This is one of the easiest flys to set up for hammocks, I've used a variety of special built to generic tarps and this is by far the best for the price. NO KNOTS, the rope tensioners make it easy to put the stake in and pull it tight, It doesn't lose tension overnight and kept me dry in heavy rain. Light weight and high quality form ENO

This is the best tarp I have ever used, it is so easy to set up and so durable. Just hiked 20 miles in below freezing temps with 50 mph winds and when I put up the this tarp it stayed put. This adjustment on the corners to tighten and loosen are so easy and work great. I love that I do not even need to tie a knot. Excellent design ENO.

I am I US Marine in the Infantry, that being said I need gear that is not only tough and that I can rely on but also lightweight. I have personally bought ENO products for years as both a civilian and for my military use.I bought this tarp to use as a makeshift shelter in the jungle, not only did it preform incredible but I was stuck 6 days on an island with well over 80mph wind with a hurricane just offshore. I have never in my life seen it rain that hard for 6 days straight without letting up. I thought without a doubt this tarp was either going to rip in half or get sent flying away in the wind. I stayed not only dry but my gear as well which is a huge plus. I will never use another brand of tarps other than ENO and any of their products for that matter. I 100% recommend them to anyone no matter the situation.

Ok so. Waterproof yes. Durable eh. Lightweight yes. Easy to repack not really but I’ve had worse products. So the number one problem I have with this product is that the ropes that you tie it down with especially the two that go tree to tree, are very short especially compared to the hammock straps. No where near long enough and if you’re planning on using on large trees. Don’t bother. Small trees that are close together yeah sure. But other than that seems like a pretty decent product. You’ll just have to be smart about where exactly you’re hanging it. Or you could swap the rope that comes with it for some parachord but for the money you should t have to do that.

I am very happy overall with this product. I bought it in the course of putting together a full hammock camping setup, but it has proven itself useful for general backpacking as well. It packs small and light, and sets up fairly quickly and easily (if you know some basic knots to attach it to tress/rocks/stakes). The included guy lines are a little stiff for my liking, but they have worked for multiple setups so far. I might upgrade them to some paracord in the future, but for now they have worked fine.I brought it for the first time on a trip into the sierras so that we could have some shelter from sunshine and potential thunderstorms (early spring trip). It ended up raining the entire weekend, and this thing saved our bacon (well, bratwurst), as well as our sanity, as we had a dry refuge from the relentless rain to sit, eat, and otherwise not be stuck in our tents. It remained solid through rain, sleet, hail, and snow, and kept on ticking through the entire deluge. Well worth the extra pound in my pack if only for occasions like this.

I used the ENO tarp for the first time on a hike in the Ouachita National Forest. Usually I wouldn't plan on bringing a tarp for a day hike, but because it's so lightweight it was an easy addition. About halfway into our 8-mile loop we could hear thunderstorms forming around us and elected to push through and get out as soon as possible. However, when the downpour started we were still over 3 miles from the trail head and I could see on my phone a long line of rain to come. We broke out the tarp in the wind and rain and had it setup in under 3 minutes. I purchased MSR Groundhog stakes to use with the tarp. It performed wonderfully in the awful conditions. It withstood the wind bursts easily and even quarter sized hail. I have very little experience with severe weather in the outdoors so having a shelter that was so easy to setup and provided us with protection was a huge comfort. We waited out the storm and were able to have it packed and back on the trail in just a couple of minutes. When we were back at our cabin we were able to set it up again in the sun and it dried very quickly. I couldn't be happier with my purchase or more thankful that I'd had it along on the trail.

I've used a handful of backpacking tarps now, and the Eagle's Nest pro fly is probably the easiest I've used so far.My favorite feature of the tarp is, aside from its light weight, the guy lines on all corners. They each have a cool little plastic holder thing that makes it really easy to adjust your tarp lines once it's set up. This can help you get a really taught tarp and line set up, which makes it easier to avoid problems with wind, weather, etc.The shape and weight of the tarp is ideal, and when I use this along with my hammock, it's a super lightweight setup that saves plenty of pounds. It's length and width are good and I've never had a problem with it breaking down in weather, and it's been through a few rough storms.Great quality, good function, really enjoy using this tarp.
