Key Features
- Waterproof & UV Protection: Constructed from 210T ripstop polyester fabric with a 2500 PU waterproof rating, this tarp provides dependable resistance against rain and moisture. The material is also treated to block harmful ultraviolet rays, offering essential sun protection for your skin during extended outdoor exposure. Enhanced tear and puncture resistance ensures long-term durability, even in rough terrain.
- Strong & Stable Construction: Utilizing a heat sealing and melting process, the seams are tightly bonded to prevent water penetration, even in sustained downpours. The reinforced ridgeline seam adds structural integrity, preventing connectors from loosening or failing under tension. This makes the tarp highly reliable in stormy or high-wind conditions, maintaining stability when you need it most.
- Heavy Duty Yet Portable: When fully expanded, the tarp measures 118″ × 126″, providing ample coverage for two people. Despite its robust build, it folds down compactly into the included lightweight stuff sack, making it easy to carry in a backpack. Weighing 1.2kg (42oz), it strikes a balance between strength and portability—ideal for extended trips where gear weight matters but performance cannot be compromised.
- Complete Accessories & Easy Setup: The package includes everything needed for immediate use: one hammock rain fly, four nylon guy lines with built-in tensioners for secure anchoring, and one stuff sack for storage and transport. Featuring 19 guy points and 5 reinforced grommet points, the rectangular design allows for flexible configurations—whether pitched as a ground sheet, overhead shelter, or hammock cover. Setup is straightforward, enabling quick protection from wind, rain, or sun.
- Outstanding Quality & Versatility: Designed for heavy-duty use, this tarp is suitable for a wide range of activities including camping, backpacking, hiking, hunting, fishing, tactical operations, and military applications. Its rugged build and reliable performance make it a trusted companion for outdoor professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Its compatibility with hammocks and standard camping setups ensures seamless integration into your existing gear system.
Important Notes
While the tarp is built for heavy-duty use, proper setup and anchoring are essential for optimal performance in high winds or prolonged storms. Always inspect guy lines and grommets before use, and avoid dragging the tarp over sharp or abrasive surfaces to maintain fabric integrity. The included stuff sack is designed for compact storage but should be kept dry when not in use to prevent mildew. This product is intended for outdoor use only and should not be used as a groundsheet under tents with sewn-in floors unless specified compatible. Package includes all listed accessories; no additional hardware is required for basic setup.
