Unfortunately the other sizes aren't available Amazon here in the USA. The 4x4 size is only available for $280 for some reason.Originally Posted by Bopdude
DD also do 4x3m and 4x4m tarps, we rate them highly here in the U.K.
No affiliation, just a happy customer
As with all things it depends on what it is used for. The Kelty Noah and the Aquaquest are excellent all purpose tarps. They make great options when you aren't counting grams for LD hiking.
I have been using the Hennessy Hex I picked up on Amazon for about two years now with no issues. I think at 27 ounces it is not an ultra light tarp, but it does balance the "function to weight" ratio very well.

Frankly, I'm not seeing anything that's all that much better than the Yukon Rainfly, if that's what you're currently using. Lots of good cheap options though that I didn't know were there until I looked.

I've been happy with my Chill Gorilla hex thus far. It seems plenty durable, and it's definitely waterproof.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
I do use the Yukon, and it's an excellent tarp for the money. I was looking for a hex tarp to use for more coverage in rainy weather, and to use during winter. I use a DIY insulated sock during the winter so I don't need doors really.
A Dutchware tarp on Amazon? What is this, fantasy land?! Let me just go ride my unicorn right over to my money tree and then order dutchware off of Amazon.
Are you trying to get my wife to divorce me? Dutchware on Amazon would bankrupt me.
