We know that weight and pack size is a huge consideration when packing your bike, so this tarp is made from DD Hammocks SuperLight material - the same fully waterproof and ultralight material as our popular SuperLight Tarps and Tents. An ideal companion for extreme and adventure sports like cycling, climbing or trail running, the DD Superlight Tarp S will keep you dry on rest stops while keeping your pack weight to an absolute minimum. It has 19 attachment points, meaning it can be set-up in hundreds of different ways, from simple bivvy, to hammock roof, to a group shelter. It can be used as a hammock tarp, set-up on the ground as a 'tent', group shelter and many more uses!

Frameless and single layered, it's designed to be as light as possible: simply prop up the foot end with the spreader bar provided, and the top end with either 1 or 2 hiking poles. Perfect for ground bivi camping, it provides plenty of shelter for one person and gear - and also makes a great quick-setup day shelter, tent porch extension or ground sheet. It also makes a great day shelter or ground sheet, easily and quickly set up for lunch stops and rest breaks out on the trail. With a taped central seam and 3,000 PU waterproof coating, the tarp will retain its impermeability and the ripstop nylon fabric prevents tears from becoming a problem. A perfect option for a quick rain shelter, ground bivi camp, or keeping the wind off your stove during a lunchbreak.I already have a standard DD 3X3 tarp, which I will still use, when camping with somebody who doesn't have their own tarp, but bought the superlight for when I camp on my own, or with others who have their own.

the tarp has 19 reinforced attachment points including three in the centre of the tarp on the ridgeline.

It provides a generous amount of cover for a hammock and a few possessions, and I think the other one would be too small. I'm looking forward to getting out and testing it, and deciding what other goodies to pack now I've got some extra space.

Obviously I was expecting this tarp to be superlight, but when it arrived I was still pleasantly surprised at the noticeable weight difference and compactness.
