UOG TOP PICK - DD Superlight Tarp The DD Superlight Tarp S is a fully waterproof, lightweight and compact tarp designed to provide shelter for one person and their gear. Ideal for lightweight backpacking or adventure sports. Whether a novice or a seasoned wild camping veteran, the DD superlight tarp is the only tarp you will need. It’s an absolute classic and a staple of the wild camping community, one of our top picks.

DD Hammocks says:

Seriously compact day shelter. At just 260g The DD SuperLight Tarp S is our lightest rain shelter - its tiny pack size allows it to easily fit into a jacket pocket and it has a number of uses!

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.
 
Due to its size, we don't recommend this tarp as a hammock shelter. For hammocks, opt for our regular-sized DD Superlight Tarp.

Our Verdict

The DD Superlight Tarp S is the perfect tarp for ground bivi camping. It provides a good amount of shelter for one person and their gear. It will also make a great day shelter or ground sheet, as it can easily and quickly be set up for lunch stops and rest breaks out on the trail.

If your looking for something that will cover a slightly larger surface area, there's also the DD Superlight Tarp which might be better suited to your set up.

General care

  • Over time repeated fold lines can start to weaken the fine material of your DD SuperLight gear. To pack away, we always recommend 'stuffing' your DD SuperLight gear into its bag instead.
  • To preserve the strength of the material, avoid folding along the same lines too frequently (change after 10 times)
  • Store in a cool, dry, dark place
  • Always ensure your gear (including any cordage) is completely dry before storing away
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (above 40C and below -15C), and keep your gear at least a 2m distance from flames
  • Do not machine wash. Clean carefully by hand only, using lukewarm water
  • Prolonged exposure to strong UV light can cause material to weaken (UV degradation is excluded from warranty)
