Hammock Gear Cuben Fiber Tarp Review

The durability of the tarp is great and after five days of rain and hail on a recent trip without getting wet i m really impressed.

Hammock gear cuben fiber tarp review.

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. At 5ozs sq yard it is very light and the finished tarp comes in at 5 2 ounces. Everything is well made on this tarp.

Recent reviews seem to have put those concerns to rest. I would recommend the standard dyneema cuben fiber tarp with doors. This tarp is made of ct1k 08 cuben fiber. Hammock gear cuben fiber tarp with doors.

The color of this tarp is a bit greener than it appears here but it is still quite transparent. I like having a hammock tarp with doors at the ends because they provide more wind and weather protection. 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. Early reviewers of cuben fiber questioned it s durability over the long term.

Mine weighs 6 63ozs with all guy lines and a pair of dutchware tarp flyz. 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. This is one piece of gear that will never leave my pack.

This ultralight tarp will keep you warm and dry in just about any condition. To me the higher price is worth the weight to save every ounce.
