Unigear Hammock Rain Fly Waterproof Camping Tent Tarp for Backpacking

I have purchased two versions of this tarp, the large 10x16 foot and the small 10x10 foot. I have had the 10x16 tarp since 2021 and have used it over 10 times. I live in the pacific Northwest, and commonly camp in wet and cold conditions. I have used this tarp in both summer to keep cool, and winter to keep warm. The reflective inside does a good job reflecting heat creating a barrier against the sun, or for keeping the heat in. My small tarp I use as part of my SAR kit. It is perfect size for a 6'5" person in a mountain man modified holden configuration. I typically use part of the tarp as a ground cloth. To prevent tear outs I use small bungies that keep things tight and reduces damage from high winds. In my last campout, it was used to revive two hypothermic campers who's kelty tarp failed to maintain waterproof or structure. The large tarp has center ties, but the small tarp only has ties on each corner and halfway on each edge (8 total). The material is of good quality, and everything is nicely sewn and sealed. I have not had any problems with leaking, even on parts that have been used as a ground cloth. The lines that come with them are retro-reflective striped, and very visible. The stakes are good quality aluminum stakes, much better than the bent steel things that come with many cheap tents at the same weight. Mine came with a cord and stake bag, and a nicely sized bag to store the tarp in. I would recommend this tarp, it has held up to high winds, torrential downpours, and 100F days with almost no wear.

i bought the 9.8ft model and I am impressed with the quality and attention to detail of this tarp. Very nice quality. The down side is it is a bit on the heavy side and only has six grommets. Has a nice storage bag that is large enough to get the tarp back into without much effort. Comes with guy lines and stakes but mine only came with 2 stakes instead of the six pictured.

This a good fly but I have moved on. It does exactly what it’s marketed to do and that’s a good thing. I like the color and the fact it has a reflective side on it. A big bonus for camping in cooler temps. Here’s y I don’t use it. I replaced it with a cheap tarp. Tarp is lighter, cheaper, and does the exact same thing (mostly). Plus there’s multiple colors and if I burn a hole in it or damage it in some way which is inevitable, who cares I’ll get another. The damaged one will get recycled into something for yard work like covering equipment or firewood or putting dirt or rocks or debris on to ease cleanup after digging holes or whatever.

Excellent tarp for the price. I researched a lot of tarps before selecting this one. Happy with my decision. The 10' x 10' (3m x 3m) is perfect size for my eno doublenest hammock. Really like putting the front size up in porch mode with my trekking pole on the center loop as in the pictures. Haven't used it in the rain yet but I can tell without a doubt it would perform great. The stiching is well done, grommets are decent quality, and I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the quality of the guy lines (not great but not bad either). I recommend replacing the stakes for something more sturdy but they'll get the job done. It's a little on the jeavy side for backpacking but it will work, just not geared towards the ultralight crowd. Overall, great tarp, I would recommend this product to others. EDIT: got a chance to use this tarp in a good steady rain. Rained on me for a solid 12 hours, not a DROP inside. Everything held up great, and I'm definitely impressed. Will be using this on more trips to come no doubt.

Have two of these. One stay with the camping stuff one stays with the hammocks. They're very versatile and easy to setup quickly, the stakes could be better but work decent unless your in sand. One is used for a rain fly for an eno hammock it always stays dry and is perfect fit for one of the enos, these are 4 years old and have held up great, to being used for quick rain fly, shade cover, simple shelters, awnings pulled off roof rack. I have over the years updated the tie downs to nite eyes locking caribener for quicker set up and adjustment. Mine are green on one side and silver underneath. When used as a sun shade the temp difference is amazing under the tarp. When it does get rained on it dont leak and dries out very quickly. If you play with the fold up you cam get everything plus some paranoid in the pack sack it comes in.

Supper tarp great for backpacking

First, the positives. The fabric of this tarp feels very strong and sturdy, and I have no doubt it will last long. Second, the guy lines are nice and long. They come with plastic tensioners, so if knots intimidate you, you can use those. Third, it's affordable. But two things make me wish I'd kept shopping. The first is that the tarp really can't be stuffed into the stuff sack. If you fold it and roll it up nice and tight, as it arrived in the first place, it fits pretty easily. But a tarp should be able to be stuffed into the bag, and this one seems to get bigger when you try to stuff it in. I have only managed to stuff about two thirds in before giving up and folding and rolling it up. But the main issue is the tie-out points. There are no tie-out points in the middle of the tarp. Some tarp configurations really require you to have guy lines coming off the roof or middle of the tarp, but you can't do that with this one. The frustrating thing is that the main picture here on Amazon sure makes it *look* like there are tie out points running down the center of the tarp, but they are not there. That's pretty frustrating. The tarp is still usable, but I will look for another one for my main tarp and just keep this one as a backup.

I use this to cover my tent and create a small dry front porch area when there is rain in the forecast. Took some work to set up the first time with all the lines, but once done, worked great to keep me dry and give me somewhere to sit outside when raining. Packs up pretty small and totally waterproof. It's a very lightweight material which is good for packing and carrying, but means it may not hold up a long time if you use it constantly. But can't be beat for the price.

Ich finde das Tarp gut verarbeitet. Es ist leicht und kommt schon verpackt. Ich habe es diesen Sommer bei der Hitze aus der Not heraus den ganzen Sommer bei mir am Balkon aufgespannt gelassen. Bei Wind und Wetter und Dauerbelastung. Befestigt mit Zurrgurten, richtig Stramm. Die Plane und Nähte zeigen keinerlei Verschleisserscheinungen. Nichts angerissen. Alles noch wie neu. Ich werde mir noch eine zweite zulegen. Diese dann als Tarp benutzen und die jetzige wieder als Sonnenschutz am Balkon nächstes Jahr lassen. Update 2020: Nachdem ich mir das Tarp noch ein zweites Mal gekauft habe, möchte ich nach 1Jahr Dauereinsatz nochmal die Robustheit betonen. Das erste Tarp war im Jahr 2019, 5Monate dauerhaft vor unserem Fensterals Sonnenschutz gespannt und dieses Jahr bereits 4 1/2 Monate am Stück. Und das im 5.Stock bei freier Wetterlage am Stadtrand, bei jeglicher Form von Sturm und Unwetter. Das Tarp zeigt nach wie vor an den Nähten, Ösen und Stoff keinerlei Beschädigung, Abnutzung, gerissene Nähte etc. Auch die silberene UV Beschichtung verrichtet hervorragend ihren Dienst und hält die Wärme am Westbalkon bei untergehender Sonne hervorragend fern. Lediglich das Braun der Oberseite ist durch die Dauerbestrahlung der Sonne leicht aufgehellt. Das hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass das Ding und die Nähte unter monatelanger Dauerspannung immer noch so stabil ist. Lediglich im Winter brauchten wir es nicht und haben es abgehangen. Auch das zweite Tarp tut beim bushcraften hervorragend seinen Dienst. Allerdings muss dabei bewusst sein, durch die innere Silberbeschichtung ist man durchaus im Wald je nach Aufbauvariante, bspw. Der einfachen Schräge naturlich nicht so gut getarnt. Dafür hält es Wind und Regen aber bombastisch ab.

Är verkligen nöjd! Gör precis vad den ska.

This is an excellent canopy/shelter. Light weight and very well built. Every corner has reenforced stitching and a tan. Each tab is over stitched which is rare these days. Simple to use. Comes with tie downs and pegs, even the pegs have a point of the for easy use. I used it as an improvised shelter. I just ran a ridge line between two trees and it was that easy. After sweating it up I realized I didn’t have to set up a ridge line, there are two tabs on the center line that can be attached to the trees. Very well thought out product. Thai one is a little bit too big for what I was looking for but the kids will use it over their hammocks for sure.

Sono totalmente soddisfatto di questo acquisto. Premetto che, muovendomi prevalentemente in macchina per andare a fare camping, non sono stato particolarmente attento al peso, per cui non posso dare una valutazione in quel senso. Ho, però, potuto constatare la resistenza ad acqua e vento e le dimensioni. Utilizzato come copertura aggiuntiva per la mia tenda, così da ripararla da sole e pioggia. Ha resistito egregiamente a 2 giorni di forti temporali estivi: il telo non si è minimamente danneggiato e la parte sottostante era completamente asciutta. L'ho acquistato insieme a dei paletti modulari in modo da avere un'ampia possibilità di configurazione.

Great tarp. Perfect size, multiple guying points and durable tie points. Plus use more legs though but easily solved by making your own guy lines and buying extra legs. Used it with telescopic poles, tied to trees and used a tree as a pole. It’s always with me when I camp. Really improved the comfort so I’m not stuck in the tent in bad weather.
