Hammock Gear Cuben Tarp Review

I used sil nylon snake skins in the past but i think this will help to shed some water off of the tarp better and it is way lighter.

Hammock gear cuben tarp review.

Mine weighs 6 63ozs with all guy lines and a pair of dutchware tarp flyz. I understand that this was meant for hammocking so the tieout points are more geared towards that but its also a very effective ground shelter with a few minor mods. Shop this tarp here. All of hammock gear s tarps are made with pride in the usa.

Though it would be nice to have some customization options with it such as linelocs on the 4 corners. All the hardware is nice quality gear. Doors can reduce the amount of colder air flowing over under and around you. It can even be used to go to ground if someone steals all the tress from your campsite.

The color of this tarp is a bit greener than it appears here but it is still quite transparent. This tarp is made of ct1k 08 cuben fiber. Choose from high performance materials such as dyneema fiber also known as cuben fiber or silicone impregnated polyester also known as sil poly. Deals on cuben fiber items are rare but hammock gear works with customers to find the a setup at the best price.

Everything is well made on this tarp. This ultralight tarp will keep you warm and dry in just about any condition. This one piece mesh tarp sleeve is perfect for the 12 foot quest tarp it holds the tarp up and out of the way when setting up in nice conditions and the tarp goes back in nice and slick. I already had a gear sleeve from hg it is a great way to make set up and take down fast and easy with this tarp.

I like having a hammock tarp with doors at the ends because they provide more wind and weather protection. To me the higher price is worth the weight to save every ounce. At 5ozs sq yard it is very light and the finished tarp comes in at 5 2 ounces. Be on the lookout for deals through hammock gear they ve been known to work with thru hikers in the past.

Our ultralight tarps are designed to weigh less and outlast the trials of both mother nature and father time. All in all its a very well made and superlight piece of kit that im very happy with. Overall i am very happy with my purchase and it was well worth the wait while i saved up for it. Early reviewers of cuben fiber questioned it s durability over the long term.
