View Full Version : Pacific Outdoor Equipment WXtex S-Tarp
Anyone have opinions on this? I was looking for inexpensive tarps and came across this.

I just got the S4 10x12 and think it is worth the money for an inexpensive tarp. It has plenty of tie outs as well as grommets and provides great coverage.With the additional tie outs on either side of the ridgeline there is a lot of flexibilty in set up.
Having said all that, after getting mine and setting it up in the backyard for my hammock, I decided that I am sticking with my 8x10 Sil tarp - sacrifice space for weight so I'll either sell mine or let it gather dust in the gear closet. Your link shows it on sale for 117.95. If you like the big one and want mine, I'd ship it for $95.00.
That's good to hear. I was more interested in the s1 for $67. Don't know what i'd do with the big one, but thanks for the offer.
After more digging I finally found an amazon.com review that basically said the same. A little on the heavy side but works well.

What you do with one that size is set it up A-Frame style and close both ends off ...
... or get 3 other folks to share it with you because it will definitely sleep 4.
why not get the 8x10 silnylon tarp from campmor? around the same cost and size but lighter. i use mine a lot and love it....
