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

Amazing, excellent all around tarp. Burly, versatile, weatherproof, functional, nice camo, well thought out. The only thing is, its slightly heavy but that is too be expected with its abilities and more on me as a ounce counter.

Aqua Quest I hope you read this review, ok I have had this tarp now for about 1 yr now and its the 15x15 version in camo, and and I have really put this thing to the test. I am pleased but not pleased with its design, it could be way better if it had a redesign. This thing is heavy, and I mean heavy, almost 17lbs heavy, this is not a tarp to put in your pack, it will have to be carried on the outside of your pack tied or buckled in place on top or under your pack. This thing is thick and takes up a lot of space. This tarp is not good in high winds, I have set this tarp up in multiple configurations and each time the wind ripped it off the loops and, out of the ground and it started flapping around. it is great that it is water proof and has a rubberized back on it, I love that its completely water proof, its just not great during the winter when set up as a tent gets bad condensation. so this is how I would fix thisese issues: 1. The sewn in tie out loops are to big and have a huge loop, make them smaller and add more of them around the tarp. there is not enough tie outs on the 15x15 tarp. there are simply not enough tie outs on this tarp to be of use. there needs to be extra tie outs all the way across the tarp at each tie out location starting from the edge going all the way across the tarp at even intervals. there should be a minimum of 7 tie outs on each side and 7 across the tarp at each location starting from one edge going to the other edge, right now there are only 5 tie outs on each side not near enough to be useful. 2. the flimsy small tent style pegs sent with it bend super easy and immediately need to be upgraded to something thicker, I would recommend you go buy some of those huge nails about finger to thumb thickness from home depot they work best. 3. this tarp does not come with tie out guy lines so you will have to buy your own Aqua Quest if you read this please add guy ties with this tarp at a minimum of 14 guy ties. 4. it is water resistant, but when formed into a tent shape or used above the ground as a tent style setup, it gets super bad condensation during the winter or summer. it does not breathe which is fine but wow crazy condensation, not even sure that can be fixed. 5. Weight this thing is massively heavy, this thing weighs about 17 lbs its not light, it is good if you go car camping or hammock camping, but not used in a backpack while out hiking. 6. the stuff sack: this thing is super hard to go back on the tarp when it is folded back up and correctly rolled up, the stuff sack needs to be a little bit bigger around, its a pain to put the tarp in and take out of because of how tight it is. I had to get my dad to help me, he had to hold the tarp while I yanked on the stuff sack to get it out on the first use, never mind trying to get it back in that was even a bigger pain then taking it out. granted its good and water proof like the tarp, but its just too small and needs to be a bit bigger around to get the tarp in and out of. thanks for reading, Red Fox Outdoors

We got caught in 2 days of rain while camping. Not only did it pour out for several hours, but it was very windy too. No leaks, no tears...zero problems. We will be buying a second one next!

I ordered a 15× 15 recieved a 13/7 by 13/7...whats up with that I dont think its going to stretch 17 inches

Great sealed seams and reinforced stress points - ideal for making shelters in a number of different configurations. Yes - it is waterproof - which is the most important thing.

love this survival shelter will be getting another one thanks

Been using nylon coated tarps for years and this one is by far the best in design and durability. Numerous tie downs throughout and the beefed up corners make this tarp the best Ive used yet.

So many ways to set it up. Super light and compact. Waterproof. Durable. Perfect.

Never use it yet but it will work as intended.

Great product, as advertised. Im camping now, its raining, no issues and I like the way it looks. Well made.
