    • 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

    • Fantastic Product!!
Color: Forester Green Size: 20 x 13 ft
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

    • Strong, light weight
Color: Olive Drab Size: 10 x 10 ft
Very light weight. Great quality. I highly recommend it to others. Strong, lots of reinforced loops. I can't give it a five because there are no stakes and it's expensive

    • Quality Pure Quality !

Review Image by 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

Light, durable, easy to roll up, compact. So much easier for one person to spread out than normal poly tarp. I set it up in back yard to test it out as an extended rainfly over a 14x10 cabin tent. Worked great. It extends out farther over the sides and covers an extended "front porch" over the entryway. It stayed in place during 20mph winds with stronger gusts. It withstood the sprinkler test, no leaks. It's expensive but worth it if you camp in the rain. I'm considering a second one to replace the poly tarp I use over the kitchen/picnic table area. ... show more

    • Great Quality, took a beating without any problems.
Color: Forester Green Size: 20 x 13 ft
Just got back from a 9 day camping trip to Cape Breton Island and used this rain fly for the first time for our "mess hall". (20 x 13 size) We had rain pretty much every night and some days of very strong winds. One afternoon when we returned to camp, our whole "mess hall" (including the fly) where blown down and scattered about. We reset it with stronger rigging and didn't have a problem after that! This thing took a beating with no problems whatsoever. The attached loops provide a number of different pitching options, and held up to strong winds. A normal tarp would have definitely torn out some grommets in those winds! Also, no leaks at all, even along the seams. Kept us nice and dry during meal times. Also, packs up smaller and lighter than a typical 2 person backpacking tent. I was very impressed and will probably buy one of the smaller sizes for personal camping use. ... show more

    • This is a top quality product!
This is a top quality product! After having used a very heavy 16mil tarp for camping, this thing is a godsend. It is very light, durable and keeps the water out. We bought this primarily to have as a shade screen and to keep our picnic table dry for camping (car camping that is) and it works perfectly. There are very secure nylon webbing tabs all around the perimeter and one in the center. There are no grommets to tear out. It also comes with these very nice nylon straps that are "Y"-shaped with a buckle in the center and several good stakes. This allows two points to secure a single tab. With all the nylon tabs and straps, this tarp can be set up in a multitude of configurations. With some paracord for a ridgeline or two and some Prusik knots from #36 tarred twine I've had this set up beautifully several times now. ... show more
