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

True ... its a bit heavier than a light-weight BASHA. Thats not a bad thing. This is double layered, larger and made with some seriously weapons grade durability ! Easily, one of be best pieces of equipment I own. Again, its a bit heavy (by a few ounces) so if youre a hiker and carrying it for miles, opt for a British SAS BASHA instead. If, however, youre a BushCrafter, Rough Camper or dealing with Rain, Snow (as we do in Minnesota), this is wonderful. Its sewn together very well, seam-sealed and theres a better chance of your para-cord breaking that the tie-ons, fabric and stitching on this tarp. Its a bit expensive too ... but you get way more bang-for-the-buck with this than you will with cheaper alternatives. That extra $15-20 is darn worth it. _______ I dont offer my thoughts on purchases very often or at all. I will simply be honest and let you know that this was not a disappointment. Its held-up through some fairly serious BushCrafting, Canoe Trips (Summer/Winter) and its still rock-solid. Well worth a look-see. My name is Alan and I approve this message. @Potential Buyers: There are no inside loops along the ridge-line like there are on a British BASHA. You can obviously add your own ... but the ridge-line provided by the maker is sturdy, seam-sealed ... so that might be tough one to do on your own (Seam-seal accordingly). @The Manufacturers: Well done. Maybe add some factory-provided loops on the inside along the ridge-line? Yes ... I would purchase this again ... but the darn things built to last a life-time so why ?

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

Best tarp on the planet

I have the 13X10 ft, and the 15X15 ft. Smaller one for solo trips, larger one for groups. I love gear that consistently performs under any conditions and these tarps deliver on everything I need. The only downside is the price and the weight, but I can assure you that these are an investment you will not regret after the first trip or two. The reliable quality makes up for the weight. Take care of them and they will last you a long while. You wont find a more durable, waterproof, and customizable tarp with as many loops as these!

Great new addition to my kit. Well made, waterproof. It is on the heavier end of tarps, but its supposed to be. One winter trip under it so far. Held up fine under some light rain and moderate to heavy wind. Worth the money.

These are the heaviest of the Aqua Quest tarp line up and to me they are worth the extra weight for bushcrafting/survival training. I am used to cheapie tarps so this is a luxury and buying from Amazon warehouse to save a little, this tarp is definitely worth the price. From Amazon warehouse it came brand new and I am happy to purchase an item that might have gone to the landfill. Tarp performs excellent with the limited test I have done to check if water poured from a water bottle seeps through any seem. Very happy with the purchase and Amazon in general. Would highly recommend this tarp to anyone who wants bombproof reliability at the expense of a little extra weight.

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.

Received quickly, and top quality. We used this tarp as an extension of our Trail Marker overland trailers ARB awning. Very versatile, with great flexible options in use. Stood up to heavy winds in Colorado last week. Wjile our ARB awning suffered pole damage (both arms and both legs) from a micro-burst wind gust. This tarp held up well, and was still 100%.. Will be purchasing another tarp and their other products from Aqua Quest! Highly recommend Aqua Quest companys products. Trail Marker Basecamp RCB

Have not used yet, but the quality of construction blew me away. I see no reason why this wont be my last camping tarp I ever buy.

High quality tarp. It is heavy duty which is what I wanted, but emphasis in heavy
