.55 oz/sqyd Standard Dyneema® Composite Fabric The default canopy material choice on this tarp is .55 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric. It has high tensile strength and can handle strong winds, storms, and all the typical conditions a tent will be in. All Dyneema® Composite Fabric material can easily be repaired in the field with the included repair tape if it were to get a puncture. The material is semi-transparent, allowing you to see the silhouette of trees when looking out. In bright sunlight, you can see the fuzzy silhouette of a person when looking in, but it is opaque in low evening light. Puncture Strength: 1.8 lb (8 N) Water Resistance: 15,000 mmH₂O Made in the USA. |

.66 oz/sqyd Dyneema® Composite Fabric This canopy material choice has the same Dyneema® thread count as standard .55 oz/sqyd, but with a slightly thicker laminate that allows for a darker color or pattern to be printed on the material. The thicker laminate brings the fabric weight to .66 oz/sqyd. It blends in to nature well. It is darker, less transparent and offers more privacy. Dyneema® Composite Fabric has a bit of a sheen to it when it is new, but it dulls down significantly with some use. This video by John Abela shows the opacity and color of the camo fabric. It adds around .6 ounces (17 grams) to the weight of the 7' x 9' Flat Tarp. Puncture Strength: 1.9 lb (8.5 N) Water Resistance: 15,000 mmH₂O Made in the USA. |

United StatesI bought the Zpacks 7x9 flat tarp and I’m very happy with it as my shelter system is now at 1lb 7oz.
New ZealandEasy to *****, nice and light, ideal for summer camping
AustraliaFantastic product and absolute freedom for the minimalist hiker. I added some Zpacks stick on hang loops on the inside for a mosquito net and it’s golden. Highly recommended.
United StatesFor ultralight durability this composite fabric is currently the best choice for a variety of applications. As an outdoor enthusiast who happens to be a chemist, I can speak to the value of its near bullet proof molecular composition. As a medical doctor on an active search and rescue team I have observed, as many of you have, that carrying the lightest possible load without sacrificing function promotes fresh legs and a favorable sweat threshold in the backcountry. Z-packs adds to this a commendable history of innovative design and fine workmanship. I can say all this, and I don’t even work for z- packs or earn a commission. Dyneema could be improved by becoming breathable and less expensive, but in the meantime attention to good ventilation and having a well designed budget seem to do well enough.
