Reviews overview
This is what customers from around the world say:
I've used the tarp for the last few years and have been very happy with it. It's very light and packs down small so you barely notice it in your pack.
It's lightweight packable and versatile with the usual advantages of a tarp.
Due to the size of the tarp I have found that it can be a bit small when pitched in an a frame and would only fit one person. In nicer weather it's easy to pitch elevated off the floor or in a different set up to give a lot more room so as a solo shelter I've found it very versatile in loads of different weather conditions
It's also fairly durable and I haven't had any major issues. A part of the edge (where the material is doubled over) did come away slightly although I'm not sure what caused it. I was able to stitch it up easily and haven't had any issues since. It feels really lightweight and initially I was worried about how it would hold up in a strong wind but it was bomber. Flappy as you'd expect from a tarp but there was no sign of anything giving up. Despite the issue I had I would still say that the tarp is quite versatile especially considering the weight of it.
