Palace Tarp
I have the standard tarp with doors and wanted something a bit bigger so my wife and I could both sit under it on rainy days to cook meals without bringing alond a separate tarp on rainy backpacking trips. Quality looks the same as the standard which is very good.
Thanks, Otto! Dyneema requires a little more care than a standard silnylon tarp and the material is expensive! The fact that you came back for a second tarp means that you DO know how to care for the material and are pleased with the performance. Thank you for the review!

I just went on an overnighter. I have the normal door tarp. Ive used it several times I went out this time with the palace tarp with a 12 ridge line. After getting it all set up and using my trekking poles for porch mode and pulling the sides out. Holy cow is this thing roomy. I was also able to drop it down real low to the ground while still being able to sit in my hammock like normal. This tarp will be going with me on my AT through hike.
