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

super nice quality, it did well during heavy rain. A few small features I wish would have been included are D rings at the strap ends, and loops at the outside surface to open up some space inside.

Good waterproof tarp with multiple tie off points

Just received mine and had a chance to use it in a little rain storm. I love that it is soft, quiet and strong. I find the loops running in the center of the tarp allow me to easily hang it and create more configurations particularly pulling it up or out to create slants for the rainfall. I love this tarp so much, I bought two more in different colors and sizes. I appreciate that it is made in USA. There are more sizes on their website and the cost is the same as Amazon with free shipping.

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.

Im used to tarps with only one layer of nylon, and the double layer with all the reenforcement is nice to see. Durable and sturdy.

Had a few pin holes in it upon arrival. Still doesnt leak. Gets the job done.

This piece of kit will be the most valuable to you in all circumstances.

I use this tarp as a secondary shelter when I camp here in the Pacific Northwest. I typically set it up with a ten-foot pole in a plow configuration. You can stake it down very tight and theres virtually no wear on the stake loops. Ive had it partially over my fire several times, and theres not a single hole from a spark on it. Its great for protection from wind, sun, and rain. I only wish it were a little more compact and light. It is certainly more compact and light than a canvas tarp, or even the cheap ones you buy at Walmart, but I was expecting it to be a little lighter.

I used the tarp camping. I love how the tarp is very well made and very water proof. I make the tarp into a tent and have never been disappointed in how it has performed.

I used some Telescoping Tarp Poles (Garden V Pro) and Heavy Duty Suction Cups (Conbola) to add a canopy to the side door of the car when it rains during camping. The canvas worked great for this. It shielded my Oceanstar FM1163 Bamboo Bath Mat so I could leave my muddy shoes outside.
