Bought this tarp for hunting season for a quick rain shelter. It has now become my primary bivy/tent. got caught in a Montana hail storm at 9000ft winds must have been over 60mph I can't believe this tarp held up without a scratch! You can put an enourmous amount of pressure on the eylets to really tie it down tight and it packs down small and light. My only addition is some para rope and four stakes. I have already ordered two more to give as gifts for my hunting buddies.

This tarp was great for two people. We had plenty of space for our gear, enough room to make a snow bench and lounge and eat. I use this tarp in conjunctions with a tent, which is intentionally small and light. For 15oz., it is great for getting out of the snow.The tarp is very small, light and easy to deal with. I also appreciate the neutral, gray color.

I like the service your website offers and my ranking should not reflect the service. I am disappointed in the Siltarp2 – 8x10 tarp itself. I was expecting a ridge seam of 10 foot long rather than an 8 foot ridge seam. Integral Designs’ decision in cutting the sections this way does reduce the amount of material needed to make the tarp, therefore reducing the cost to manufacture. However, it also reduces the efficiency of a tarp with the longer ridge seam. With other manufactures charging almost the same for their product with a 10 foot ridge seam, I would be hard pressed to recommend this product to others.

Its a nice tarp...lightweight and feels bomber. It makes a good 2-man shelter, although I wouldn't want to share the space with a partner if it got to raining too much. The only complaint I have is having to apply my own seam sealant. I understand that many folks seal their own shelter seams and some manufacturers even recommend it. But, I've never had the need to go beyond factory sealing and found applying my own to be a pain in the a$$. It was really difficult to apply in a thin manner and I think I added 6 oz to the weight of the tarp in sealant alone (slight exaggeration of course).

The tarp is no frills, and I love that. It's a perfect fabric, lightweight, super packable, and very large.

You do have to seem seal the center, and it does come with sealant. I realized upon taking it out for the first time, that it was a little harder than I thought...I missed some sealant in the center.

Also, it doesn't come with any rope. For the price, I wish they'd fix you up with some string.

I haven't been rained on yet, but when you look at the fabric, you can tell it will be waterproof, and that this is a quality product.

I used this tarp and only this tarp, well, with a sleeping bag to do the tct trans catalina trail. The winds were ar gail force and all boats/ships were halted from in or off the island. I camped at a beach one night and at a park the other night, the winds were riping up tants and really howling. My tarp was pitched as a low a frame and held strong all night. While others were having a hard time, I was sleeping like rip van winkle. It packs the size of a arizona ice tea and it next to nothing in weight. Tuff as nails and worth the cost easily. If your into packing light and leaving the extras behind, this is the ticket

I love using the SilTrap, as i'm getting older i find i want an extra light pack, and its excellent for Aussie Summer conditions...

Huddled under this tarp, in the rain, just north of Rocky Mountain National Park. Rained on us ALL day. Set this up near the fire and played poker and just hung out. Worked great. Extremely lightweight. It's very slick and that made getting it back into the tiny stuff sack interesting. It rolls up smaller than a Nalgene and weighs less than a full bottle. Perfect to cover the cooking and hanging out area at basecamp.

I wanted a tarp that was lightweight. I found it. I wanted a tarp that was simple. I found it. I also wanted the best price. I certainly found that. Initially I wasn't too happy with gray being the only available color in stock, but putting it to use on a weeklong trip in Sequoia NP I found it nearly disappeared among the gray granite boulders. It was also easy to set up in any number of configurations.
