    • Strong and sturdy
Color: Olive Drab Size: 13 x 10 ft
Very satisfied. Very strong and sturdy material with many sewed and reinforced straps for tie points. Performed great. Has great waterproof repellent material. Held up great in strong winds.

    • The best!
Color: Forester Green Size: 10 x 10 ft
These are really the best nylon camping tarps on the market. I bought a cheaper one offered on Amazon that looked very similar for less than half the price of this, but under rainy conditions in the redwoods, it leaked and dripped through the fabric. This one offered by AquaQuest, did not leak on the same trip under the same conditions. Also, unlike typical grommets in the corners that tear loose on many cheaper tarps, the grommets in the sewn-in straps on these provide a very strong tie-down system. The grommet in the center of the tarp is also a good idea that you won't see in many other camping tarps. Way-to-go, AquaQuest! ... 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.

    • Very well-made, but on the pricey side.
Color: Olive Drab Size: 13 x 10 ft
I’ve now used this tarp in windy and fairly rainy conditions with no issues whatsoever. I wanted a tarp that was fairly light with a good warranty, great reputation, and I was willing to pay the price for it. The only downside is the ridiculous small stuff sack it comes in. You will never get it back in there again. ... 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.

Exactly as expected. Lightweight, watertight, and durable. Plenty of loops.

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
