Rain Tarp

This is a high-quality, versatile product that performs well across a wide range of applications. One standout feature is its packability—it consistently fits back into its original storage sack without the usual hassle, which alone makes it easy to recommend. The construction is lightweight yet durable, with materials that feel robust and well-engineered. Waterproof performance is excellent, providing full protection even in wet conditions. The seams are tightly constructed and properly finished, with no signs of fraying or weakness. It also includes a sufficient number of securement points, allowing for a tight, stable setup that prevents excess movement or flapping. This contributes to both its performance and overall clean, streamlined appearance when deployed. Overall, the combination of thoughtful design, reliable materials, and ease of use makes this a highly dependable and user-friendly product.

TLDR; Great value, strong, light, waterproof. Much better than I was expecting. I’ve been backpacking for 30 years, and have never carried a tarp into the woods to use as a secondary rainfly. I never thought the extra bulk would be worth it beyond what comes with my tent. I finally decided to go for it with this one because of its light weight and small storage size. I set it up in the Algonquin Highlands in Ontario, where my wife and I were spending a couple nights. Used it to cover our cooking area a few steps away from our tent. Set up was easy, and I can see the possibility for versatile angles and heights. I built this one high enough to walk under, so the low sides were suspended two or three feet off the ground, and the ridge line at like five or six feet high. So a big thunder storm comes through….very windy, but not quite a microburst. We dive into our tent, and im thinking there’s no way this tarp from Amazon is staying in place. Not only did it stay (both ridge line ties plus four stakes), but there was still a very distinct dry spot under the tarp. We could have sheltered under it and still stayed reasonably dry. This tarp definitely gets the award for hero of the trip.

This is an excellent entry level tarp for hammock camping. I own 4 of the standard size and 1 ultralight all purchased 5-6 years ago with typically about 30-40 camping nights per year. Get the standard shape. The ultralight is diamond shaped, barely covers the hammock especially if you sleep diagonally, and is only fully protective if the rain is coming straight down which it seldom does on mountaintops. The standard size is hexagonal, gives great coverage over your hammock especially if you use a structural ridge line, and if you stake it tight and narrow gives you protection against wind and blowing rain. If you prop one side with trekking poles you get a wonderful covered area to cook and socialize in. I have camped with multiple scouts and others who have tried the ENO pro which, while slightly lighter, barely covers your hammock and is not big enough to do anything about the wind. I have also had a hammock tear while on a multi-day canoe trek. Because of the diamond shape this fly could make a ground shelter against a tree that almost completely enclosed me. Pros - It is wide enough to fully cover you for rain even if there is wind. - Extra width also means that when you stake it tight its edges are below your hammock blocking the wind. - It is simple and intuitive enough for new scouts or novice campers to use - It is at a price point where you can buy several for the family/troop - It is durable. The material does not run easily. One of my tarps had a stick puncture repair with needle and thread 3 years ago and is still does not leak and is in regular use and is usually my personal tarp. - The bag is waterproof, critical if you are backpacking and have to put it in your pack wet. Cons - It is heavier than higher priced hammock tarps. - The hexagonal shape gives great protection from winds from the sides but does not give protection for winds from the head or feet. I am happy with the quality of products from this company. I own one of their hammocks, 4 standard tarps, one ultralight tarp, a dozen hammock straps, and many silnylon bags. All of their products have shown quality and every one of these except my ultralight tarp have been in regular use for at least 3-5 years without failing.

Purchased as a gift for my nephew. Fabulous quality compared to larger brands. Beautiful, bright & vibrant color (purchased Light Blue). Reinforced edges & corners. Waterproof. Perfect for hammock camping. All pre attached guy lines & quality stakes included. No need for knowledge of knots. So impressive I’m buying two more. Would definitely recommend and or purchase again in the future especially at the current $34.99 price point. UPDATE: Purchased my SECOND WiseFly in Sage to complement my ENO 7ft SkyLite & 10ft JungleNest hammocks & it covers both. There is hardly room at the ends of the 10 ft hammock & has feet to spare in each end of the 7 ft hammock. Definitely NOT impressed with the jacked up $50 price point as I paid much less under a year ago. I now have many Wise Owl products and consider their products to be reliable & well made. I would still recommend & replace in the future as necessary. UPDATE: Something told me to check my camping set up PRIOR to going out on the trail… I’m so glad I did! It was missing two of the clips and tie outs. One on either side of the ridge line ... I was very happy it was still in the return/replace window as Amazon took full responsibility and shipped a new one IMMEDIATELY! I will definitely be checking it when it arrives tomorrow and will update if necessary. Even with this snafu I would still recommend and purchase again if needed!

I bought this tarp with the intention of switching to hammock camping, and a tarp is necessary in the drizzly PNW. The first time I used it, however, was on a backpacking trip where I knew we would have a tent but thought I should bring it anyway, on a whim. We were caught in a downpour! Thankfully this was quick to set up (first time!) and allowed us to build a campfire (with enough clearance) and fit all three of us underneath to cook, eat, keep our packs dry, and play a game of UNO. A much less miserable trip! I took it on a solo hammock trip and it saved me once again. I had enough coverage for my hammock setup AND space to cook up my dinner, bone-dry. Woke up in the morning completely dry, the tarp covered the length of my hammock perfectly and with a nice view of the river below to wake up to. The guylines have good length, they worked wonderfully with trekking poles where trees were too spread out, and with some pre-planning, it's really quite simple to pack up in the morning. I use a ridgeline for extra support, but honestly it doesn't even need it with enough tension. The stitching looks solid, not only am I impressed, I have no concerns of ripping out the stitches when I tighten it up. Considering the price compared to other bigger brand names, I thought I would be sacrificing weight, but am pleasantly surprised at how light it is. The stakes are also super light yet quite sturdy, I wouldn't even switch them out, as a backpacker concerned with weight. A combination of durability, light-weight, and affordability is certainly hard to come by in outdoor products. I definitely recommend Wise Owl Outfitters to folks, friends and passing hikers have inquired about my tarp. The folks at Wise Owl even checked up on my purchase soon after I bought it to see if I was satisfied or had any questions. This business seems genuinely invested in providing affordable yet quality products. You can just tell this business is run by people who also love the outdoors. Plus, I like their logo and color options :)

Works great to keep you dry under your hammock! It is also good for keeping the sun off of you while in your hammock. The stakes allow you to set it up easily. I used this in a downpour and it kept me dry while in my hammock. Packs down into a small carry case. Well made and seems like it will hold up for quite a while. The size is plenty big enough to cover your hammock.

I was headed out for a weekend and although I have slept in my hammock previously, there had never been a chance of rain - different story this time. Looked around a bit, but settled on the WiseOwl rain fly and boy am I glad. Friday was good weather, but as we sat around the fire nearing midnight, rolls of thunder and distant lightning began to light up the sky. Weather apps confirmed a pretty heavy cell headed our way….i took off for the set up you see in the pictures a little earlier than others and was safely under cover when the storm rolled through. Wise Owl preformed great throughout a pretty heavy downpour - no leaks, no trouble staying anchored through some stiff winds too. Easy set up, good metal stakes and the easily adjustable guy lines worked perfectly. I half expect to see others joining me in the trees next year! Great product, great price. Easy choice.

Ligera, compacta, práctica, resistente y bonita. No es barata pero creo en la búsqueda de algo bueno creo que como toldo portable es de lo mejor.

Una lona liviana y muy resistente. Me ha mantenido seco en tormentas bastante fuertes, los tensores automaticos se aflojan un poco en vientos muy fuertes pero anudandolos dejas de tener problemas, no creo que eso deba afectar la calificación del producto porque no compromete su funcionamiento.

I was able to give this a good test. I would recommend, the taped seams and overall construction is well made. each tie off point has some great adjustment toggles,

Gutes Tarp, leicht.
