the lines really long. I personally prefer beasty-D tieouts and simply larks head and truckers hitch for faster swapping. I also dont care for the precut lines it came with, the 4' sides and 6' ridge lines were too short at the ridge for versitile setups and the sides were too long for most setups (except hammocks). If your only setup want is A frame based, then you are good to go out of the box! I would prefer no lines with the tarp and drop the price. Overall, this tarp is still worth the price and changing out or the lines is not a big deal. In my picture I have already changed out the ridgeline. In that configuration, it will easily sleep two tall people and all thier gear with tons of storm coverage.
P.S. the reinforcement added for the Echo insert is perfect for the setup pictured.
Great product
Love it
Perfect tarp
Thoughtful features. Efficient. Super easy to set up. And fantastically light!!!
Lightening up.
Wanted to cut some weight in my pack by stop carrying a tent. But hiking in the PNW without one is a great way to spend a wet night.
Enter the Flat Tarp. Weighs a pound (2.5 lbs less than my tent), and keeps me dry in all but the worst storms.
Doesn’t take up much space in my pack either. Love it.
Bomber tarp
Well made! Very happy with purchase.
