Traverse Shelter Hammock

Versatile shelter tarp

Have not used this with a hammock yet but it would work great. The tarp is heavier and packs larger than I would have liked, as well as the stuff sack is unusable due to is small size.

Great tarp, i've used it for hammock camping and cover for kitchen areas when raining. Pretty light and packable, the included adjutable guy lines are nice, light and sturdy. Overall, very satisfied

I have used it once so far for a three night camping trip. It was pouring rain the entire time and the tarp kept my tent super duper dry. I wish it had more rope (I'm being picky) is my only issue. I love that it came with good quality pegs. Tie off points on the tent seem very strong. Looking forward to using it again.

Great light weight shelter for two

I ordered this as a lightweight shelter for backpacking. I typically just sleep under the stars in good weather. But I like to have enough room under a tarp when it rains to keep my gear too. I liked that this tarp has extended peaks for extra space. I've sewn those on myself on past tarps. There is plenty of room for two. This tarp comes with some nice features. It has all of the cord you need to set it up included, with some nice minimalistic slide adjusters that make setting it up a snap. The corners have nice big loops. I save a little weight by leaving the tent stakes at home and using sticks and stones to secure my tarp. The large loops give me more flexibility to use whatever I can find to secure it. I picked up some clips that I can put in the middle of each side to pull the sides out and create more space. I've set it up a couple of times on backpacking trips, and it worked well. It is a great price for a fully featured tarp. It's also light weight for how roomy it is. I wouldn't hesitate to take this on a one or two person backpacking trip of any length. I have been poking around for something a little smaller for trips when it's just one person. I figure if I find the right tarp I may be able to shave a few ounces off my pack. If Klymit came out with a smaller version of this that would be the ticket for me. Overall, this is a great backcountry shelter.

Excellent shelter

This shelter was a lifesaver in alpine Colorado rains! Ended up unexpectedly hammock camping, and despite near-constant rain my sleeping bag stayed toasty dry. My only wish is that the sides came down a bit further to accommodate for additional head room and prevent wind-driven rain from potentially contacting the underside of the hammock. Very light-weight, very compact, super waterproof, an absolute must for anyone anticipating rain while hammocking!

Works great

I got this for my son to use with his hammock kit, and it was plenty large and worked great to keep water off him in several rain storms we had while camping in the boundary waters. It was a bit bigger than the ENO one another scout was using. Would definitely buy again for another hammock or a 1-2 person shelter.

Excellent purchase

I bought this as an addition to a hammock set up I already owned. Superior quality. Held up great in torrential down pots while camping. Extra tie down spots make it very sturdy if using for more than a night or two in the same location. I Can see using this shelter in many configurations other than just for the hammock. Exciting to see where I can go with this product.

Great format for a hammock

Spent the night in heavy rain sleeping in a hammock protected by this tarp from the wind and the rain. Everything was dry and the loops where perfect for paracord. It packs fairly small for a tarp. Québec, Canada (spring 2023)

Nice canopy

You will find lots of good things with this tarp. Have had it several years now with now issues. Nice and light for its size. I have never had issues with it letting water through. Built in tension system and pegs make it really easy to set up. Design is optimized for hammocks which is nice coverage and good air flow. Would be nice to see it squared off more for general use and repacking. I don’t feel that would take away from air flow much. My only real issue is the stuff sack. Great for advertised pack size but if it is even a little damp you’re not fitting it back in. I would like to see this bag oversized for field use.
