What's a good lightweight option for a tarp?

[HamNCheeseShoes]

Hi all, I was hoping to get some input to help me decide on what tarp I should pull the trigger on. I'm not an Ultralight backpacker per se, more of a lightweight, but I think weight should be a serious consideration when choosing new equipment. I quickly found out that a hammock set up is going to be heavier than my normal tent load out and would like to close that gap as much as possible for when I go on some long trails for comfort's sake. I got a bad knee and things are starting to creak when I get up in the morning Getting to it I've run across a bunch of cottage company options that look enticing and wanted to get some feedback from folks who own or know of them and can maybe introduce me to another contender to look at. Finding cottage companies is a fickle process that's mostly dictated by chance in my experience.

I mostly camp in the coastal areas of California so I don't need to worry about snow or extremely high winds, but would like to know if a particular tarp wouldn't perform well in stormy conditions since every now and then I'll be up in the mountains or in some rainy weather if I get the itch to go out during the rainy season. I got out to the coast during a big storm a couple years ago and watched lighting roll over the ocean from the beach and I've been chasing that kind of scene again for a while.

OKAY HERE WE GO! I would prefer silnylon or silpoly to avoid a heavy-ish PU coated tarp. I know about the pros and cons of Silnylon vs. Silpoly and have decided that I can make due with either, I'm not gonna die if I have to fix some sag I'll just take care of it when I go to the bathroom. Anything over a pound (16 oz or 454 grams) I would consider too heavy, but I'm open minded so fire away. Price is important in that I'm not a rich man but frugality runs in my veins haha. Dyneema prices make me want to cry, so I would like to set the ceiling at $150. Also I like the idea of a Hex tarp over an Asym, I welcome you to try and change my mind though. Hopefully this preemptively answers most questions to help with the decision making, thanks for keeping up! Now onto some options I've been looking at in no particular order other than what tabs are open on my computer:

- Warbonnet Minifly 11ft ($110) 13 oz 368 g in 30D Silnylon
This might be the one I go for. Has small doors on the ends to help stave off slanting rain and comes in at a very low weight for the coverage you get.

- Dutchware Xenon Hex Tarp 11ft ($110) 13.4 oz 380 g
Ticks a lot of boxes and looks really appealing, unless someone has some insight on while this should not be my first (now second) choice.

- Dutchware Wide Asym Tarp 11.5ft - 12.5ft ($90) 10.58 oz 300 g
Extra tieouts on the tarp might help out in windy conditions but it doesn't seem like it would stand up to strong gusts if I'm in an open area.

- Arrowhead Equipment Shangri La 11ft ($125.50) ~10.75 oz ~305 g
Seems like a solid tarp that could offer a little more than minimal protection.

- Arrowhead Equipment Toxaway 12ft ($134.50) ~15.25 oz ~432 g
A lot more tarp for a little more money, but it's creeping more towards my weight limit. Extra space might be more comfortable when it's in porch mode though.

- UGQ Hanger 11WB 11ft ($89.95) 13.5 oz 382 g
Very similar to Dutch's, give or take an inch here and there. I'm just including it for anyone else who might be buying from them and can save on shipping costs.

- Hammock Gear The Quest 11ft ($99.99) 13.32 oz 377 g
A solid tarp at a good price point, having bought my TQ from them before I gotta say they have excellent customer service and seem like good people overall.

- Simply Light Designs Trail Haven 11ft* ($131.95) Weight Unknown
Judging from the pictures this tarp is a good size and has an aggressive cat cut on all sides. This one is on here mainly as an inquiry. Without knowing the weight I don't want to commit to it, so does anyone have one of these bad boys that they could weigh (haha) in on? What width are you rockin' as well?

- Simply Light Designs Trail Duster 2.0 11ft* ($141.95) Weight Unknown
This one rocks a more squared off design than the Trail Haven, but edges have the option of being cat cut. Same inquiry as previous tarp.

*The Simply Light Designs tarps were the only two where I added modifiers that changed the price. They include increasing the ridgeline from the base priced 10ft to 11ft and swapping the guy out points to D-ring connections instead of Lineloc 3's to make use of my existing hardware. That said they do offer an impressive amount of options at a reasonable price and I recommend checking them out if you have specific needs for your tarp and aren't as picky as myself

All weights are pulled from the manufacturer's sites and I rounded off when exact weights weren't given. Prices all include seam sealing services or cost of DIY seam sealing kits, but no other add ons that I could not provide myself (e.g. Stakes, Guy Lines, Stuff Sacks, etc.) No shipping costs were factored into this list so it wouldn't skew the prices for someone living in another locale wanting to buy from this list.

Yep, that's about it. I had fun making this list and even if nothing comes of it for me I hope it helps out someone down the line! Thanks in advance for any input!
