The Hex Tarp is a high-performance hammock shelter built from Dyneema® Composite Fabric for ultralight durability and minimal stretch. It features a six-sided design with panel pull-outs and multiple tie-out options, making it ideal for hammock setups where weather protection and pack weight both matter. Every tie-out uses bonded and sewn reinforcement, and the ridgeline is fully taped to eliminate seam-sealing requirements.

- Dyneema® composite has zero stretch to eliminate sagging when wet. Because of this quality, we also highly recommend adding shock cord loops to all tie-put points for added protection from damage in high-winds. It is equally important to not overtighten tie-out point as this can compromise the material over time.

Havent used it more than just setting it up. But its super light, very packable, and seems to be made really well. Very simple to use with the line locs. Once the weather gets a bit warmer, I will sleeping under this all summer!

verry verry good service ????????????????
Thank you Thommy!
I wish I had not bought this tarp for 2 reasons. I forgot how noisy this fabric is. It would keep me awake all night on a windy night. Second,, I often take mid day breaks in my hikes and occasionally don't have shade. I need my tarp to block the bright sun. This tarp will allow the bright sun right through.
Hi Mark, Dyneema tarps are not for everyone. They are relatively translucent and one of the largest complaints about them is that they are noisier than silnylon tarps. People get hung up and excited over how light they are, but don't truly understand the fabric. As with anything, if you are not familiar with the product, the best thing to do is to see it firsthand. If that isn't an option, doing a lot of research on the pros and cons of an item or a fabric is always recommended. If you are an ultralight hiker and you take care of your gear, a dyneema tarp will last for a very long time and provide great waterproof coverage for many years. If you are just looking for something to provide shade and coverage for wet days, sometimes a silnylon tarp is a better fit if you don't care about the weight penalty. I guarantee that you can post that tarp up on a backpacking resale site or an outdoor gear swap page and it will be gone very quickly, there are always people looking for the ultralight performance of a dyneema tarp. Sorry it didn't fit your needs!
Perfect tarp for my ultralight needs. Light and well made.
5 day trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of northern MN. Several thunderstorms, over 4 inches of rain and everything underneath stayed dry. Impressive - but even more impressive was days of sustained winds, with one day having gusts of 50 mph! Ive used this tarp for years and it just wont quit.
