I am looking for a 'bomber' tarp that has suitable room for 2. I have settled on either the Hilleberg UL10 or the Granite Gear White Lightnin' (10×12). I know there are lighter options, but I am looking for feedback on only these two. The Hilleberg is more waterproof (higher hydrostatic head) but the GG may be able to be set up tighter (or so I have heard). Any other downsides / upsides to these two?
David, I've been looking for a big flat tarp myself. Unfortunately, I'm new to this type of gear and don't have much in the way of wisdom to impart regarding your selection. I was wondering though: why did you rule out Oware's big stuff and MLD's SuperTarp?
No – I haven't ruled them out. MLD requires too long a wait currently, however.
Silnylon is the cats PJ's but I know how strong and waterproof for the weight the Hilleberg Kerlon 1200 fabric is. The UL10 is 20oz, but that includes stuff sack and guylines (spectra) and guyline runners at each tie off point plus additional reinforcements at each point. At 9.5 x 11.5 it is right on top of silnylon weight. But with a hydrostatic head of almost 3 x that of silnylon there will not be any misting. Add tear strength that is also 3 x that of silnylon and I am surprised I don't hear more about their tarps.
As far as the SuperTarp, one could add Grip Clips to the sides of any flat tarp and get similar effect….I think.

Hi Tom – is there a link? Thanks!
Oware has a new site
although not as nice as the new ULA site the upgrade is nice and more user friendly.
Oware is moving and is having a moving sale, see earlier post today.
