Tarp Review UGQ Winter Dream 13

[winterbeard]

I thought I recalled them being right around 11'. If I get the pack out, I will measure them, maybe tomorrow.

Nice review. Been looking at the 11' UGQ WD vs the Superfly. Thoughts?

For a Ridgerunner, I would recommend the 13 ft UGQ WD? For a gathered end hammock it depends. They are the same width. The WD comes in 1.1 SilNylon, 1.1 and 0.9 SilPoly. The Superfly comes in 1.1 SilNylon. The SilNylon on the Superfly is 30D and has a static head of 2000 mm. The WD SilNylon is 20D and has a static head of 1500 mm. If you get SilNylon I would get the Superfly, it's cheaper and has a tougher more waterproof fabric for the same weight.

I should have clarified. I was thinking about it for a Warbonnet Blackbird XLC. I kind of like the snaps idea for the doors.

Ah I see. Both are great tarps. I bought a snap kit to add snaps to whatever I want. Also, WB is releasing a new camo pattern for the Superfly in a couple weeks. If you're into camo you may want to wait, it might sway your decision.

I concur. I own both. They are both great tarps. I'm thinking of listing my year old superfly, though, cause it's just not a match for my Ridgerunner, like the longer 13' Winter Dream. However, it performed very well, for the WB blackbird XLC, I originally bought it for.

Skyjacker, you've piqued my interest, with the idea of those cam snaps... Might have to put that on a diy Christmas wish list.

The snap kit is very easy to operate. You poke a hole with the included awl, place a male on one die and a female on the other and press them together. Easy Peasy!
