    • Sturdy, lightweight tarp
Color: Olive Drab Size: 10 x 7 ft
I bought this tarp to use for camping instead of a tent. The 10x7 tarp was perfect for an A-line set up for me (I’m 5’6”) in a mummy bag (with a rain poncho for a ground cloth). The tarp is lightweight, but sturdy. Even in the rain and wind, this tarp held up well. It is thin, flexible, and lightweight so it packs down well for your backpack. I particularly liked the loops rather than grommeted holes or clips. This keeps everything lightweight with no metal except my stakes. High quality and well worth the money. As a paleontologist and a BSA Scoutmaster, I do a lot of sleeping outdoors. I’m looking forward to using this for years to come. ... show more

    • Great camp tarp
Color: Olive Drab Size: 10 x 10 ft
This is a very nice lite tarp I purchased the 10’ x10’ in like ranger green color. The tarp is very good quality and has I think 17 tie down points which are sown into the sides a center of tarp. Can be set up easily in different ways. Sheds the rain off very good.

    • its a bit pricey
Good tarp. Almost feels too thin to me, i worry about damaging it. So far no damage, seems sturdy. It is rather expensive for its size compared to other tarps i looked at, but it is a good bit lighter. I cant seems to justify the weight savings for the cost though over all, not recommended, better options for just a little more weight. ... show more

    • Lightweight - great size - durable
Color: Olive Drab Size: 13 x 10 ft
Lightweight option that comes in various sizes depending on your needs. Used one for 12 days during a backpacking trip for rain protection and sun protection - also had to take shelter under it once on the trail as we got hit by a 30-minute hailstorm, the fly did not even blink at it.

    • Fantastic Product!!
I bought this tarp for a backyard party when Mother Nature threatened (& delivered!!) a rainy forecast. The tarp arrived on time and was neatly packaged in a stuff sack about the size of a pair of men's shoes. I am a former Outward Bound Instructor so I know a good outdoor product when I see one and this tarp met and exceeded my expectations! It is super lightweight, so despite its size, it was easy for me to put up by myself. And despite the light-weight fabric, it didn't let a drop of rain come through, even though some rain pooled in one area overnight. I used lightweight ropes, secured them using the multiple tie out loops. The prolific tie-outs made it easy to secure the tarp to various anchor spots around our patio. I used a combination of easy half-hitches, bowlines and trucker hitches. We were totally dry and everyone in attendance was really impressed by this product. It worked out perfectly and gave us the use of our lovely patio in the rain. I thought this product was a little expensive, and you can certainly find cheaper tarps, but this one is light-weight enough to take backpacking and use on the trail. I would definitely buy this again, & just might buy a second one!! ... show more

    • Fantastic tarp with a lifetime warranty
Color: Olive Drab Size: 10 x 7 ft
This tarp is relatively lightweight, quite durable, very waterproof and has generous tie outs. It's not the most inexpensive, but you definitely get good value for money. Aquaquest has a lifetime warranty on this which I've not heard of with other manufacturers. I own both a 10x10 and a 10x7 guide tarp. I'm very pleased with my purchases. They have other models of tarps that are more heavy duty should that be required. ... show more

Review Image by Bill Stiles Bill Stiles
I love this thing even though it's pricey it's worth every penny. I watched a youtuber - The Outdoor Gear Review who has never let me down, very honest reviews with no connections to the companies. This thing is boss, I set it up on my back deck and waited for rain, first thunderstorm I was there and the way the water rolled off this thing is mind boggling, so cool. I used Cam Jams to tighten the paracord and two of the Green Elephant tarp poles which are awesome also bought on the suggestion of TOGR. I got the 10x13 and the forest green is perfect. Right now I have no negatives for this tarp. I haven't tried to pack it up yet so that might be the only thing but even that wouldn't stop me from getting this. OH YEAH ONE MORE THING IT MAKES A GREAT WATER COLLECTOR FOR IF THE SHTF. I HAD THE WATER FLOWING INTO A 10 GALLON TUB AND IT FILLED UP FAST, NICE CLEAN WATER. ... show more
