Sifly's Review of Mountainsmith Mountain Shade Tarp 12

I have yet to use it, I just received it. It immediately felt heavier than expected, but luckily, I have multple high end annually calibrated scales, as I own a coffee roaster, and its packed weight is 2lb 12 oz, or 2.75lb, or 44oz. It's listed weight here is 1.9lb. Considering I bought this for backpacking and it's almost a full pound over I'm really disappointed. The actual mountainsmith website lists it's packed weight at 1lb 14oz, which is 1.9lb so it's not campsavers error. It's probably decent quality, but this sort of discrepancy is seriously off putting.
Pros:
  • Cheap
Cons:
  • 144% of listed weight
Best Used for:
  • Car Camping
Would Recommend: No
