HouseFly Rain Tarp

Ordered for a two week hunting trip this fall. I read a post that mentioned the fly holding water once it got wet so as a test I set it up in the back yard for a few days here in Florida. We had several big downpours, none of which seemed to phase the fly. No water was absorbed at all. A quick shake and all the water beads ran right off.It's light weight and compressed size will fit nicely in my backpack. The quality looks to be topnotch. I'm using it to cover myEagles Nest Outfitters - DoubleNest Hammock. Setup was easy and I expect that you could use the fly as a tent if you didn't want to setup your hammock. I did find that I'll have to hang this up a bit higher than I thought on my initial setup but that's not going to be an issue. There's plenty of room inside for you to setup, doesn't feel cramped at all and I'm 6'4".

Love it!!! Kept me and my gear dry! I was tried to be talked in to a smaller tarp and I'm so glad I went with this tarp.I was camping before a hurricane was coming and we had crazy rain, the kind of rain that blew in all directions. And with this housefly, me and my gear stayed dry.Instead of staking down I had plenty of trees to tie to and I love the way the housefly has been designed to tighten so easily after it's been secured down.Lightweight and durable! Never leaked through!Got home and hung out and dryed easily in the house with a ceiling fan on. It was still raining when I got home, so that's why I hung inside to dry. Worked fine though.The stuff sack is great with ease of rolling up the tarp and putting it in the stuff sack.So if you think there is going to be wind or rain and you want to stay dry, well I'll choose to bring my housefly and just relax in my hammock while the storm passes.

I bought this fly for a backcountry hunting trip I have planned for September. I set it up in my yard it it appears to be exactly what I expected it to be. This is a quality rain fly that will keep me dry and out of the elements. I left it up for a couple of days and it handled a severe storm with ease and kept the hammock dry.

I bought this for better wind and rain protection when backpacking with my hammock. It's been especially helpful in the winter when it snows. It's not nearly as light as my cuben tarp but it's not see through either-just depends on what you're looking for. It functions great, has been durable, even on extended 30 day+ trips and is easy and quick to set up. I've used it as a shelter without a hammock too and it actually works really good with that.

Not that much heavier than my ENO silny hex tarp, and provides impressive protection from wind and rain. This little beauty was easy to set up once I figured out the best height and wall angle, and the storm flap lips make getting in and out surprisingly easy. This tarp protected me from heavy rain and high winds (gusts over 40 mph easy) the first time I took it out into a storm. I wish I'd known about it on previous trips, but it's coming with me whenever weather threatens now.

I like the end covers as the are not available on most of the other options on the market. It is made to be light weight more than anything. Material is average, super thin rip stop. I would prefer the dimensions were a little bigger all the way around and the door would full close. You can close the ends all the way, but it make the door latch useless and a pain to get in and out.

This fly is great for 4 season backpacking/camping. I just returned from an overnight in freezing temperatures. I woke up to cold wind and sleet/snow mix. This rain fly blocked most of the wind and did not have any moisture pass through the material nor did my breath condensate on the inside. This rain fly made sleeping in a hammock much more comfortable in these temperatures.The HouseFly can also be used with trekking poles, sticks or trees to create a shelter or ultralight tent.The buckles make getting in and out painless.

Hubs needed this for his camping trip. Great price and was a much needed gift.
