AquaQuest Guide Tarp – Ultralight Waterproof (5,000 mm) Seam-Taped 40D Ripstop Rain Fly for Backpacking, Stealth Camping & Thru-Hiking

I love this thing even though it's pricey it's worth every penny. I watched a youtuber - The Outdoor Gear Review who has never let me down, very honest reviews with no connections to the companies. This thing is boss, I set it up on my back deck and waited for rain, first thunderstorm I was there and the way the water rolled off this thing is mind boggling, so cool. I used Cam Jams to tighten the paracord and two of the Green Elephant tarp poles which are awesome also bought on the suggestion of TOGR. I got the 10x13 and the forest green is perfect. Right now I have no negatives for this tarp. I haven't tried to pack it up yet so that might be the only thing but even that wouldn't stop me from getting this. OH YEAH ONE MORE THING IT MAKES A GREAT WATER COLLECTOR FOR IF THE SHTF. I HAD THE WATER FLOWING INTO A 10 GALLON TUB AND IT FILLED UP FAST, NICE CLEAN WATER.

Actually it is very easy to Sum up a review-“AQUAQUEST “! This purchase of a Guide10 X10 Ultralight tarp was my first purchase of an “ultra light” for the trail. It was my 5th purchase overall of Aquaquest Tarps. ALL THE AQUAQUEST PRODUCTS ARE 100% Reliable. You can use them for any number of set up methods. Whether it’s a “Plow Point “, an “A Frame”, a “Lean To”, or with a “Ridgeline”, AquaQuest has got you, your family, and your gear covered! They’re the best, then again they have to be, I’m potentially betting my life on them for protection for me and my family!

I bought this tarp to use for camping instead of a tent. The 10x7 tarp was perfect for an A-line set up for me (I’m 5’6”) in a mummy bag (with a rain poncho for a ground cloth). The tarp is lightweight, but sturdy. Even in the rain and wind, this tarp held up well. It is thin, flexible, and lightweight so it packs down well for your backpack. I particularly liked the loops rather than grommeted holes or clips. This keeps everything lightweight with no metal except my stakes. High quality and well worth the money. As a paleontologist and a BSA Scoutmaster, I do a lot of sleeping outdoors. I’m looking forward to using this for years to come.

I’ve now used this tarp in windy and fairly rainy conditions with no issues whatsoever. I wanted a tarp that was fairly light with a good warranty, great reputation, and I was willing to pay the price for it.The only downside is the ridiculous small stuff sack it comes in. You will never get it back in there again.

Bought the 10x10, and I'm happy with it. The tie-outs are strong, and the tent is quite durable and waterproof. The packed weight is just over a pound with some cordage for a pre-made ridgeline. The material does not stretch or sag, and is very easy to get enough tension for a sturdy, wind-proof shelter.

I have the 10x13 originally and enjoyed its durability and functional quality that I bought a 10x10 for hunting and hiking.

This is my second tarp from Aqua Quest. The first one was just a little smaller. Love them both but the 10X10 gives me more flexibility.Great quality product!

Works as advertised, would buy again.
