    I have used the DD 3x3 for a few years now both hammocking and as additional shelter over the fire when family camping and absolutely love it. I also have a Tenth Wonder Sargasso which only ever comes out on odd occasions in the summer. I have now bought the DD superlight tarp to reduce the bulk a bit but would never consider an alternative make again.

    Almost forgot to ask you, Jus, is the Superlight tarp made out of sil-nylon?

    No, it is still a coated fabric with a much lighter material used which surprised me to be honest. The TW tarp I have is silnylon and time will tell how durable both are.

    plus one for the dd tarp. I used mine for the first time this week. It kept me dry as a storm rolled in off the sea with hail and high winds. when I first unpacked it it seemed very thin and flimsy compared to my British surplus basha. but I'm really happy with it so far.
