Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock Rain Fly – Waterproof Camping Tarp Cover with Tent Stakes & Carry Bag, Ultralight Shelter for Backpacking & Outdoor Shade

I was headed out for a weekend and although I have slept in my hammock previously, there had never been a chance of rain - different story this time. Looked around a bit, but settled on the WiseOwl rain fly and boy am I glad. Friday was good weather, but as we sat around the fire nearing midnight, rolls of thunder and distant lightning began to light up the sky. Weather apps confirmed a pretty heavy cell headed our way….i took off for the set up you see in the pictures a little earlier than others and was safely under cover when the storm rolled through. Wise Owl preformed great throughout a pretty heavy downpour - no leaks, no trouble staying anchored through some stiff winds too. Easy set up, good metal stakes and the easily adjustable guy lines worked perfectly. I half expect to see others joining me in the trees next year! Great product, great price. Easy choice.

I love my Wise Owl rain fly. It is supper lightweight and easy to stow away. Very durable. I have taken this rain fly on several backpacking trips now and it has really held up. Highly recommend if you are looking for lightweight and durability for reasonable price.

Looks great never used it but glad I have it if I need it

Overall I love it! Worked well for both light rain and bright sun on our most recent camping trip! Seemed fully waterproof and was fantastic to give a little shade. Feels durable and the included ropes and stakes felt fine!Setup: meh, it wasn't terrible to set up, but definitely took longer than the hammock itself. Its exactly what you'd expect from tying ropes to trees and staking out 4 guy lines. I didn't realize there were tensioners so I didn't actually use those which may have helped some.Size: The width is great but it's not much longer than the double hammock by wise owl (about a foot if the hammock is stretched to full length but a bit more as hung). I was kinda worried if there was more wind the ends of the hammock might get a bit damp.

This is a good, basic tarp for hammock camping. It is a 11 x 9 hex cut tarp, with four stakes, guylines, and a stuff sack.The material is a nice quality, being thick enough to be durable. Many wouldn’t want to take it backpacking, opting for the lighter weight version, but this isn’t that much heavier, and might provide extra durability good for scouts. The fabric is waterproof, and the ridge seam is taped, to be waterproof. The ridge seam is also sewn to provide extra strength, acting like a continuous ridgeline. The tie-out points are all *well* reinforced, and each has a lineloc, for easy adjustment using the provided guylines, and a reinforced gap that would give you the option to prop it up with a stick, a paddle, a hiking pole, etc.. It’s well designed and provides options for a good setup. The hex cut gives the user more coverage and protection than a diamond tarp (which is shown in some of the pictures).The guyline cord might be reflective. I’ve hit it with a flashlight, and if it’s reflective, it’s pretty weakly so. The stakes have cord ties that also may be reflective, but if that matters to you, I’d switch it out. The cords do make it easier to pull the stakes out. The manufacturer does provide cordage and adjusters, so you should be ready to set up the tarp immediately. The stakes are small, and work. Those who have favorite stakes should probably bring extras of those.It comes in a number of different colors, including some that let you blend into the background, and others that are bright and colorful.Overall, it’s a durable, well designed tarp setup, at a good price, that should offer years of use.

Fabulous quality compared to larger brands. Beautiful & vibrant color. Reinforced edges & corners. Waterproof. Perfect for hammock camping. All pre attached guy lines & quality stakes included. No need for knowledge of knots. So impressive I’m buying two more. Would definitely recommend and or purchase again in the future especially at the current $34.99 price point.

Good quality great to keep the dew off of you while camping. Packs up nice and small!

I’ve always been happy with all my wise owl purchases
