Effective, but larger and heavier than one might expect
Likes
Very big; covers A LOT of ground. This will keep you and your extended party dry. It's very big. Did I mention that?
Dislikes
Disclaimer: None of this should have been a surprise, as all of this was disclosed prior, but: -This tarp does not include stakes. Stakes are very handy for getting a tight pitch in arbitrary clearings. -Compared to some similar tarps, it does not have line pockets sewn into the corners to help organize the lines when packing. -It was heavier than anticipated, due to sheer size. (I should have realized this before ordering, but it was my oversight, not a fault of the product.) -I had hoped this might serve as a backup emergency shelter for day hiking, but for me it is too large and heavy for this purpose. Bottom line: I would buy the regular size (non XL) if doing this again.
