Defender Square Tarp - Waterproof, Durable and Versatile Nylon Tarp Tent Shelter, 10 by 10 ft, True Terrain Camo

Man this thing is heavy duty, doesnt break the bank, and worked well for a couple weeks in the field. IMO, this tarp is perfectly suited to trust and use in the field - it is a little heavier than some may want to backpack with, but if your bushcrafting or car camping its a go to.

Best Tarp I’ve Ever Owned! It’s tough and doesn’t tear under pressure

Bought this last minute before a two week overloading trip. Have used it several times for week long excursions since then. Have been impressed with the ruggedness, waterproofing, & versatility of this tarp. Its been thru several hour long downpours & storms that were downright scary to be out camping in. Have pitched it tight enough to worry about ripping out the loops w/ 50 MPH gusts in sideways rain for hours & hours during the night, but its held up awesome w/ ZERO damage! Besides being a bit dirty from heavy use, its still like new & would look brand new if I cleaned it up. For the price, I was expecting a few uses & tossing it out once it started failing, where I was going to buy a Name Brand tarp to replace it; Ill actually be buying a larger one of these for winter camping this coming Christmas & New Years.

This tarp is lightweight and waterproof. Which were my prerequisites for a tarp. Its big enough for both my wife and I to sleep under with all our gear. We slept under this tarp with a fire right next to it for many weekends. Never had a problem with rain getting through. Or with the fire damaging the tarp as people seem to be concerned about. This is definitely a tarp I would recommend for durability and light weight portability.

Came as advertised except in the images the Camo pattern looks as if it is three shades of green and the base is a light color when in actuality it is more of a blue & green. Otherwise the tarp is what I wanted. As for water resistance: there was a heavy thunderstorms (lots of wind and heavy rain for 6+ hours) the first night I used it and had zero issues.

If there is ANY chance of rain this bad boy is going on the BikePack trip with me. Its well worth the added bulk and weight. BURRRRRLY as all get out. My 10x13 has already put up with some SERIOUS windage shrugging it off without a shudder. LOTS of tie-offs. Incredible quality. Incredible water resistance rating. Best out there.

Came with flaws from the factory. I reached out after first use (this week) and sent them a picture. They said this happens sometimes, theyre aware of it, and I shouldnt worry! Thats it... I am shocked they know of a production issue (which I suppose is not frequent?) but choose to tell people who receive such a piece to just enjoy it (what I was told).... other than that, it is the most amazing tarp Ive seen. Just disappointed in their response to a flawed product. I guess its like when you get a TV with so many bad pixels - they tell you to live with it.

If youve ever used shelter tarps then you know they will either last or they wont. I can say without reservation that this is an extremely tough & durable tarp with the right amount of added sewn straps. Slightly heavy if backpacking but worth the extra weight, IMO.

Tarp seems well made & sturdy. Have used a few times & am very impressed. Highly recommended.

Nothing more to say, and the last tarp I’ll buy for camping. The quality and durability is beyond expectations.
