Marcy at Gear Out Here (the distributor for aqua quest) was great when I had a seam issue. It didn't leak but looked like a sewing machine just ran out of thread and missed a little bit. New replacement sent as promised. Excellent product and has NOT leaked once in 5 uses. The most wonderful place/sound is a rainstorm under the tarp in a hammock"¦ period! I'll be saving up for the 10x13 next as the 15x15 is great for a picnic I'd like to have a little smaller one for just my hammock. Durability is very good so far, it's the heaviest tarp so it's great when you don't care about grams you're hiking with. It's easy to adjust due to so many tie outs. The tarp looks nice and I've had numerous guys come by my set up and comment on how nice or cool the tarp is. It's very quiet in the wind unlike cheap tarps and with the multiple tie out options you're bound to find you're perfect tie off. This tarp does seem to retain heat well if you need it for an enclosed shelter.

I'm in the Army Infantry and this has been my go-to protection through snow, hail, wind, rain and thunder storms for the past 2.5 years.

The multitude of tie downs points, the elasticity of the tent, and quality build have lasted me this long. Sadly I now need to buy a replacement since mine is finally getting holes, but in all honesty I'm surprised it lasted this long. For reference, I broke through my issued tarp 2 rotations in. I also often use semi-sharp sticks to prop up the center"¦. Tough tarp for its size.

I highly suggest buying one of these but it has one main drawback (which is common): it starts to sag after it's been rained on a lot, regardless of how it was set up.

I highly suggest getting quick release buckles in order to hasten your set up and take down"¦ I had this tent and my sleep system completely broken down and packed away/completely set up in about 5 minutes with those buckles.

The tie down points also let me easily connect other tarps in a way I can't do with other tarps. I love that. They also allow me to pull this tarp to fit awkward sized spaces, which I often find myself setting up a hooch in.

The woodland camo is ideal for semi-concealed locations. Placing just a couple branches around the tarp with it set up at a height of about 2-3ft makes it hard to detect if done right.

Seeing as how weight is a factor when I go to the field, I have to rate this a 4 since it tends to hold the water weight. Again, not uncommon.

I highly suggest this to anybody who's looking for a quality tarp that'll last through any element they encounter.

Very happy with this product. Was able to conveniently backpack it in over 12 miles of rough terrain and it withstood a 4 day windstorm rather well.

We use this tarp for backpacking, car camping, picnics, and whenever we need quick relief from sun exposure, or rain. It just works for us. Your experiences may differ.

Extreme heavy-duty, large waterproof 15x15. Very heavy but this quality is well worth it!
