Defender Square Tarp - Waterproof, Durable and Versatile Nylon Tarp Tent Shelter, 10 by 10 ft, True Terrain Camo

This tarp is lightweight and waterproof. Which were my prerequisites for a tarp. Its big enough for both my wife and I to sleep under with all our gear. We slept under this tarp with a fire right next to it for many weekends. Never had a problem with rain getting through. Or with the fire damaging the tarp as people seem to be concerned about. This is definitely a tarp I would recommend for durability and light weight portability.

On the heavy side but it takes some weight to be strong

I like everything about this tarp. It could use a few guy out tabs built into the fabric, but it is a great addition to my safety equipment. I highly recommend this AQUA QUEST DEFENDER tarp set ...

Good, heavy duty tarp.

This tarp is much Stronger than traditional ultralight tarps. Since everyone is so he’ll bent in survival skills this tarp can withstand cold, heat and bad conditions. Not spark proof but can do the job for sheltering in bad conditions. SEMPER FI

Good so far

Hi All, to begin I would like to say I am still out testing this tarp it is the 15x15 camo tarp, but it has its flaws and could be much better. Aqua Quest if you read this please, please take this to heart and I hope you can please look into making changes to this soon. where to start, #1 the loop tie outs on this are extremely big they do not need to be as big as they are, these loops are over 3 inches long and do not stay on steaks in the ground. #2 there need to be way more tie outs all the way around this tarp edge to edge and across the entire tarp side to side. 4 tie outs on each side is not near enough. from corner to corner there needs to be 5 tie outs across the tarp on all 4 sides then add 5 tie outs across the face of the tarp across from each tie out around the edge for a total tie out count of 25 tie loops. I have 2 tarps I use depending on the situation, my 13x13 wildventure green tarp its actually mustard yellow in color but whatever, it has 25 tie outs on it and its able to be made into a tent shape better than the aqua quest camo 15x15 tarp. as shown in the pics they are both setup in tent style, the camo with 4 tie out and the green one with 5 tie outs, both are waterproof but the wildventure one is about 2ft smaller and is able to fit in the bottom of my pack it rolls up extremely small the Aqua Quest is huge,and it rolls up into a stuff sack about 14 inches thick about 18 inches long and weighs roughly 15lbs on my scale this thing is extremely heavy and not able to be put in a pack. this tarp they claim can be setup in multiple ways which yes it could, if it had the proper number of tie outs and came with the proper amount of steaks and tie out cords. you will need to buy a rope to use as a ridgeline, paracord wont cut it, it stretches. also you will need to buy steaks, and tie out cords to use with it as it does not come with any. other than that I have zero complaints so far about the tarp but I am still testing it out and will be back after my 1yr use I am now 9 months into using it so stay tuned, all I can say is this tarp would be more used if you are car camping and not using a pack but more to come after my 1 yr of use.

I haven’t used it yet, but it seems to be extremely well built and rugged. I’m very pleased with the purchase. A little expensive/overpriced, but I’ve learned the hard way the wisdom of “buy once, cry once”

Just perfect

Been using nylon coated tarps for years and this one is by far the best in design and durability. Numerous tie downs throughout and the beefed up corners make this tarp the best Ive used yet.
