I would say its a cost effective solution for weather protection. I've had mine a couple years and I use it primarily over my eno for day lounging at the beach. But I do use it with my 10 foot trail lair for some overnight trips. It provides decent coverage for rain if its pitched low and the rains coming straight down. One thing to remember is that the price is directly related to how much material is used...the bigger the tarp, the higher the price. The craftsmanship is on par with everything else that Jared does. The line locs and beastie rings are nice, plus it packs down to the size of a grapefruit. SLD also makes a larger version of the tarp that really improves the coverage.
As with any tarp or gear setup. Practice, practice and more practice. Be familiar with how to pitch it in a variety of conditions and build your own level of confidence.
