The Quest

Great quality tarp! Very light, good coverage, unique color - I love it
Please open a branch in Europe :)

Great tarp! Perfect coverage for my 11 ft hammock with room to spare. Add mesh tarp sleeve and reflective guy lines for quick deploy and stow. Quest is my new favorite 3-season tarp. This is my 2nd tarp from Hammock Gear.. Journey 12 ft with side panel pullouts is my go-to winter shelter with doors. Hammock Gear craftsmanship and high quality materials are a smart alternative to cheaper mass- produced tarps.

Weighs less, packs down smaller than my old tarp but far larger. Got 12 ft with linelocs, with clips for the ridgeline tie-outs. Huge coverage, particularly if you set up one side higher, could shelter a small group in light rain. And speaking of rain, held up 100% on the first trip out in 4+ hours of driving rain, did not bleed through even where the hammock was touching the fabric. Great stuff - BTW, 75 ft of cord is plenty. . .

I ordered the 12-foot version of the Quest, because I wanted the extra coverage on either end. An 11-foot will fit the Hammock Gear hammocks without issue. So if you want to trim some bulk and weight, 11 foot is fine.

I strongly recommend you get a snake skin to help wrap up this tarp. Sil-poly is super slippery. I found it very difficult to fold up neatly.

Also the reflective guy lines are a must. Its amazing how easy it is to see the reflective guy lines with my headlamp on lowest-power red light. It looks like laser lassos are holding down the tarp. But it also means I am not tripping over a guy line when trying to make it back from the fire ring or the cat hole in the dark.

This tarp is absolutely amazing in comparison to what I had been using before. This was an investment to lighten up my hammock tarp system as well as reducing my volume, I was able to do that, and then some, without spending a crazy amount of money. I seam sealed the ridge-line as instructed even though it says you do not have too. I got the 12 foot in the Copper color with the Beastee D rings, which is unique and looks great! It is light and compacts down quite well. I haven't had it in a rainstorm yet, but the hose in the backyard indicates that it is indeed very waterproof. In the sunlight it dried off quickly, and seemed that you could shake off quite a bit of excess water before you packed it up. I love the fact that with a continuous ridge-line, guy-lines, tarp, and the mesh Hammock Gear snakeskin, will EASILY fit back into the provided stuff sack, a feat that I would never have accomplished with my first hammock tarp. The stitching is a work of art, everything about this tarp is perfect in my book, and is going to be a great addition to my pack.

Great tarp. I needed a tarp with good coverage for my 11 ft hammock that was lightweight and within a seniors budget. This fits the bill 100%. I’ve only used it once so far but I am thrilled with it.

The item arrived prior to the estimated date, in perfect condition. Stitching and otherwise construction appeared flawless. I opted for the D rings and cord without line locs, I used small bowlines to attach the cord as well. The cord is of high quality and very reflective with any light source. I used this as a tarp for my warbonnet blackbird. I believe I opted for the longer ridge line and was grateful for the extra coverage. I used this on a 4 day backpacking trip with two nights of car camping in the black hills of SD in mid may. It rained the first three days and was windy. This tarp performed flawlessly. It is sturdy and very lightweight. I was able to secure stake and tension quickly and had no problems with leaking or displacement from the wind. I could not ask more if this tarp and would highly recommend it.

This is my first tarp. I went with silpoly and it’s still light as heck! It was a bit of a pain to seal in my 1br apt (quarantine feels bro) but worth it. It’s lovely!

This is an amazing tarp! Very light weight and strong. Packs up small, was easy to seam seal and is a joy to use in the field. I ordered the copper color and have had several comments on how cool it looks. Very happy with this purchase.

Love the tarp! It is larger than the tarp that it is replacing, same fabric, similar construction, but it weighs less. This tarp is very well made.

This tarp packs down small, weight is minimal and is the perfect addition to anyone’s pack.

This tarp was just used for a backpacking fishing trip. It rained hard 1 day and 2 nights. The performance was excellent. Lightweight and highly packable but worked well to protect my down quilt. Thank you hammockgear for the great gear and excellent customer service.
