    Thumbs up Trail Haven Tarp

    I purchased the 12' long 112" wide tarp in 1.1 oz Xenon Sil material with cat cuts, 1.75mm zing it for the ridgelines (12.5' on each end), Lawson Glowire guylines (6.25' each), and UL titanium stakes. The entire setup, including the stuff sack, weighs 15 ounces.

    Xenon Sil is a great material for rain tarps. It packs very well and is surprisingly quiet in the breeze-- it does not make a lot of slapping noise in the wind like some tarp materials. Lawson Glowire is really good stuff for the guylines. It grips itself well, making it ideal for tensioning knots, like a trucker's hitch or a slippery half hitch. The UL titanium stakes are slim shepard's hooks. They are very light and strong, but arguably do not have as much holding power as a v-shaped stake.

    I love the look of the tarp and am happy with my purchase!

    Congrats on the new tarp! I'm a big fan of Lawson Glowire — the added visibility for middle of the night bathroom trips is awesome and it actually stays tight on my linelocs!

    Enjoy!
